That doesn’t sound great. How much (v)RAM does this (virtual) machine have? Thanks for testing and reporting back, Ludo’.

I tested again using the same method (clean install, same VM, etc) but with strace running this time a couple of days ago and it failed, but just now it passed. I'll test a couple of times again and let you know. Regards, Ahmad

Okay, can you share the result of `guix describe` to confirm what revision of Guix you're using? Can you use strace to see what it's doing when it's stuck? For example, you can `guix install strace` as root, and then run this (again, as root): `strace -f /proc/$(pgrep guix-daemon)/exe | tee log` You might compress the resulting log before emailing it: `xz log` > I tested this on a Pentium 4 32bits laptop with 786MB RAM at first, and > then switched to a VM with 8 GBs RAM, 2+ cores, 60GBs SSD to avoid any > resources issues. 786MB RAM is definitely not enough to use Guix currently, sorry. But 8GB RAM is more than enough. We do want to reduce the resource requirements but it's not a priority, since most people have at least 2GB. Help wanted! > Terminal log of one of the runs and config.scm attached. The log seems to contain a lot of extraneous information. Is the problem that it stops making progress while building '/gnu/store/00bgnqkqyf0k865gx4ps9fliysidxz61-guix-packages-base.drv'?
