It i= s based on =E2=80=9Cwip-gnome-upgrades=E2=80=9D, but upgrades our GNOME packages to ve= rsion 3.30. Unfortunately, I haven=E2=80=99t been able to figure out how to start a GNO= ME session with this version. I=E2=80=99m pretty sure it=E2=80=99s just a mat= ter of setting the correct environment variables so that all the required libraries and the DBus service files are found. My ~/.xsession file ends on gnome-session sleep 60 to avoid an annoying endless session reload. Note that the wayland backend is the new default. If you want a little less mystery at first, try setting XDG_SESSION_TYPE=3Dx11. I would very much appreciate any help you can provide in pushing this upgrade into a usable shape! Let=E2=80=99s meet in #guix and hack on this! -- Ricardo
