Yes, but it's okay :) We can answer it here, too. > On 08/02/2017 07:27 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > I cannot install GuixSD because adwaita-icon-theme is broken (unexcepted > > end of file).

This will build from source anything that failed to be downloaded. Regarding `guix pull`, can you tell us which tests failed? In general, my advice for installing GuixSD is to start with the simplest GuixSD system configuration file (typically /etc/config.scm) that you can boot the new system with. Once you've installed GuixSD, you can edit your configuration file and reconfigure the system to include all the bells and whistles. I recommend this because the installation process is relatively fragile compared to reconfiguring an installed system. So, if you make the installation rely on the smallest number of packages and services, you have a better chance of success. > > I'm using EFI installation with encrypted root.
