Last month, Shepherd integration in Guix was fixed so that failure to load one service would not prevent the system from loading and starting other services: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/71144 Does the problem still manifest on a system reconfigured from a commit after cca25a67693bb68a1884a081b415a43fad1e8641? (See also for a recent example in that vein and how the change above addresses it.) HTH, Ludo=E2=80=99.
