Subject: Boot failure after system reconfigure.
Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2020 13:07:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200206130737.GA2004@kahlua.com> (raw)
I slightly edited my /etc/config.scm file to add the Sway and
Enlightenment window managers, but after a 'sudo guix system
reconfigure /etc/config.scm', the system fails to boot.
I *can* boot back into my original configuration without any issue.
I could not find too much help on the problem. I understand 'guix
system reconfigure' does not check for boot problems. I just don't
know how to ensure my machine boots properly.
Durng the boot process, after the GRUB boot menu, I get the following
output (note that I cannot copy/paste, so it is slightly abbreviated)
CG Warning: pthread_getattr_np or pthread_attr_getstack failed for main thread
CG Warning: Couldn't read /proc/stat
Welcome, this is GNU's early boot Guile.

For what it's worth, the and "battery" line may be due to the
fact that I took the battery out of my machine because it wasn't
working ("my machine" is an x86_64 ASUS AMD A10 laptop), or it could
be due to my 'tlp' program. I'll post my config.scm if you need it. I
can't now cause I'm on another machine to copy the boot message.
Guix is up to date (not on root, but on my user account)
