2024-06-02Revert "services: home: Use pairs instead of lists."Andrew Tropin
This reverts commit dbeef44f3c520816251bde74c1005915a637e1ef. Despite the more semantically correct data type, it doesn't follow the style of the most services and also breaks user-facing API. Change-Id: Ib4ef4e9cd2f53ac853a5b7c7c90e57c35c99a5ea

2024-05-30services: xorg: Add xorg-start-command-xinit procedure.Tomas Volf
When the user does not use any desktop environment, the typical sequence is to log in and then type `startx' into the tty to get a window manager running. Most distributions do provide a startx by default, but Guix has only an xorg-start-command that is not suitable for this. This commit adds a second procedure, xorg-start-command-xinit, that correctly picks a virtual terminal to use, sets up XAUTHORITY and starts xinit with the correct arguments. That should make running Guix without a desktop environment more approachable. * gnu/services/xorg.scm (xorg-start-command-xinit): New public procedure. * doc/guix.texi (X Window): Document it.

This commit allows for loading an OCI image tarball before running an OCI backed Shepherd service.
