The (gnu services desktop) module provides services that are usually
useful in the context of a “desktop” setup—that is, on a machine running
a graphical display server, possibly with graphical user interfaces, etc.
It also defines services that provide specific desktop environments like
GNOME, Xfce or MATE.
To simplify things, the module defines a variable containing the set of services that users typically expect on a machine with a graphical environment and networking:
This is a list of services that builds upon %base-services and adds
or adjusts services for a typical “desktop” setup.
In particular, it adds a graphical login manager (see gdm-service-type), screen lockers, a network management tool
(see network-manager-service-type) with
modem support (see modem-manager-service-type), energy and color management services,
the elogind login and seat manager, the Polkit privilege service, the
GeoClue location service, the AccountsService daemon that allows authorized
users change system passwords, a NTP client (see Сервисы сети)
and the Avahi daemon.
The %desktop-services variable can be used as the services
field of an operating-system declaration (see services).
Additionally, the following procedures add one (or more!) desktop environments to a system.
gnome-desktop-service-type adds GNOME,
plasma-desktop-service-type adds KDE Plasma,
enlightenment-desktop-service-type adds Enlightenment,
lxqt-desktop-service-type adds LXQt,
mate-desktop-service-type adds MATE, and
xfce-desktop-service adds Xfce.
These service types add “metapackages” such as gnome or
plasma to the system profile, but most of them also set up other
useful services that mere packages can’t do.
For example, they may elevate privileges on a limited number of special-purpose system interfaces and programs. This allows backlight adjustment helpers, power management utilities, screen lockers, and other integrated functionality to work as expected.
The desktop environments in Guix use the Xorg display server by default. If
you’d like to use the newer display server protocol called Wayland, you need
to enable Wayland support in GDM (see wayland-gdm). Another solution is
to use the sddm-service instead of GDM as the graphical login
manager. You should then select the “GNOME (Wayland)” session in SDDM.
Alternatively you can also try starting GNOME on Wayland manually from a TTY
with the command “XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland exec dbus-run-session
gnome-session“. Currently only GNOME has support for Wayland.
This is the type of the service that adds the GNOME desktop environment. Its value is a
gnome-desktop-configuration object (see below).
This service adds the gnome package to the system profile, and
extends polkit with the actions from gnome-settings-daemon.

gnome-desktop-configuration fields are:
core-services (type: list-of-packages)A list of packages that the GNOME Shell and applications may rely on.
shell (type: list-of-packages)A list of packages that constitute the GNOME Shell, without applications.
utilities (type: list-of-packages)A list of packages that serve as applications to use on top of the GNOME Shell.
gnome (type: maybe-package)This field used to be the only configuration point and specified a GNOME meta-package to install system-wide. Since the meta-package itself provides neither sources nor the actual packages and is only used to propagate them, this field is deprecated.
extra-packages (type: list-of-packages)A list of GNOME-adjacent packages to also include. This field is intended for users to add their own packages to their GNOME experience. Note, that it already includes some packages that are considered essential by some (most?) GNOME users.
udev-ignorelist (default: ()) (type: list-of-strings)A list of regular expressions denoting udev rules or hardware file names provided by any package that should not be installed. By default, every udev rule and hardware file specified by any package referenced in the other fields are installed.
polkit-ignorelist (default: ()) (type: list-of-strings)A list of regular expressions denoting polkit rules provided by any package that should not be installed. By default, every polkit rule added by any package referenced in the other fields are installed.
This is the type of the service that adds the
Plasma desktop environment. Its
value is a plasma-desktop-configuration object (see below).
This service adds the plasma package to the system profile.
Configuration record for the Plasma desktop environment.
plasma (default: plasma)The Plasma package to use.
This is the type of a service to run the https://xfce.org/
desktop environment. Its value is an xfce-desktop-configuration
object (see below).
This service adds the xfce package to the system profile, and extends
polkit with the ability for thunar to manipulate the file system as
root from within a user session, after the user has authenticated with the
administrator’s password.
Note that xfce4-panel and its plugin packages should be installed in
the same profile to ensure compatibility. When using this service, you
should add extra plugins (xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin,
xfce4-weather-plugin, etc.) to the packages field of your
operating-system.
Configuration record for the Xfce desktop environment.
speed (default: 1.0)The Xfce package to use.
This is the type of the service that runs the
MATE desktop environment. Its value is a
mate-desktop-configuration object (see below).
This service adds the mate package to the system profile, and extends
polkit with the actions from mate-settings-daemon.
Configuration record for the MATE desktop environment.
port (default: 22)The MATE package to use.

