Hi Ian, My file "/etc/hosts" correspond to what you have written.
The `guix shell' command you have written didn't work on my VM. I these messages at the end: Guix-test has address 192.168.122.228 ;; communication error to 192.168.122.1#53: timed out ;; communication error to 192.168.122.1#53: timed out ;; no servers could be reached Then, I get my prompt back and the environment variable "GUIX_ENVIRONMENT" is not defined. So, I guess I am not inside the shell and it failed to be created.
