I downloaded the latests System Distribution image at https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guixsd-usb-install-0.13.0.x86_64-linux.xz . I just checked the signature, and it is in order. > I verified that the commands are present by running the following > commands from a system that has a recent version of Guix: > > $ guix system vm gnu/system/install.scm > ... > /gnu/store/zrcjqk520wlbq0m9rq8ss60sj24hjpjg-run-vm.sh > $ /gnu/store/zrcjqk520wlbq0m9rq8ss60sj24hjpjg-run-vm.sh > > The commands "passwd" and "ssh-keygen" were present at > /run/setuid-programs/passwd and This directory in my image is empty. > /run/current-system/profile/bin/ssh-keygen, respectively.

Possibly, Wayne and I used the (experimental) GuixSD 0.13.0 image, whereas you use the GuixSD 0.13.0 Virtual Machine Image. I presume we all are on amd64. I did find the programs at the locations (with different hash in path) that Wayne suggested; this issue could be solved by updating the manual (updating the image can wait until the next release). > > SSH in either direction would give me a way to copy config.scm to a > > system where I can e-mail from.

Doing the installation again results in a succesful installation (well, more or less). It is very likely that I forget herd start cow-store /mnt which makes the installation use the harddisk instead of RAM. However, I always need to use --fallback. In any case, thanks to you and Wayne for the useful tips. Now for the "well, more or less". When booting my system with a freshly installed GuixSD, I get this output: ``` waiting for partition 'my-root' to appear... waiting for partition 'my-root' to appear... ... ERROR: In procedure scm-error: ERROR: failed to resolve partition "my-root" ``` My etc/config.scm is here: http://paste.lisp.org/display/360070 - Marco
