I installed networkmanager in my Xfce Desktop Environment, but it did
not allow to add new connections. A message was "Insufficient
privileges". After some googling I got to conclusion that the polkit
service is needed to fix it. Now I am trying to add the polkit-service
in the way I have seen at some config.scm examples from Google but an
error "guix system: error: more than one target service of type
'polkit'" is appearing.
I am a total newbe and I do not understand it. Help me please. Here

I think polkit-service is already included in %desktop-services, hence
the error.
I'm not totally fluent with Guix services so I might be wrong
but here is my understanding:
(polkit-service) just starts polkit. If you want to add polkit rules,
you therefore need to extend it (in the Shepherd way) by giving it a
list of packages including those polkit rules. There quite a few
examples in /gnu/services/desktop.scm. The manual might also help to
understand syntax and how services work.
But here is what I do to get ad-hoc polkit rules in my config:
(services
(cons*
;; I manually declare a littles service that extends polkit
(service (service-type
(name 'ad-hoc-polkit)
;; The interesting part: Extending the polkit service
(extensions
(list (service-extension
polkit-service-type
(const (list
;; Here is where you put the packages
gvfs
xfce-package-with-pokit-rules
)))))))
%desktop-services))
I don't know which xfce package provides the polkit rules you need but
if it's really the problem, adding it to the packages list should do the
trick.
Have a nice day,
Lprndn

What application do you use to manage NetworkManager connectivity? (The
‘network-manager’ package provides core ‘network-manager’, but on GNOME
for instance the graphical application is ‘network-manager-applet’.)

As a side note, I would recommend keeping application in your user
profile rather than globally installed. That provides more flexibility.
Thanks,

I use 'network-manager-applet'. My recent config.sch (which did not
fix the privileges issue) is this:
(use-modules (gnu) (gnu system nss))
(use-service-modules desktop xorg ssh)
(use-package-modules certs gnome ssh)
(operating-system
(host-name "antelope")
(timezone "Europe/Paris")
(locale "en_US.utf8")
(keyboard-layout (keyboard-layout "us" "altgr-intl"))
(bootloader (bootloader-configuration
(bootloader grub-bootloader)
(target "/dev/sda")
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))
(file-systems (append
(list (file-system
(device (file-system-label "guixsd"))
(mount-point "/")
(type "ext4"))(file-system
(device (file-system-label "debianek"))
(mount-point "/home/s/.local/debianek")
(type "ext4")))
%base-file-systems))
(users (cons (user-account
(name "me")
(comment "me")
(group "users")
(supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev"
"audio" "video")))
%base-user-accounts))
(packages (append (list
nss-certs
openssh
network-manager-applet
gvfs)
%base-packages))
(services (append (list (service gnome-desktop-service-type)
(service xfce-desktop-service-type)
(set-xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))))
%desktop-services))
(name-service-switch %mdns-host-lookup-nss))

To achieve it I should process an 'guix reconfigure' command as a
local user with a special config.sch?
