Hello,

My GuixSD configuration (see attachment) for UEFI got broken some
three weeks ago but I’ve only now caught up with my e-mail and “fixed”
it.

root@floriannotebook ~# guix system reconfigure /home/florian/keep/guixsd-asus.scm
Backtrace:

I ‘guix pull’ed before reconfiguring.

I used this:

  (bootloader (grub-configuration (device "/dev/sda")
                                  (grub grub-efi)))

Then ‘guix system reconfigure /home/florian/keep/guixsd-asus.scm’ kept
failing. Debugging by (load)ing .guix-real in the Guile REPL and using
breakpoints showed me that this was not a valid
(bootloader-configuration?).

Replacing the above by

  (bootloader (bootloader-configuration (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
                                        (device "/dev/sda")))

fixed it today and I can ‘guix system reconfigure’ again.

I don’t know why this broke and if it breaks for others too
(apparently noone has filed a bug yet), which is why I’m filing a bug
here. Using a syntax rule for grub-configuration seems complicated to
me anyway, but I’m still a Guile newbie.

Regards,
Florian

Oops, Guix breaks backward compatibility sometimes :-)

This is a limitation of 'grub-configuration' macro: that backtrace
happened because you have 'grub' field *not* in the first place of your
'grub-configuration'.

Note that this will work if you put (grub grub-efi) in the first place:

  (grub-configuration (grub grub-efi)
                      (device "/dev/sda"))

You figured it out!  I would stick to this variant instead of using
'grub-configuration' wrapper, but that's me :-)

I was affected as well, but I didn't consider it a bug, just a change in
the API.  In the past, I had:

   (grub-configuration (grub my-grub)
                       (device "/dev/sda")
                       (theme (grub-theme))))

And I replaced it with:

   (bootloader-configuration
    (bootloader (bootloader
                 (inherit grub-bootloader)
                 (name 'fake-grub)
                 (package my-grub)))
    (device "/dev/sda")
    (theme (grub-theme)))

Ah… Thank you for clarifying.

  (bootloader (grub-configuration (grub grub-efi)
                                  (device "/dev/sda")))

I just tried and this fails too with the same error. I’m not sure why
it does not match the syntax rule for grub-configuration.

This macro seems complicated and unintuitive. I don’t like how a
syntax rule feigns being a record definition but isn’t and therefore
breaks things… Why not just inherit bootloader-configuration?

Regards,
Florian

Hm, strange, it doesn't give me that error when 'grub' is in the first
place.  Anyway, I would use 'bootloader-configuration' instead as you do
it now.
