Original config from a documentation causes an error with keyboard-layout function

Original config from a documentation causes an error with keyboard-layout function

[Adam Mazurkiewicz]

I am a newbie and I am learning installing Guixsd step by step. I have
surprised that using a config file from a documentation generates the
error. Actually I am not sure if I am doing mistakes or the documentation
is wrong. I used the config file from a site:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Using-the-Configuration-System.html#Using-the-Configuration-System

The config file I used was this

----config.scm-----
(use-modules (gnu) (gnu system nss))
(use-service-modules desktop xorg)
(use-package-modules certs gnome)

(operating-system
  (host-name "antelope")
  (timezone "Europe/Paris")
  (locale "en_US.utf8")

  ;; Choose US English keyboard layout.  The "altgr-intl"
  ;; variant provides dead keys for accented characters.
  (keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "us" "altgr-intl"))

  ;; Use the UEFI variant of GRUB with the EFI System
  ;; Partition mounted on /boot/efi.
  (bootloader (bootloader-configuration
                (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
                (target "/boot/efi")
                (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))

  ;; Specify a mapped device for the encrypted root partition.
  ;; The UUID is that returned by 'cryptsetup luksUUID'.
  (mapped-devices
   (list (mapped-device
          (source (uuid "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc"))
          (target "my-root")
          (type luks-device-mapping))))

  (file-systems (append
                 (list (file-system
                         (device (file-system-label "my-root"))
                         (mount-point "/")
                         (type "ext4")
                         (dependencies mapped-devices))
                       (file-system
                         (device (uuid "1234-ABCD" 'fat))
                         (mount-point "/boot/efi")
                         (type "vfat")))
                 %base-file-systems))

  (users (cons (user-account
                (name "bob")
                (comment "Alice's brother")
                (group "users")
                (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev"
                                        "audio" "video")))
               %base-user-accounts))

  ;; This is where we specify system-wide packages.
  (packages (append (list

                     ;; for user mounts
                     gvfs)
                    %base-packages))

                          (service xfce-desktop-service-type)
                          (set-xorg-configuration
                           (xorg-configuration
                            (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))))
                    %desktop-services))

  ;; Allow resolution of '.local' host names with mDNS.
  (name-service-switch %mdns-host-lookup-nss))
----config.scm---end--

Using this file caused the error:
/root/sda6/home/s/Dropbox/Guix/scm1/config.scm:5:0: error: extraneous field
initializers (keyboard-layout)

So it is something wrong with the keyboard-layout function. The function is
used a few times so we do not know which one actually causes the error.

Is this the documentation mistake or I am doing something wrong? How to use
the function keyboard-layout properly?

Could you add the output of "guix describe"?
How did you install guix?

I processed the installation try from usb flash stick. First I formatted a
target partition for the new Guixsd instance with ext4 and labeled it
guixsd. Then I did that follows and put 'guix describe':

Nothing wrong with the function but with the field of that name.
The field was added only recently, so you need to use a recent version
of Guix for this to work.

What version do you use?  Have you run “guix pull” yet?

This is installing from usb flash stick, not reconfiguring, so I cannot use
"guix pull". The version I use is this: "
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz".
It is the latest one, I guess.

Hi Adam,

Most likely this means that the ‘guix’ command is outdated.

To fix that, run:

  guix pull
  hash guix
  guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm

Which installation image are you using?  The ‘guix’ in the official
installation image 1.0 is definitely up-to-date.

I use the latest version (1.0) of Guixsd so it is strange that the
'guix' command can be outdated.

These commands helped. Thanks
