#+TITLE: A note about GuixSD Reinstallation
* The problem
My orig GuixSD's root is about 12G, which is enough for other
Linux Destribution, but ,is very very small to GuixSD, So I
cide enlarge root with the help of gparted livecd
Note: should we suggest user add big space to /, for example "100G" ?
* Modify dict part
From:
1. /dev/sda1 (12G) -> /
2. /dev/sda5 (40G) -> /mnt/backup1
3. /dev/sda6 (4G) -> swap
4. /dev/sda7 (120G) -> /home
5. /dev/sda8 (rest) -> /mnt/backup2
To:
1. /dev/sda1 (12G) -> /mnt/backup2
2. /dev/sda7 (90G) -> /
3. /dev/sda8 (4G) -> swap
4. /dev/sda5 (100G) -> /home
5. /dev/sda6 (rest) -> /mnt/backup1
The problem is that I use "/dev/sda*" instead of Label in my guixsd config, so
when I do the change above, my guixsd can not boot,
I want to use gparted livecd to recover, but I do not know how to deal with the
problem.
Note: should we suggest user use Label insteal /dev/sda*?
* Reinstallation
I use guixsd 0.13 to reinstall, and use my desktop guixsd config. install failed
for gtk-im can not install properly.
So I reinstall a tiny guixsd, success.
but when I restart to my new installed guixsd, I found that
I can not set my wifi network ( wired network have no driver),
for I have not install wpa-suppXXXXXX. :-(
so I reinstall guixsd again to add wpa packages.
Note: should we install wpa-supXXXXX by default?
Reboot to the new guixsd and I run "guix pull"
the connect is slowly and unstable in my country. so I need to wait wait wait ......
after guix pull finished, I reconfigure my desktop config. and faced error:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE

#+END_EXAMPLE
Fuck!!!!, so I have to save the error to a usb dict and email in other computer
to guix-devel to help.
Ludo give me a help : https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=28445#23
but this need patch guix ......
so I download guix.git, manual type the *small* patch to gnu/system.scm file.
and run "guix environment guix", wait wait wait ..........
when finished, I found this command can not run by root.
switch to normal account: "feng" and guix pull and wait wait wait ..........
this time, "guix environment guix" success. and I run ./configure ... make.
shepherd service compile error .... why?
I run "make distclean" and remove "~/.cache/guile", make success :-)
"guix system reconfigure" my guixsd configure success!
but, I can not switch to a virtual terminal by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1, F2 ...
