Hi Maxime,

I just tried using:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$(./pre-inst-env guix system vm -e '(@@ (gnu tests lightdm) %lightdm-os)') -m 1G -smp cores=4
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And this is what I saw, logging in as 'root' graphically, starting xterm
and issuing:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
root <at> komputilo ~# echo $PATH
/run/setuid-programs:/root/.config/guix/current/bin:/root/.guix-profile/bin:/run/current-system/profile/bin:/run/current-system/profile/sbin
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Seems to be alright.

> Could be tested with a nice system test ...

What would the system test look like?

1. Login using the login manager (difficult unless using autologin --
I've tried).

2. Open a terminal, run 'echo $PATH' and run the OCR on it?  That
doesn't sound too great.

I've pushed the series for now, feel free to experiment with it!

Thanks,

Maxim

Hello Guix!

This adds a lightdm-service-type, which is based on the work of 'L p R n d n'
more than two years ago.  It reworks the way configurations are define (via
define-configuration), exposes VNC and XDMCP configuration options and adds
unit and system tests.

It works fine, but there are a few gotchas:

1. The session selection menu doesn't show the items.  I don't know why.
Perhaps a regresssion with newer GTK+.

2. Because of 1., you should specify a default session, otherwise you won't be
able to log in, as the default session is 'default.desktop', which doesn't
exist.

Thanks,
