I have succesfully installed guix in trisquel 9 (mate). 

I have installed some packages and everything is working as expected.

$ guix package --list-installed
dino           	0.2.1 	out	/gnu/store/nlprjzilka7i79fwwjbxxagwjzx5
6z4s-dino-0.2.1
fontconfig     	2.13.1	out	/gnu/store/k6zs6zabhfybh6aphc4988wc2fsy
k5hh-fontconfig-2.13.1
font-liberation	2.1.4 	out	/gnu/store/qw087yajzsq8mjvq3nkxr3grmp3k
zcja-font-liberation-2.1.4
font-dejavu    	2.37  	out	/gnu/store/7y3lvk3xf4im8n44337mc6y0ccys
vfia-font-dejavu-2.37
glibc-locales  	2.31  	out	/gnu/store/wnw0nwlyg92vv33f5f65jj1rd3p4
fi3c-glibc-locales-2.31

But when I install gnucash, or cawbird and reboot the system doesn't
autologin and stays at login screen. Inserting the password is just
getting me back to the login screen.

To log in back again I do guix package --roll-back and then reboot.

The only error I have after that is that my panel notification applet
crashes (reloading works fine).

Hi Nikos,

my apologies for the long delay.  You may have better luck on
help-guix@HIDDEN; bug-guix@HIDDEN is usually for bugs which can be
reproduced by others.

I don=E2=80=99t know what the problem is, but I suspect that trisquel is un=
happy
with environment variables that Guix has set.  Guix defines variables
based on the contents of your profile at ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile.
In your shell initialization you probably load them; e.g. with this
snippet in ~/.bash_profile:

    GUIX_PROFILE=3D$HOME/.guix-profile
    source $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile

When you comment this Guix will not set any variables, so it has no way
of affecting your environment at all.  Can you log in after removing
these lines?  (You can evaluate these lines after logging in.)

If so, we should try to figure out which of these variables is
responsible.  Could you please show the contents of that etc/profile
file?  A common suspect is one of the XDG_* variables.

Hope that helps!
