Subject: bug#35858: Null pointer error when partitioning with the graphical installer
Date: Wed, 22 May 2019 20:53:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sgt61fu6.fsf@planete-kraus.eu> (raw)
Hello,
Thank you for all the work you've put in the Guixsd release. I have
used guix on top of a Debian distribution for some time, but with the
release I wanted to try and install it on its own.
I'm trying to install guix on my system. I have the 1.0.1 patch, but I
had the same problem with 1.0.0.
I already have a debian system with an encrypted drive, and I would like
to erase it with an encrypted Guix system with a separate /home partition.
I have chosen my language (français).
My location (France).
I have chosen the graphical installer.
I have chosen my timezone (Europe / Paris).
I have chosen my keyboard (Français / Français (sans touche morte Sun):
this one seems to be correct but I don't have much information. It
would be awesome if I could test it in a text box).
I have chosen the guided installation with encryption.
I have chosen my hard drive, the only option:
ATA WDC WD15EARS-60M (scsi) /dev/sda 1500 GB gpt
I have chosen the option to have a separate /home.
And then I get the exception. I copy it from another keyboard, but I
hope that I copied it correctly.

If you need more information, please tell me. I can retry the
installation to help debugging that, but I need simple instructions :)
