Hmm...that's odd. %desktop-services contains both the gdm-service and the elogind-service, which should bring X along for the ride. It sounds like something in your configuration is preventing these services from presenting you with a graphical login screen. Could you share your operating-system declaration? Have you set up any custom X configuration files somewhere that might be interfering with the X launching process? Is your graphics card supported with Guix and the X server? Perhaps someone else on the list might have some other ideas?
