Re: unbound variable in attempt to install cinnamon-desktop

[Gottfried]

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
