What happens is that the /dev/ttyN nodes do not exist (understandably), and thus the =E2=80=98console-font-ttyN=E2=80=99 Shepherd services fail to = start, and get restarted, indefinitely. The container is working as expected though. If you find the PID of the container=E2=80=99s =E2=80=98shepherd=E2=80=99 process (its PID 1, which ob= viously has a different PID outside the container), then you can do: guix container exec NNN /bin/sh where NNN is that PID of that =E2=80=98shepherd=E2=80=99 process (I use =E2= =80=98pstree=E2=80=99 to find the PID=E2=80=A6 not very convenient.) In that shell, you can do: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- sh-4.4# . /etc/profile=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20 sh-4.4# ls bin dev etc gnu home proc root run sys tmp var sh-4.4# herd status Started: + containerized-shepherd + file-systems + guix-daemon + host-name + loopback + nscd + root + root-file-system + ssh-daemon + syslogd + term-tty1 + term-tty2 + term-tty3 + term-tty4 + term-tty5 + term-tty6 + udev + urandom-seed + user-file-systems + user-processes + virtual-terminal Stopped: - console-font-tty1 - console-font-tty2 - console-font-tty3 - console-font-tty4 - console-font-tty5 - console-font-tty6 - networking - term-auto - user-homes --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- So in that sense everything is working =E2=80=9Cas expected.=E2=80=9D Now, it would make more sense to simply remove those =E2=80=98console-font-= ttyN=E2=80=99 services in a container and everything that depends on them. Not sure if we should do that automatically. Thoughts? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
