To use =E2=80=9Cguix sys= tem vm=E2=80=9D I had to disable tests in QEMU due to a failure. I did not investigate it. This turned up in the logs [1]: (.gnome-shell-real:317): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 03:50:44.482: Settings schema 'org.gnome.mutter' is not installed. It was followed by a warning that =E2=80=9Corg.gnome.Shell.desktop=E2=80=9D= was killed. This is the same message mentioned in the comment explaining disabled tests in the =E2=80=9Cmutter=E2=80=9D package. There=E2=80=99s a =E2=80=9Cglib-or-gtk?=E2=80=9D flag for the Meson build s= ystem. Setting it to =E2=80=9C#t=E2=80=9D in the =E2=80=9Cmutter=E2=80=9D package makes GDM and = GNOME work in a VM. It compiles the schemas and wraps Mutter so that it knows where they are. It does nothing for the tests, though. However, from the log of an older Mutter build [2], it looks like the tests were not being run correctly under Autotools anyway (it looks like not a single test is actually run). Hope that helps! -- Tim [1] It=E2=80=99s not obvious, but if you edit the GDM configuration file generation code in =E2=80=9Cgnu/services/xorg.scm=E2=80=9D, you can enable = debug output for GDM. The debug output is usually extremely helpful! [2] https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/q0gkbynj35qp522bi8sf98kzwrsyy037-mutter-3.3= 0.2
