Today I got another chance to try the installer. I first used the
latest installer image from today (which failed to install Guix because
of a test failure) and then fell back to the 1.3.0 installer image.
Both installers had the same behavior when it came to accessing
ci.guix.gnu.org for substitutes. I ran the installer on a new build
node, which cannot access ci.guix.gnu.org through the public IP
address. I forgot to add a line to /etc/hosts to resolve
ci.guix.gnu.org to the local IP. When I started the installation it
would print two lines and then seemingly freeze.
There was no timeout either. When the installer is killed and restarted
it fails with other errors that I didn’t record. I had to reboot and
remember to make the change to /etc/hosts first before starting the
installation.

I can replicate this issue in a VM, by disconnecting the host network in
the middle of the installation.
I can also replicate it by running a "guix system init
~/guix/gnu/system/examples/desktop.tmpl /tmp" and blocking Berlin IP
while the command is running, this way: "sudo iptables -A INPUT -s
141.80.181.40 -j DROP". The init command hangs forever.
So looks like the freeze issue goes beyond the installer frame and is
more a Guix issue.
In the meantime, we could also extend the installer connectivity check
to make sure that ci.guix.gnu.org is available before proceeding to the
installation.
Thanks,
Mathieu
