I have two processors, so I tried to run it on one, and it worked: ``` root@watson ~# time guix pull --cores=3D1 = =20 Starting download of /tmp/guix-file.kQQ8AM =46rom https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/snapshot/master.tar.gz... =E2=80=A6.tar.gz 2.8MiB/s 00:05 | 13.8Mi= B transferred unpacking '/gnu/store/v1zs6bfaam79wp9pf1ja9k8ys4f3dm2s-guix-latest.tar.gz'.= .. substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org= '... 100.0% The following derivation will be built: /gnu/store/5admrckcwdqgqix1d7hfj23fczk2k7ss-guix-latest.drv substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org= '... 100.0% copying and compiling to '/gnu/store/pmk3b4sqqnizkhmrxx7cdyj4as0ym6r4-guix-= latest' with Guile 2.2.2... loading... 26.1% of 647 filesrandom seed for tests: 1510251772 compiling... 100.0% of 647 files Some deprecated features have been used.

Do you have any idea what went wrong when using both cores? I am conflating cores and processors right now. I think these are equal for this system, but I'm not sure. I have an Intel Core2 Duo. /proc/cpuinfo shows two processes. Furthermore, I presume that `--cores N` actually means that guix spawns N processes. -Marco
