Did you try to log in from a terminal in text mode? (like Ctrl+Alt+F1).

If it works, the problem might be solved by the addition to your .profile
that is described on https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/gnu-guix-package-manager.
I copy it here but my email client is certainly breaking lines;

cat >> ~/.profile << EOF
export
XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share:/usr/share/\${XDG_DATA_DIRS:+:}\$XDG_DATA_DI
RS"
EOF
