Hi everyone!
I've tried using the default Polish keyboard layout with
SLiM and it doesn't seem to work - the system reconfigures properly
with no single error or warning, then after rebooting and logging in,
the layout is unavailable - only the US layout. The Polish layout is
aviable in tty's, but not in X sessions. I've run guix pull
several days ago.
This is my configuration:
(keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "pl" "legacy"))
[...]
(service slim-service-type
(slim-configuration
(display ":0")
(vt "vt7")))
(set-xorg-configuration (xorg-configuration
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))
slim-service-type)
PS tried sending this message to
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/26234
but it got lost. Is it an accident, or is sending messages to closed
issues impossible?

It is closed. This was the last comment:
It’s been a while :-), but this is fixed by
598757e038ab5dea3b59c9c248a2ad860c41fe62, which lets you choose the Xorg
keyboard layout (this was already possible before actually, but a bit
more involved.)

The answer is from March, I ran "guix pull" and "sudo guix system
reconfigure /etc/config.scm" today, and the keyboard layout is still
unavailable. There's a chance this bug is similar to the bug from
the past, but not the same, letting it exist unnoticed.

Hi,
In case you haven’t found the solution, yet, perhaps this snippet from
my config.scm will help you. You will need to trim it to adapt to your
circumstances.
(services (cons* (service slim-service-type (slim-configuration
(display ":0")
(vt "vt7")
(auto-login? #t)
(default-user "w")
(xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "pl,cz"
"legacy,ucw"
#:options '("compose:menu,grp:caps_switch")))))))
;; skipped content
))

Hi,
I've tried this solution already, but it didn't work for me then and it
doesn't work now. When I try to reconfigure my system, guix throws:
guix system: error: failed to load '/etc/config.scm':
/etc/config.scm:66:57: Wrong type to apply: #<<keyboard-layout> name:
"pl" variant: "legacy" model: #f options: ()>
Don't really know why this happens. Here's my config.scm:
(services
(append
(list (service mate-desktop-service-type)
(service slim-service-type
(slim-configuration
(display ":0")
(vt "vt7")
(xorg-configuration (xorg-configuration
(keyboard-layout
(keyboard-layout "pl" "legacy")))))) (service tor-service-type)
(extra-special-file "/bin/bash"
(file-append coreutils "/bin/bash"))
;; (set-xorg-configuration
;; (xorg-configuration
;; (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))
;; slim-service-type))
)
(remove (lambda (service)
(eq? (service-kind service) gdm-service-type))
%desktop-services))))

My wild guess at it would be:
diff --git a/config.scm b/config.scm
index 83044a1..1c07417 100644
--- a/config.scm
+++ b/config.scm
@@ -15,8 +15,7 @@

- )
(remove (lambda (service)
(eq? (service-kind service) gdm-service-type))

+ %desktop-services)))))

I can't really remove it - notice I'm using append and two
lists instead of cons* - the remove procedure returns a list of services
without GDM and removing the parenthesis would make a nested list
inside the list of services "operating-system" accepts.
I've just replaced append+list with cons* just for testing purposes and
it still doesn't work, the same result.
But trying another solution have helped:
I replaced (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout ...)) in slim-configuration
with (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout).
Thanks for helping me.
set-xorg-configuration doesn't work with slim though, would be nice if
someone fixed it and the fact (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "pl,cz"
"legacy,ucw")) works on your machine, but not on mine is strange.

The last thing that comes to my mind is the line:
(use-service-modules desktop xorg)
Have you got these in your config.scm?

Yes I have. I wouldn't be able to run Mate DE, if I didn't have
these two.
