Re: Getting Guix to shutdown my laptop properly with Sway and no DE

["Etienne B. Roesch" <etienne.roesch@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I think I have been having the same problem for a while, using standalone
guix system on a desktop. It seems to sort itself out after a pull and
system reconfigure, but then it breaks again: The countdown does not start
and hangs. I have to hard stop the desktop, which is fine but not exactly
what should be happening.
