unbound variable in attempt to install cinnamon-desktop

Hi,

1.
I wanted to install cinnamon-desktop
but sudo guix system config /etc/config.scm
says:

not bound variable

So I have to add some in my config.scm.

but what?
-------------------------------------------------------------
  (services
     (append
       (list (service mate-desktop-service-type)
             (service enlightenment-desktop-service-type)
             (service cinnamon-desktop-service-type)
-------------------------------------------------------------

2.
I can’t install "lightdm" because of conflicting packages,
because I can’t update beforehand
my default profile with guix package -u

So everything is blocked at the moment.



Kind regards

Gottfried

Which variable is not bound?

The error is indicative of a missing module,
but without knowing which variable is unbound,
I can not tell anything more.

Perfect.

You need to include the module implementing the Cinnamon desktop /service/.
It does not appear to be defined anywhere in GUIX.

Did you add a channel with a Cinnamon service
or just assumed it exists in GUIX?

I don’t know what to add, becaus for the MATE desktop there seems to me
is only one line..........
So I guessed that for cinnamon desktop there is also only one line to add.

I don’t know what I have to add in order to get the cinnamon desktop 
available.

Hi,

This is written in the manual

----------------------------------------------------------------

Because the GNOME, Xfce and MATE desktop services pull in so many 
packages, the default %desktop-services variable doesn’t include any of 
them by default. To add GNOME, Xfce or MATE, just cons them onto 
%desktop-services in the services field of your operating-system:

(use-modules (gnu))
(use-service-modules desktop)
(operating-system
   ...
   ;; cons* adds items to the list given as its last argument.
   (services (cons* (service gnome-desktop-service-type)
                    (service xfce-desktop-service)
                    %desktop-services))
   ...)

These desktop environments will then be available as options in the 
graphical login window.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

but my config.scm looks differently concerning MATE desktop.


  (services
     (append
       (list (service mate-desktop-service-type)
             (service enlightenment-desktop-service-type)
             (service cinnamon-desktop-service-type)
                         (service cups-service-type
                                 (cups-configuration
                                         (web-interface? #t)
                                         (extensions (list cups-filters 
hplip))))         >
                         (service openssh-service-type)
             (service tor-service-type)
             (set-xorg-configuration
               (xorg-configuration
                (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))
             (service libvirt-service-type
                      (libvirt-configuration
                       (unix-sock-group "libvirt")
                       (tls-port "16555")))
             (service virtlog-service-type
                      (virtlog-configuration
                       (max-clients 1000))))

        (modify-services %desktop-services
          (guix-service-type
                 config => (guix-configuration
                   (inherit config)
                   (extra-options (list "--gc-keep-derivations=yes" 
"--gc-keep-outputs=yes>
          (sane-service-type _ => sane-backends))))

------------------------------------------------------------------------
that’s why I simply added one line for the cinnamon-desktop
hoping it will work.
But it doesn’t work.

Kind regards

Gottfried
