bug#37128: guix system reconfigure stops output after "Evaluating user expression..."
Pierre Neidhardt writes: > Isn't there a more extensive log for "guix system reconfigure"? You could look at the .scm files produced by "guix system reconfigure" (the store paths should be printed to stdout). I'm afraid that, aside from Shepherd's own messages, the console output is the canonical log for "guix system reconfigure" right now. Regards, Jakob signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I hadn’t! If that’s the case, it’ll be more difficult for us to support that someone. :-) Ludo’.

The bootloader cannot be missing or > the thing is not installed. :-) No it's not missing, but I think the bootloader remained from the previous working configs (before I configured the Btrfs file system). Say I'd wipe the bootloader now and re-run `guix system reconfigure...', I don't think it would get installed then. -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

The “Evaluating user expression” started the ‘file-system’ service for this btrfs file system, and it got stuck for some reason. Did /var/log/messages or the console show anything? I suppose you’d have to try again the experiment. Presumably there’s some fsck-like process or something taking time or waiting for input. Ludo’.
