Subject: bug#53544: [installer] Trying to edit the generated config.scm crashes the installer
Date: Tue, 25 Jan 2022 23:14:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YfDKvOlAVFQyt3rf@jasmine.lan> (raw)

While testing the installer built from the current master branch, we
found that trying to edit the generated config.scm crashes the
installer. Screenshot attached.
I built the installer like this:
$ guix environment guix -- ./pre-inst-env guix system image -t uncompressed-iso9660 --label="GUIX_x86_64-linux-leo" --system=x86_64-linux gnu/system/install.scm
I created a disk to install it with QEMU:
$ qemu-img create -f qcow2 guix-system.img 50G
And I ran the installer like this:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 1024 -smp 1 -enable-kvm -nic user,model=virtio-net-pci -boot menu=on,order=d -device virtio-blk,drive=myhd -drive if=none,file=guix-system.img,id=myhd -drive media=cdrom,file=my-image.iso
I proceeded to select the default answers for all questions: no desktop,
the default networking-related services, DHCP network provider, guided
partitioning using the entire disk.
At the end, it shows the generated configuration, and crashes when I
select "edit". Unfortunately, the installer becomes unresponsive when
this happens, so I cannot scroll down and read the entire backtrace.
