Yesterday I did: guix pull -p test-staging --branch=3Dstaging and then tested: ./test-staging/bin/guix system vm gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl with: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ ./test-staging/bin/guix describe Generacio 3 09 Apr 2019 17:19:31 (nuna) guix 0eb01ff URL du d=C3=A9p=C3=B4t : https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branche: staging commit : 0eb01ff5bbb69944c89d86b1612f5f057dede023 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Everything in the VM seems to work, as discussed on IRC. So this suggests that the problem may have to do with state kept somewhere in GSettings or who knows what. Could you share logs from /var/log/messages, /var/log/gdm/greeter.log, and anything that may be relevant? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
