I've been using alacritty as my default terminal for about a year 
without much issues. I'm currently on v0.12.3 of alacritty and use it 
with i3 and Xorg. A month or two ago I noticed that upgrading GuixSD 
broke alacritty. Since it's my main terminal and I didn't have any other 
terminals installed, I was forced to rollback my system through GRUB 
because I couldn't literally not even open a terminal to investigate or 
roll-back by CLI. I was trying another system upgrade now and noticed 
the issue is still not fixed. When running alacritty from an 
already-open alacritty only shows me "segmentation fault". The working 
and broken version is both 0.12.3, so I think it might not be an 
alacritty issue but more a linking/build issue. I'm basically stuck on a 
months-old Guix until this is fixed.

If there is any way I can be of use by providing debug/log files of some 
kind, please let me know.

Looking at 'alacritty --help' it looks like you can try adding -v (up to
3) to get a more verbose output so hopefully we get more of an error
message.

Which generation are you on that is working for you? Which one do you
know is segfaulting? I'd like to try to narrow it down.

I meant more of what's the guix version from the generation which
contains the non-working alacritty.

I suppose this might be related to the mesa update we had some while
ago.  I myself noticed that GNOME 4 apps stopped working due to some
very, very weird behaviour of the driver that I still don't comprehend.
Anyway, switching to the cairo renderer per environment variable worked
for me.  Perhaps there's something similar you can do for alacritty (or
otherwise switch back to the older mesa with an inferior/use any other
VTE for the time being).

Cheers

This is what guix system describe shows:

 > commit: aabfddbe8bc16fa82067e88e7d79c8c1bc802414

So that should be the one that works, I guess. The newer one doesn't.
