For example, user ids and passwords persist across reconfiguration. Next time, I'd try to log in via terminal and check the log on tty12. Or let it go. Kind regards Felix

After starting up the system today, I find any attempt to login via GDM fails to start a session, and dumps me back to the GDM login screen. Please assist. Oh, that's interesting. I added a new user to the system by editing config.scm, did a guix system reconfigure, and rebooted, and now both the new user and my original user account can login via GDM without problems.

Re: KDE Plasma Desktop no Keyboard languages available
Hi Felix, thanks As a second step, you also need to make sure that you have the "locales" installed. That's the Linux term for a neat bunch of data that describes the local customs including language, timezone and currency. For you, that would presumably be German, English, Greek and Hebrew. In MATE Desktop several languages are available, but in KDE/Plasma they arn´t. This means, AFAIU that the locales are installed. Or do I have to install the locales for each language separately? If so, how? thanks Gottfried Am 05.03.25 um 19:40 schrieb Felix Lechner: Hi Gottfried, On Tue, Mar 04 2025, gfp wrote: Die auf dem System verfügbaren Lokalisierungen konnten nicht mit dem Werkzeug localectl gefunden werden. I believe the "localectl" program is part of the SystemD suite, which we don't use. We use the Shepherd, which is much better for Guix. Someone with more Guix experience needs to jump in here.

Re: Gnome "oh no something has gone wrong..."
Hi Christophe, On 13/03/25 6:51, Christophe Pisteur wrote: I'm on guix system with Gnome and Wayland. After a guix pull, then guix package -u then guix system reconfigure, I went from gnome 44 to gnome 46 and from linux 6.12 to linux 6.13. After rebooting and connecting to my session, the following message appears after about one minutes: "oh no something has gone wrong a problem has occurred and the system can't recover please log out and try again" This has happened to me before, and it usually goes away by rebooting once again (restarting GNOME session is not enough). I have no extension to gnome-shell I also did: rm -r ~/.config/dconf rm -r ~/.local/share/gnome-shell the problem remains the same I think removing dconf configuration would erase your whole personal desktop preferences (including preferences of some applications). I'd avoid doing that. I'm on Wayland, and I've tried to connect with xorg, but the problem persists. Strangely enough, I can still use my session if I leave the error message on one workspace and I work on another workspace. If I want to close the error message, it closes my session. Does anyone have any idea what to do? Besides what I mentioned above, I also experience problems similar to the ones mentioned in issue #36924.¹ They occur from time to time after having reconfigured the system. If rebooting again doesn't solve your problem, maybe take a look at that issue for other workarounds. Right now for example, I can't start a GNOME session using the latest generation of my system (guix f1810c8). When I log in, all I see is a black screen. I assume it is one of those state-related issues because if I create a new user I can log in normally with that user only. Anyways, good luck, 1. https://issues.guix.gnu.org/36924 · GDM, GNOME Shell, etc. break when there are stale caches OpenPGP_0x0AB0D067012F08C3.asc Description: OpenPGP public key OpenPGP_signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Ha, in the meantime, I found that my custom «~/.config/shepherd/init.scm» was the root of this problem. Apparently it became obsolete in the new generation of the system because Shepherd's API has changed.
