Hello again,
Guix deploy errors message can be hard to understand, see the following
output for example:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix deploy -Lmodules systems/hystou-p04.scm
guix deploy: warning: failed to load '(config workstation)':
no code for module (gnu services lightdm)
The following 1 machine will be deployed:
abricot
guix deploy: deploying to abricot...
sending 0 store items (0 MiB) to '192.168.10.10'...
sending 0 store items (0 MiB) to '192.168.10.10'...
guix deploy: error: failed to deploy abricot: Wrong type argument in
position 1 (expecting struct): ~S
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
By using “guix repl“ I managed to understand that I was setting a field
to
a undeclared variable: “keyboard-layout“. A stupid mistake on my part
that
should have been trivial to spot took hours instead because the error
message was obscure.
