2024-06-26services: guix: Default `channels' field to #f....In the absence of the /etc/guix/channels.scm file, %default-channels is used anyway. If user manually (or by extra-special-file) created the file, we should respect it. This commit therefore changes the default to #f, hopefully having zero impact on people not actively using the `channels' field. * gnu/services/base.scm (<guix-configuration>)[channels]: Set default to #f.

2024-06-26services: web: Improve nginx formatting for extra-content....When extra-content is a list, add 4 space indentation and a newline to every line.

2024-05-30services: xorg: Add xorg-start-command-xinit procedure....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.
