On Debian 11 (current stable), I did this:
recent commit, from today
|
------ ▼
$ guix time-machine --commit=ea71ec1630e06503c14c6e7f4570b69de4e42123 -- install gnome-terminal
$ gnome-terminal
# Error creating terminal: The name org.gnome.Terminal was not provided by any .service files
$
------
So, it doesn't work in general. But, it also doesn't break login. I
tried `bash --login` and also logged in from the console in another TTY.
However, my system doesn't use a desktop environment or login manager. I
login from the console and run `startx`.
