Subject: Booting GUIX in single user

Message-ID: <CAEC8F73-F91C-4275-AE54-B882BA6FF320@h-brs.de> (raw)
Hi there,
While experimenting with Guix and installing one more package the disk of the test system filled to 100%. After shutting down the system to provide more disk to the VM, after reboot, the gdm session is indefinitely started and killed.
I tried to boot into non-x11 (level3) or single user mode but unfortunately the option I pass to Grub seems not to be recognized by the linux-libre kernel. Any hint where I find the correct boot options for a Guix System, so I can repair my system?
Thanks,
Alex
PS: one more thing. Is there any documentation about the packages? How to use them after just Guix install? After installing a package, e.g. a window manager like exam or a desktop environment like lxde additional steps are necessary for a user to use them. Can I find these steps somewhere? In particular to do the configuration such that it is compatible with the package and will not brake after updating the package to a new version.
