Per ‘guix system shepherd-graph desktop.tmpl’, the only dependent of
‘term-tty2’ is ‘console-font-tty2’.
I just tried in a desktop.tmpl VM and only ‘console-font-tty2’ is
restarted (screenshot attached.) Same on my laptop, which uses Xorg but
not GNOME.
Could it be something with the Wayland-related services? Could you
check ‘guix system shepherd-graph’ on your config?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
