So, I was using the config file that the graphic config had produced. I still am. There is some complaints from the package manager about localization, and also something about putting my .guix-profile directory into an environment variable. I've tried to figure out what the latter is about, but I don't know how it is -supposed- to work, so I'm not sure what to do about it. From what I hear on irc, the profile and probably everything in the .guix-profile dir is repeatedly generated, which means it's not -there- I should correct things probably. So I'm a bit confused on that point. I also have some trouble with the window manager I chose, i3. It seems it didn't fully install. It's called up, and works.. the status bar didn't though, not until I installed it manually, and I still haven't gotten dmenu to work properly. Regardless.. those three things are probably besides the point/bug. The system got up and started, it works, I can log into it, and if I knew what I was doing I could probably remedy the remaining things in a snap. I've attached the config file I used.
