Your manual entry for it seems to suggest that: (service fprintd-service-type) is the correct incantation, and yet when I try to build a system with this service, I see: guix system: error: /home/mhw/test-os-config.scm:77:19: no value specified for service of type 'fprintd' Tobias reported seeing the same error, as well as a user on help-guix@gnu.org who we're trying to help. I tried adding: (default-value (fprintd-configuration)) to the 'fprintd-service-type' definition, but then I get this: guix system: error: #< ntp: #>: invalid G-expression input and it looks like the 'ntp' field of 'fprintd-configuration' is probably misnamed. Did you test this service before pushing it to master? Does it work for you? Thanks, Mark
