Late in the evening, with help from leoprikler at irc #guix, a workaround was found; going manual, which had until then been too overwhelming for me to face. I just wrote a bit on that as extra information to the bug report, but will quote it below also. Reproduction is to use the graphical installer; from the beginning: English, Denmark, Graphical installer; Europe, Copenhagen, Danish, Danish (no dead keys) Guided - entire disk with encryption ATA scsi (choosing my harddisk) Everything is one partition Resulting partitioning scheme looked like: /dev/sda /boot/efi 576MB fat32 boot,esp / 1000GB ext4 cryptroot I did not encounter the same problem doing the population manually. The output from the manual command and from the graphical install is not the same, so I can't really compare what happened blow-by-blow. I tried the graphical approach thrice, getting the issue, then following advice did the manual command - actually in an attempt to secure the screen output - and it worked the first time I did it. I hope that this helped in determining the source of the problem :] Kind regards, Uffe --------------------------------------- With the help of #guix, a workaround was found; A manual continuation of the install succeeded where the graphical install did not. 'guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt' resulted in successful population of /mnt, and in what seems to me to be a functioning system. --------------------------------------- On Sun, 13 Oct 2019 22:47:53 +0200 Ludovic Courtès wrote: > Hi Seswu, > > "Seswu M.
