Hello Guix!

I tried installing the package "Transmission". It is not showing up in
GNOME Menu. Typing "transmission" on terminal also not starting the
application. But I can see the package installed in my user profile.

Regards,
RG.

The problem here is that the transmission package has two outputs: out
and gui. These are kind of like subpackages. You need the gui one. And
out is the default so transmission means basically transmission:out :)

$ guix package --show=transmission
name: transmission
version: 2.94
outputs: out gui
[...]

In order to install the UI client of transmission, you only need to use:
$ guix package --install=transmission:gui

Then transmission should appear in the GNOME menu or at least as
transmission-gtk in your terminal.

Transmission's GTK GUI interface is in a separate package output 
(to keep the main output from depending on GTK+, which is quite 
huge).  Install ‘transmission:gui’ and you'll be happy.

The :gui output also provides a .desktop file that should make 
things like GNOME add it to their launcher.

The command is ‘transmission-gtk’; ‘transmission’ doesn't exist.

Kind regards,

T G-R

Did you choose the right output? Most packages only have a single output, but
transmission has 2: "out" and "gui".

For example to install the gui output you would run:
guix package -i transmission:gui

The gui output is the one that might add your GNOME Menu entries as it comes
with the GTK version of transmission. The normal "out" output is the CLI version
only.
This confused me the first time I used guix too, before I was aware of outputs.

Oh wow! That's new xD. I just installed as "transmission" with no output tag. What would have been the output? It neither was cli nor gui.

It installs the “transmission-daemon” binary, which is a daemon that
other applications can talk to in order manage your torrents.  One
example of a client is “transmission-gtk”, which is a GTK+ interface,
but there is also “tremc” which is console-based.  The daemon itself
provides a Web interface, too, so if you run the daemon and point your
Web browser at “http://localhost:9091”, it should give you an overview
of your torrents.

Thanks! How can I see the list of services under %desktop-services? I would like to see in the form of scheme. Thanks!

Taking a look at the synopsis and description I found:

synopsis: Fast and easy BitTorrent client
description: Transmission is a BitTorrent client that comes with
graphical, textual, and Web user interfaces.  Transmission also has a
+ daemon for unattended operations.  It supports local peer discovery,
full encryption, DHT, µTP, PEX and Magnet Links.

I think both should be improved to avoid confusion.
->
synopsis: Fast and easy BitTorrent daemon with multiple interfaces

description: Transmission is a BitTorrent client that comes with
graphical, textual, and Web user interfaces.  The default output
installs transmission-daemon, transmission-cli and the web interface at
http://localhost:9091.  It supports local peer discovery, full
encryption, DHT, µTP, PEX and Magnet Links.

WDYT?
