Thank you for this suggestion.
I added this to services in my system configuration:
```
(service special-files-service-type
`(("/sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink"
"/home/user/no-blink"))
```
The contents of `home/user/no-blink` is "0".
When I run a system reconfiguration I get this error "guix system:
error: symlink: Operation not permitted:
"sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink.new".
Any ideas on how to overcome this error?
The contents of `/sys/class/graphics/fbcon/cursor_blink` is reset to "1"
every time the computer is turned on and the cursor is blinking. I
would like to get a service working that sets it to "0" so that I do not
need to manually change this setting every time I boot the computer.
