[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 539 bytes --] Hey everyone, I just installed Guix System on my PC and now I'm having some trouble getting it to boot. When I start up and after I go through grub I just get a few seemingly innocuous messages and then it just stops. I've tried both the stable and latest installation images with the same effect for both. I installed with encryption using the whole disk. I've attached a screenshot of everything I see when I try to boot. Any help in figuring out what's going wrong would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks in advance! Cheers, Tom [-- Attachment #2: Screenshot --] [-- Type: image/jpeg, Size: 3737414 bytes --]
I actually couldn't get encryption to work for my on my librebooted machine. I re-installed with just 1 unencrypted ext4 machine, and now I can use guix system. Not really a fix I know, but you might give that a try. -- Joshua Branson Sent from Emacs and Gnus https://gnucode.me https://video.hardlimit.com/accounts/joshua_branson/video-channels "You can have whatever you want, as long as you help enough other people get what they want." - Zig Ziglar

Thanks! I guess I'll have to forego encrypting my root drive for now.

I've tried installing without encryption, but I still get the same
behavior. I did notice these lines in my messages log, I'm guessing this
certainly isn't good. I don't have any experience with the linux-libre
kernel, but I'm guessing it's a problem with my video card needing
non-free firmware?

Yeah, any AMD graphics card is going to have a hard time. Without the firmware files, those graphics cards are nearly useless. There's some really old nvidia cards that work fairly well. There's probably a kernel parameter you could pass that would disable the AMD graphics driver from loading. The Intel CPU graphics driver is one of the better ones for running libre graphics software. :) -- Joshua Branson Sent from Emacs and Gnus https://gnucode.me https://video.hardlimit.com/accounts/joshua_branson/video-channels "You can have whatever you want, as long as you help enough other people get what they want." - Zig Ziglar
