I chose the first items in the lists, which are "English" of the territory "Antigua and Barbuda". That's "en_AG.utf8" When I use "en_US.utf8", the problem does not occur. > The following patch fixes it for me. > > --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- > diff --git a/gnu/installer/utils.scm b/gnu/installer/utils.scm > index bb97bc5560..d745996a3a 100644 > --- a/gnu/installer/utils.scm > +++ b/gnu/installer/utils.scm > @@ -97,10 +97,12 @@ (define (pause) > ;; least give us translated messages. > (if supported? > (setenv "LC_ALL" locale) > - (setenv "LANGUAGE" > - (string-take locale > - (or (string-index locale #\_) > - (string-length locale))))))) > + (begin > + (setlocale LC_ALL "en_US.utf8") > + (setenv "LANGUAGE" > + (string-take locale > + (or (string-index locale #\_) > + (string-length locale)))))))) > > (guard (c ((invoke-error? c) > (newline) > --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- > > WDYT? I applied this patch to my Git repo and built a new installer like this: `./pre-inst-env guix system image -t uncompressed-iso9660 --label="GUIX_x86_64-linux-leo" --system=x86_64-linux gnu/system/install.scm` Then I copied the image out of the store and booted it in QEMU. But, I still had the problem during installation. Did I miss a step?
