I've downloaded latest QEMU image from build servers (build details: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/618573/details). Then I booted it with libvirtd on my Guix System on GNU/Linux. It booted and the login shell appeared. I logined as root without password and tried to install GNU Hello (just to make sure everything is working). It failed due to network problems, although my host machine was connected to the internet. Then I tried to ping GNU server: root@guixygnu ~# ping gnu.org But no output appeared, not even an error message! I checked the return status immediately: root@guixygnu ~# echo $? 1 Then I tried ping localhost, but again it returned 1 without any output. Then tried to see the available interfaces, but this too failed: root@guixygnu ~# ifconfig ifconfig: could not get list of interfaces Then I booted again with QEMU directly with: $ qemu-system-i386 -m 512 -snapshot -hda Again, I face the same problem. However, this time I noticed a message from settrans saying "settrans: /servers/socket/1: Device or resource busy", a message saying the disk is mounted as read-only, (probably) an error message from fsck showing it's usage, some warnings from Guile saying "WARNING: (guile-user): imported module (guix build utils) overrides core binding `delete'", the following messages during boot: failed to start service: loopback failed to start service: networking failed to start service: ssh-daemon failed to start service: ssh failed to start service: sshd Followed by an incomplete backtrace: Backtrace: 3 (primitive-load "/gnu/store/n9glgyqlb30wjxia0zcx71x9zw9?") In shepherd.scm: I saw many other messages, but I didn't get the time to read and copy it. Then I tried to check the status of loopback service: root@guixygnu ~# herd status loopback error: connect: /var/run/shepherd/socket: Connection refused Can someone help me with this issue? The QEMU image is almost unusable without networking. Note: all commands and their outputs are copied by hand. -- Akib Azmain Turja This message is signed by me with my GnuPG key.
