Hi Guix,
The manual (see (info "(guix) X Window")) mentions that it's possible to
add two slim services but it seems not to work. When I tried to
reconfigure the system it gives the following error:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix system: error: more than one target service of type 'slim'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Thanks.

If I understand the relevant code properly, this should happen only when
you try to extend a service type (eg. slim-service-type) with another
service, but you have multiple instances of the given service type, and
so guix system can't disambiguate between the two (it would be better if
you could manually specify that imho, but alas). Could you post a
snippet of your config, especially the service part?
Best,

Here it goes. The manual states that you can have two slim services on
different ttys. Am I misinterpreting something? Thank you!
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(services (cons* (set-xorg-configuration (xorg-configuration
(modules (list xf86-input-libinput
xf86-input-evdev
xf86-input-wacom))
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)
(server-arguments
;; disable screen-saver timeout
(append (list "-s" "0")
%default-xorg-server-arguments))
(extra-config (list xorg-touchpad
xorg-monitor)))
slim-service-type)
(service slim-service-type (slim-configuration (display ":0")
(vt "vt7")))
;; Doesn't work to add a 2nd service of the same type,
;; contrary to what the docs say
;; (service slim-service-type (slim-configuration (display ":0")
;; (vt "vt8")))
(modify-services %desktop-services
(guix-service-type
config => (guix-configuration
(inherit config)
(substitute-urls

%default-substitute-urls))
(authorized-keys
(append (list (plain-file "non-guix.pub"
nonguix-key))
%default-authorized-guix-keys))))
(delete gdm-service-type)
(delete (screen-locker-service xlockmore "xlock")))))

I don't think you're misinterpreting anything, but Josselin is
correct when they say

In your case, you're using set-xorg-configuration which tries to
extend your slim-service-type service. Unfortunately, you want to
define two of them, which causes the extension mechanism to fail
complaining about the ambiguity.
You should be able to fix this by adding the xorg-configuration
directly into the slim service that you're defining, something
like this:
(cons* (service slim-service-type (slim-configuration
(display ":0")
(vt "vt7")
(xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(modules (list
xf86-input-libinput
xf86-input-evdev
xf86-input-wacom))
(keyboard-layout
keyboard-layout)
(server-arguments
;; disable screen-saver
timeout
(append (list "-s" "0")
%default-xorg-server-arguments))
(extra-config (list
xorg-touchpad
xorg-monitor))))))
(service slim-service-type (slim-configuration
(display ":0")
(vt "vt8")
;; I wasn't sure if you
wanted the same
;; xorg-configuration here,
so I left it out.
))
(modify-services %desktop-services
(delete gdm-service-type)
(delete (screen-locker-service xlockmore "xlock"))))
I hope that helps,
Carlo

Hi Carlo Zancanaro,
It all makes sense now! I really appreciate your help, thanks :)
