Hi,

I took a look at your file and it looks like you are using an old
version of Guix. The 'asd-system-name' parameter no longer exists and
has been replaced by the 'asd-systems' parameter several months ago.
At which commit is your Guix? (you can get it with the "guix describe"
command).

I made a few modifications to your file (in attachment) to make it work
with a more recent Guix, but Tinmop crashed when I tried to start it,
with the following error:

Is there some extra configuration required to start the program
correctly?
