Since I can't > just edit the file to add the line, can you recommend a way to fix this? system-local.conf is generated by the guix service for d-bus, see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/services/dbus.scm#n78 I'm not sure how it could ever happen that that is empty (no root element e= ither). Could you image the broken partition and give it to us? It needs some seri= ous debugging. Alternatively, you can specify "--repl" without the quotes at the end of the "append" line in grub in the menu in order to get it to stop booting and pr= ovide a Guile prompt. You then can write things like ,use (ice-9 ftw) (scandir "/etc") and so on. But I think it would be easier to chroot into the half-finished installatio= n and try to reconfigure again - if necessary from a guix checkout with debugging messages added. --Sig_/kJWthI_MyqXO+hIeltU.cR9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEds7GsXJ0tGXALbPZ5xo1VCwwuqUFAlxCV9sACgkQ5xo1VCww uqV7+wf/aZyCJNthD6Q0IHzYCP5xGlhZrG/k/FdH4nbcwbX2CKwVOHUGqo7Ej3XM pmFTrFG1s5fZDnJGM4pThzgZEYcPc7zaG6Cv7nYJkiAuEGhdac+vuALhwfSv//gB unNsCQZc8smtN4eBopePjzrCGG0rADCGI1BAdzQHTr+U7Na6gg2Km71sGNl7mrUn ZLNgSSXdElYmj3NsyBEfCa6ORyOvF/8DROgxF26elfMMvoeG/ykUpa9WJ0NVEV2U U8dB7gDti52CoNNsbX7vVkG6NkLJV3+jX+2isCfu6b5VNLuHLMWifUu+xsr0D3EL vrVwJ5IOOjRpPvkw55JhJ8xjDkuPrg== =rrqw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/kJWthI_MyqXO+hIeltU.cR9--
