By going to tty0 (Ctrl-Alt-F1) we can see the following text which gets output at every crash: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8059 font ERROR: Aborting: no font found --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Apparently there is a patch which might fix that problem, available here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-12/msg00165.html Maxim
