I'm trying to install guix on my laptop(finally got the thinkpenguin wifi
card), after reading through the manual, I have everything setup, except
there are a couple bumps on the road.
One of the things is that during system initialization, the (gnu system
networking) module returns an error which reads "guix system: error: failed
to load operating system file '/mnt/etc/config.scm': (misc-error #f "~A ~S"
("no code for module" (gnu system networking)) #f)
and that kind of makes things really annoying to manually restart
networking every reboot.
Another thing is that is sort of a problem is during a windowmaker X
session, all my graphical applications(xterm, icecat, etc), are not listed
in the application menu and are not runnable, and I would think it has
something to do with user permissions, but an X session in root also
doesn't let me run them.
The last thing is that I have not found any meta-packages, which allow me
to install multiple packages that are needed for the same program, like for
instance, there is gcc, make, cmake, and all the bread-and-butter build
programs, but you have to name each in the "guix package -i *" declaration
to install, but if there was some metapackage, like buildessential (I come
from Debian).
That last peeve is really just a missing feature, I do understand that it
will take some time to implement and I'm not really demanding it, just
extremely recommending it. But the first 2 are definitely problems that I
really hope someone could help me with.

Are you sure you included a proper module(s)?
(use-modules (gnu)
(gnu services ssh)
(gnu services networking)
(gnu services xorg)
)
(btw use guix system reconfigure /config.scm if you have already installed
system)

This I experince too. In my opinion the reason is, that applications are
installed per user and the path to them is just in your ~/.guix-profile/.
I am not sure how WM searches for them, but definitely not in
~/.guix-profile, but I am not sure about this.

In the manual
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Networking-Services it
says The (gnu system networking) module provides services to configure the
network interface. Not (gnu services networking), I'll try that one though.

I am not sure how WM searches for them, but definitely not in
~/.guix-profile, but I am not sure about this.
There must be a way around this since it probably searches in /bin and
/usr/bin, but their is a way to go around it if you could add the path
/gnu/store/*xterm(or whatever*/bin/xterm(or whatever

There’s a typo in the 0.8 manual (which was fixed in fa1e31b8): it
should read (gnu services networking).

I think this is the same problem as <http://bugs.gnu.org/19119>, which
was fixed a while back.
This suggests that it’s high time for a release. ;-)

Right. There’s one such meta-package, which is ‘gcc-toolchain’.
Perhaps more are needed.
OTOH, ‘guix environment’ can really do “meta-packages on demand”, so to
speak, so I wonder whether things like ‘build-essential’ make so much
sense in that context.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

However, because 'guix environment' doesn't manipulate a user's
profile, I think that it would still be very useful to create these
meta-packages. For this specific case, yes, 'guix environment' can be
used to fetch the necessary GCC toolchain to develop something, but
what about non-development packages? It would be very convenient to
be able to run 'guix package -i xfce-desktop', for example.
My 2 cents.

I don't think there where any big features added that are worthy of a 0.9
release yet. Its just a couple package updates, bug fixes, and a couple
feature additions. I think a 0.8.1 would be adequate.

Is there any way to fix this problem for the time being without having to
wait for a release?

Ah yes, good point.
I think we discussed Xfce specifically before, but I’m not sure why it
hasn’t landed. 宋文武? :-)
So in general I agree it’s a good idea, and it’s easily done with
‘union-build’, so if people know of useful meta-packages, please
send a patch.
Thanks,
Ludo’.

Why not an empty package with only propagated inputs?

Thanks very much for that. But I still can't pass a (dhcp-client-service)
in the services declaration, without getting an error that I wasn't passing
enough arguments with that statement.

It would be equivalent if it worked, but it doesn’t. :-)
Currently a package has to produce something.

The reason it fails when you add 'dhcp-client-service' isn't because
there's a problem with that procedure, but because 'cons' only takes two
arguments and forms a pair, and you are passing three. Use 'cons*'
instead.
(services (cons* (slim-service)
(dhcp-client-service)
%base-services))
Hope this helps!

Doesn’t allow you to use Python? Could you copy/paste the actual
session so we have a shared understanding of what’s happening?
Thanks in advance,

Right. Alternately, you can install ‘python-wrapper’, which provides a
‘python’ command for Python 3.
