Hi,

Did you try with the 1.3 image, or the latest one?  The latter should
have a lot of improvements over the former.

Are you using the graphical installer or the manual way?  It's not clear
to me whether you get that backtrace with the installer or directly with
`guix` invocations.  We have a handy error dump tool in case of
installer bugs that was introduced after 1.3, and if that's your case
it'd help go into more details about what's going wrong.

If you're going the manual way, could you send your config.scm, possibly
redacting the sensitive parts?

Best,
