Hi Alii

Have you set an environment variable corresponding to $GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH
for the guile interpreter to be able to find your package?

LXQt has recently been added to guix's master branch. Please run `guix
pull` to update your guix. And there is no need to copy lxqt.scm from
elsewhere.

Please note that LXQt in guix is still immature. lxqt-runner is buggy,
and lxqt-panel simply does not work. If you want to help with the
development, have a look at this previous thread:

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "install that from local
directory". You simply install lxqt as any other package.

- Run `guix pull` to update guix.
- Add lxqt to your config.scm.
- Run `guix system reconfigure config.scm`.

I suggest you to read the guix manual first if you have any question.
And please CC this mailing list when you reply email.

There is no need to define lxqt as a shepherd service. lxqt should be
started by a display manager, like SLiM or SDDM. If you include
%desktop-services in your config.scm, then you have slim installed by
default. Simply install lxqt and shoose lxqt from your login screen to
start lxqt.

Again. Please CC guix-devel@gnu.org when you reply email.