access libraries installed as dependencies of Sugar activities.
activities (default: (list sugar-help-activity))A list of Sugar activities to install.
The following example configures the Sugar desktop environment with a number of useful activities:
(use-modules (gnu)) (use-package-modules sugar) (use-service-modules desktop) (operating-system ... (services (cons* (service sugar-desktop-service-type (sugar-desktop-configuration (activities (list sugar-browse-activity sugar-help-activity sugar-jukebox-activity sugar-typing-turtle-activity)))) %desktop-services)) ...)
Return a service that adds the enlightenment package to the system
profile, and extends dbus with actions from efl.
features (default: '())The enlightenment package to use.
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.
The actual service definitions included in %desktop-services and
provided by (gnu services dbus) and (gnu services desktop) are
described below.

For example, an ordinary user can be granted the capability to suspend the system if the user is logged in locally.
The value for this service is a <polkit-configuration> object.
Service that adds the wheel group as admins to the Polkit service.
This makes it so that users in the wheel group are queried for their
own passwords when performing administrative actions instead of
root’s, similar to the behaviour used by sudo.

Type for the service that runs
UDisks, a disk
management daemon that provides user interfaces with notifications and ways
to mount/unmount disks. Programs that talk to UDisks include the
udisksctl command, part of UDisks, and GNOME Disks. Note that
Udisks relies on the mount command, so it will only be able to use
the file-system utilities installed in the system profile. For example if
you want to be able to mount NTFS file-systems in read and write fashion,
you’ll need to have ntfs-3g installed system-wide.
The value for this service is a <udisks-configuration> object.

supports many recent scanners.
This package includes support for all scanners that
sane-backends-minimal supports, plus older Hewlett-Packard scanners
supported by hplip package. In order to use this on a system which
relies on %desktop-services, you may use modify-services
(see modify-services) as illustrated below:
(use-modules (gnu)) (use-service-modules … desktop) (use-package-modules … scanner) (define %my-desktop-services ;; List of desktop services that supports a broader range of scanners. (modify-services %desktop-services (sane-service-type _ => sane-backends))) (operating-system … (services %my-desktop-services))

This is the type of the service that adds the
GNOME Keyring. Its
value is a gnome-keyring-configuration object (see below).
This service adds the gnome-keyring package to the system profile and

and “passwd” is with the value passwd.
seatd is a minimal seat management daemon.
Seat management takes care of mediating access to shared devices (graphics, input), without requiring the applications needing access to be root.
(append
(list
;; make sure seatd is running
(service seatd-service-type))
;; normally one would want %base-services
%base-services)
seatd operates over a UNIX domain socket, with libseat
providing the client side of the protocol. Applications that acquire access
to the shared resources via seatd (e.g. sway) need to be able
to talk to this socket. This can be achieved by adding the user they run
under to the group owning seatd’s socket (usually “seat”), like so:
(user-account
(name "alice")
(group "users")
(supplementary-groups '("wheel" ; allow use of sudo, etc.
"seat" ; seat management
"audio" ; sound card
"video" ; video devices such as webcams
"cdrom")) ; the good ol' CD-ROM
(comment "Bob's sister"))
Depending on your setup, you will have to not only add regular users, but also system users to this group. For instance, some greetd greeters require graphics and therefore also need to negotiate with seatd.
Configuration record for the seatd daemon service.
seatd (default: seatd)The seatd package to use.
group (default: ‘"seat"’)Group to own the seatd socket.
socket (default: ‘"/run/seatd.sock"’)Where to create the seatd socket.
logfile (default: ‘"/var/log/seatd.log"’)Log file to write to.
