Hi,
thanks for help

I added this line in my config.scm
---------------------------------------
(use-modules (gnu))
(use-modules (gnu services lightdm))
(use-package-modules cups scanner)
(use-service-modules cups desktop networking ssh xorg virtualization)

--------------------------------------

after running sudo guix system reconvigure....
it says:

mistake: the service "xorg-server" appears more than one time.

--------------------------------------------------

because gdm is also installed.

So can I have both installed?


kind regards

Gottfried
