thanks for trying. I did that, I get to the login, and then I get a mouse and a black screen after the login still. I basically did (more or less):
before
(services
(append (list (service xfce-desktop-service-type)
;; To configure OpenSSH, pass an 'openssh-configuration'
;; record as a second argument to'service' below.
(service openssh-service-type)
(set-xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))))
;; This is the default list of services we
;; are appending to.
%desktop-services))
after
(services
(append (list (service lxqt-desktop-service-type)
;; To configure OpenSSH, pass an 'openssh-configuration'
;; record as a second argument to'service' below.
(service openssh-service-type)
(set-xorg-configuration
(xorg-configuration (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout))))
;; This is the default list of services we
;; are appending to.
(modify-services %desktop-services
(gdm-service-type config =>
(gdm-configuration
(inherit config)
(wayland? #f)
)
)
)
))
Hmm, that does look correct and if it reconfigured without errors it’s probably alright. Another thing you could try is run ls /var/log and see if there’s an entry for gdm. If there is you could cat the log file and see what it says
Hmm, i don’t know if the qxl error is the cause of this, but i’m pretty sure that’s related to the video settings for your VM. Maybe you could try one of the other options like virtio to see if that works?
