* Should %base-services be included by default in the OS configuration generated by the installer?

Hi,

The Guix System 1.0.0 installer has a bug that makes it generate operating system configuration files that don't include the %base-packages (https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=35541). The configuration file of the system I installed was initially generated by the installer, so I had to add the base packages by hand. Now, I'm reading the Services section in the manual and I see that there is a %base-services variable. My configuration file does not include this. Should one expect the configuration file generated by the installer to include these services too?

Thanks,

Does your configuration have “%desktop-services” instead?  The
“%desktop-services” list includes everything from “%base-services”.

Yes, %desktop-services is there. So I guess it's fine.

I still have no working CD/DVD (https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=35584) and bluetooth, so I thought maybe not having “%base-services” had something to do with that.

Thanks for your help :)
