Hello there everyone, For the last few days I am trying to install GuixSD on the virtual environment. I have already read few articles in this topic, official manual and even asked for help on the #guix channel. No luck so far.
Here is the process step-by-step (after preparing the VirtualMachine and adding): ifconfig enp0s3 up && dhclientenp0s3 cfdisk /dev/sda mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/sda2 mount -L root /mnt mkdir /mnt/etc cp /etc/configuration/desktop.scm /mnt/etc/config.scm nano /mnt/etc/config.scm deco start cow-store /mnt guix pull guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt Additional information: connection is OK, I pinged www.google.com <http://www.google.com/> after enabling enp0s3 I divided /dev/sda to two partitions: /dev/sda1 BIOS boot, 200M /dev/sda2 Linux filesystem, 15.8G in /mnt/etc/config.scm I changed /dev/sdX to /dev/sda We all know that hydra is being overloaded all the time. The guix system init process is failing on random packages due to the network issues. I am rerunning the command every time. However something strange happens at python package. Every time after downloading 15.3M the process is being killed but is it? Here is the output: http://hydra.gnu.org/bla/bla/hash-python-2.7.10 <http://hydra.gnu.org/bla/bla/hash-python-2.7.10> 1.3MiB/s 00:12 | 15.3MiB transferred killing process 20890 killing process 20890: No such process I am not returned to the command prompt after this. It is stuck that way forever. I tried it so many times already - no luck so far. Someone on #guix said that this may be the disk space issue so I created fixed disk image (rather than dynamically resizing one) and re-run the whole process. After failing with python package and running df /dev/sda2 usage is on 8% so I believe this is not the problem here. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. dptd
