For installatio= n (network-manager-openvpn), I put "guix install network-manager-openvpn" t= hen "guix pull" and then "sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm" to = complete the installation, but the package Not installed! That is the correct way to install a package into your default user profile. If you want to install a system service, however, that needs to be declared= in /etc/config.scm instead. In this case, the operating-system's network-manager-service-type has a record containing a field VPN-PLUGINS which should list the packages you want as VPN plugins. The default is the empty list. If your "services" field in operating-system in /etc/config.scm has %desktop-services (which is likely), then you need to replace the text %desktop-services by (modify-services %desktop-services (network-manager-type config =3D> (network-manager-configuration (inherit config) (vpn-plugins (list network-manager-openvpn))))) after you added (use-package-modules gnome) at the top of /etc/config.scm . After that, invoke sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm . I checked and saw that this is documented in our info manual. However, long term it would be better if the system installer or a system configurer could do that via a text or graphical user interface. --Sig_/y1TA8FYB3Qg8h2amlxT+bB5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEds7GsXJ0tGXALbPZ5xo1VCwwuqUFAl+irlcACgkQ5xo1VCww uqWeYwf/amo3TVa3HmiqDkrKHiKSJy4+ign5sh8ZT6czOuRFtxSls/y9bU3jF12P lFOH74G+2GI0Q0fKL4spiMNQmx7CjzbO0MibzoRDvpjmtNDIrgG2CiQDsUfwlN8O gTJWt9G9D1zsJjSEdeYVRs34tuBHNDNbWIYVvLny3+fXZVg9Ej63r5lo0ERnOhSP mCHsF1ra9vpQR21yNv8oXPRv7c80t+lYqBq/wy38FgTkh1zenDsL84EjFDZ8NQEt Zk1FKyDiu1nXSEXCYAo3/x+YtR3FZp5x079IVWW+lsEcgxIL2lctfB4K3mzFXyxh DKx8gEu6XF0inZlQbEE6LyKEAWnd0g== =mqqc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/y1TA8FYB3Qg8h2amlxT+bB5--
