Hello Guix!
After fifteen months of hacking since our last post on the Hurd, we now
present the 64-bit Hurd on Guix. Read all about it in this new post:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2026/the-64-bit-hurd
Congrats to you and everyone involved! This is great to read/see coming
to fruition.
Thanks! Yes, I'm really hoping we can slowly gain some more traction
with this step.
Certainly. But I'm stumbling on the most basic steps it seems. More
context below.
At the moment I'm stuck because I don't know the password to login to
the childhurd.
Could you please help me log into my childhurd?
Thanks,
Hugo
Extra context:
The instructions on how to use the Hurd seem kinda scattered throughout
the post; with part of it in an animated gif that I don't know how to pause.
Here is my summary of what I did (also for reference).
Successful steps:
./pre-inst-env guix system image --image-type=hurd64-qcow2 \
gnu/system/examples/bare-hurd64.tmpl
(use-service-modules virtualization)
[..]
(service hurd-vm-service-type
(hurd-vm-configuration
(type 'hurd64-qcow2)))
sudo herd start childhurd
Failed step:
ssh -p 10022 root@localhost
root@localhost's password:
because I don't know the password, and don't know how to setup
authorized keys in the VMV.
