Hello, I will start out this email by saying I am aware that bug reports have moved to Codeberg. However, I do not seem to be able to make an account on it despite waiting a day for account confirmation so I am hoping that this email is perhaps still monitored.
As far as I can tell, there is currently no possible install path for the GNU Guix System (to clarify I am talking about the full operating system, not just the package manager), at least on my laptop. I spent the entire afternoon trying to install the operating system with no success and there are always some kind of errors. I have tried both the "Standard" and "Latest" ISOs. I am using a Lenovo X280 with 16 GB of RAM CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8350U (8) @ 3.60 GHz GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 @ 1.10 GHz [Integrated] I have tried both the Graphical install method and the install using the shell based process with both the Standard and Latest ISOs and sadly nothing is working. I have working ethernet so the issue is not missing wifi drivers. When using the graphical install, it just fails after a long time installing packages. In the graphical installer, the final system installation step fails after the package installation phase. One of the errors shown was: Command "guix" "system" "init" "--fallback" "/mnt/etc/config.scm" "/mnt" exited with value 1 I also saw this error: dynamic linker name not known for this system "x86_64-linux" In another failed attempt, I also saw: guix system: while setting up the child process: in phase mountIntoChroot: getting attributes of path '/gnu/store/...-grep-3.11': No such file or directory When using the command line method it just hangs here forever: shepherd: Service user-homes has been started. shepherd: Service guix-ownership has been started. shepherd: Service guix-daemon has been started For additional context, in the graphical installer I selected GNOME as the desktop environment, used UEFI with /boot/efi, and configured an encrypted root partition. I also tried it with no encryption which also didn't work. If it is helpful, I have photos of the installer screens and the exact error messages. It seems to be a big issue that a fresh installed of the operating system is not possible currently using either of the ISOs on the official website. Thank you in advance. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Steven O. Hansen
