Hi,
thanks for help

I added this line in my config.scm
---------------------------------------
(use-modules (gnu))
(use-modules (gnu services lightdm))
(use-package-modules cups scanner)
(use-service-modules cups desktop networking ssh xorg virtualization)

--------------------------------------

after running sudo guix system reconvigure....
it says:

mistake: the service "xorg-server" appears more than one time.

--------------------------------------------------

because gdm is also installed.

So can I have both installed?


kind regards

Gottfried

At the beginning of the file there should be a list of imported modules, you should add something like

<snip>
(use-modules (gnu services lightdm))
<snap>

Which is the Guile module in which the symbol `lightdm-service-type' is defined, without that Guile won't know how to relate that symbol to any meaningful value.

If you want to find where a service is defined you could use the emacs interface for Guix: typing 'M-x guix RET s a' gives you a list of clickable service names, when you click on one of them useful info pops up. There's probably a way to do it with the command-line interface, but I'm not familiar with that.

I hope this helps :)
