Hi, it has been so long... I think the last config.scm I tried to use (some time ago) was:
"""
(use-modules (gnu)
(gnu packages cups)
(gnu packages scanner))
(use-service-modules desktop networking ssh xorg cups)
(operating-system

(timezone "America/Anchorage")
(keyboard-layout
(keyboard-layout "us" "altgr-intl"))
(bootloader
(bootloader-configuration
(bootloader grub-bootloader)
(target "/dev/sda")
(keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))
(mapped-devices
(list (mapped-device
(source
(uuid "e95c1dba-a729-4a99-a5fd-d756539e545e"))
(target "cryptroot")
(type luks-device-mapping))))
(file-systems
(cons* (file-system

(device "/dev/mapper/cryptroot")
(type "ext4")
(dependencies mapped-devices))

%base-user-accounts))

I had more or less given up on bothering to try to upgrade system until the next official guix release. That would be the ideal time for another test run of this, so I could update both system and all my user packages as well to the same target. Is there a rough idea of when the next official release is coming?

Christopher,
Thanks for the bug report, and sorry for the late response.

Under this guix commit, wpa_supplicant service fails to initialize,
which takes out networking also.

I suspect what happened is that you are using
wpa-supplicant-service-type, and also added 'wpa-supplicant' to the
(packages ...) field of your system configuration. The latter will
include a D-Bus policy file for "fi.w1.wpa_supplicant1", which
wpa-supplicant-service-type also tries to register.
As a workaround, you can set (dbus? #f) in wpa-supplicant-configuration,
or remove 'wpa-supplicant' from the system packages. If you want
wpa-supplicant installed globally, you can use 'wpa-supplicant-minimal'
instead.
Can you confirm?
Not sure how we can make this more robust. The easiest fix is probably
to default to (dbus? #f); the only program I know that use the D-Bus
interface is NetworkManager, which has its own service in Guix.
