I tried this out and everything worked, so please push to master.

Unfortunately for me, something is still misbehaving when it comes to
closing the laptop lid so I had to switch back to XFCE.

Awesome!  :-)

Maybe we should add a variant of gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl that
uses all things GNOME?

Thanks,

Yes...I tried it and currently get the opaque and slightly obnoxious

    `Oh no!  Something has gone wrong'

I have been using

  ...
  (packages
   (cons* gnome
          gnome-shell
          guile-wm
          nss-certs
          xkbutils
          %base-packages))
  (services
   (cons* (console-keymap-service "dvorak")
          ;;(dhcp-client-service)
          (lsh-service #:port-number 2222
                       #:allow-empty-passwords? #t
                       #:root-login? #t)
          %desktop-services))

Uncommenting (dhcp-client-service) gives the error

    guix system: error: service 'networking' provided more than once

but having it commented-out like this I cannot login with ssh to the
vm...and I cannot investigate what may have triggered the opaque error
message...puzzled

How are running the VM? The way I've been using it (documented in 7.2.14
in the manual) does not allow the host to connect to the guest.

What works for me is when I use

  ...
  (packages
   (cons* dezyne-server  ;;-release
          nss-certs
          %base-packages))

  (services
   (cons* (dhcp-client-service)
          (lsh-service #:port-number 2222
                       #:allow-empty-passwords? #t
                       #:root-login? #t)
          (postgresql-service)
          (dezyne-service #:config 'localhost)
          %base-services)))

create an image using

    guix system --load-path=$(HOME)/shadow.git/release vm ~/shadow.git/release/development-verum-com.scm --expose=$(HOME) --share=$(HOME)/tmp=/exchange

(creating a standalone vm-image, what I would like, does not work for
me)

And then, I do

    /gnu/store/pxvsvbxm0gmg7s422pddg2kzbizdgig7-run-vm.sh -m 1G -redir tcp:2223::2222 -redir tcp:3001::3000 -redir tcp:5433::5432 &

What happens when you try it?

I remember another guix-related error, now I get

Hmm, that's not how I'm using `guix system vm-image` and QEMU and I'm
not familiar enough with QEMU to troubleshoot this. I'm using the method
described in the manual.

Me too, this is with master 6d415db a couple of hours ago, doing

    guix system -L . vm-image drakenvlieg.scm  --expose=$(HOME)=/host --share=$(HOME)/tmp=/exchange

it seems that building qemu-mininimal package fails.

This is due to the fact that %desktop-services includes wicd-service.
Somewhere in the current documentation there is a paragraph that explains
how to delete a service from a list of services (which is a bit more
complicated than just removing a fixed variable, and amounts to checking
the type of a service), but I have trouble finding it again.
Ah, one needs to iterate over the services s in the list and test
(eq? (service-kind s) some-service-type).

Thanks!  I got a vm with ssh service and gnome, using

    ...
    (packages
       (cons* gnome
              gnome-shell
              guile-wm
              nss-certs
              xkbutils
              %base-packages))

      (services
       (cons* (console-keymap-service "dvorak")
              ;; TODO: package dvorak-control
              (dhcp-client-service)
              (lsh-service #:port-number 2222
                           #:allow-empty-passwords? #t
                           #:root-login? #t)
              (postgresql-service)
              (filter
               (lambda (x)
                 (not (eq?
                       (service-kind x)
                       (@@ (gnu services networking) wicd-service-type))))
                      %desktop-services)))

That allowed me to log-in using ssh and investigate the

    `Oh no!  Something has gone wrong'

In /var/log/messages, it says

    Feb 29 23:00:10 localhost gnome-session-binary[582]: WARNING: software acceleration check failed: Child process exited with code 1 

Although it is marked as a warning, this is probably the cause that
gnome session login fails.  I patched

    *-gnome-session-3.18.1.2/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop

to use

    Exec=gnome-session --disable-acceleration-check

but this seems to have no effect.  How is gnome-session started
in guix, what file should be patched?  Ideas?
