Hello! I have been running `guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm` before, and it finished after 1 or 2 hours. Now it is working more than 6 hours on Lenovo G50-30. It compiles everything http://0x0.st/sxda.png http://0x0.st/sxnm.png even icecat http://0x0.st/sx51.png I want it uses binaries, do not need to compile sources. Cannot understand, why adding (packages (cons* icecat)) produces compilation process of icecat? Please, what is wrong? My current /etc/config.scm is this: # cat /etc/config.scm ;; This is an operating system configuration template ;; for a "desktop" setup with GNOME and Xfce where the ;; root partition is encrypted with LUKS. (use-modules (gnu) (gnu system nss) (gnu packages lxde) (gnu packages gnuzilla) (gnu packages image-viewers) (gnu packages curl) (gnu packages wget) (gnu packages compression) ) (use-service-modules desktop) (use-package-modules certs gnome) (operating-system (host-name "antelope") (timezone "Europe/Moscow") (locale "en_US.utf8") ;; Use the UEFI variant of GRUB with the EFI System ;; Partition mounted on /boot/efi. (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (target "/dev/sda"))) (file-systems (cons (file-system (device "/dev/sda1") (mount-point "/") (type "ext4") ) %base-file-systems)) (swap-devices '("/dev/sda2")) (users (cons* (user-account (name "bob") (comment "bob is good too") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev" "audio" "video")) (home-directory "/home/bob")) %base-user-accounts)) ;; This is where we specify system-wide packages. (packages (cons* nss-certs ;for HTTPS access gvfs ;for user mounts lxde lxde-common lxde-icon-theme lxpanel lxmenu-data lxinput lxsession pcmanfm gedit file-roller evince gpicview icecat curl wget unzip %base-packages)) ;; Add GNOME and/or Xfce---we can choose at the log-in ;; screen with F1. Use the "desktop" services, which ;; include the X11 log-in service, networking with ;; NetworkManager, and more. (services (cons* (xfce-desktop-service) %desktop-services)) ;; Allow resolution of '.local' host names with mDNS. (name-service-switch %mdns-host-lookup-nss)) And my old config was this: # cat /root/config.scm ;; This is an operating system configuration template ;; for a "desktop" setup with GNOME and Xfce where the ;; root partition is encrypted with LUKS. (use-modules (gnu) (gnu system nss)) (use-service-modules desktop) (use-package-modules certs gnome) (operating-system (host-name "antelope") (timezone "Europe/Moscow") (locale "en_US.utf8") ;; Use the UEFI variant of GRUB with the EFI System ;; Partition mounted on /boot/efi. (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-bootloader) (target "/dev/sda"))) (file-systems (cons (file-system (device "/dev/sda1") (mount-point "/") (type "ext4") ) %base-file-systems)) (swap-devices '("/dev/sda2")) (users (cons* (user-account (name "bob") (comment "bob is good too") (group "users") (supplementary-groups '("wheel" "netdev" "audio" "video")) (home-directory "/home/bob")) %base-user-accounts)) ;; This is where we specify system-wide packages. (packages (cons* nss-certs ;for HTTPS access gvfs ;for user mounts %base-packages)) ;; Add GNOME and/or Xfce---we can choose at the log-in ;; screen with F1.

(services (cons* (xfce-desktop-service) %desktop-services)) ;; Allow resolution of '.local' host names with mDNS. (name-service-switch %mdns-host-lookup-nss)) Why new config takes so much time? And after new system reconfiguration I have KDE and Gnome. But I need only LXDE and Xfce.
