Cannot install Guix System on A20-OLinuXino-LIME2

Cannot install Guix System on A20-OLinuXino-LIME2

[Tanguy LE CARROUR]

Dear Guix,

Following up on bug #59196 [1], I tried to install Guix System on
my A20-OLinuXino-LIME2 from the host distro Armbian.

[1]: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=59196

First, I ran into a RAM problem [2], so as Julien suggested
I set up offloading to another computer.

[2]: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=59196#68

My first attempt, on a small computer at home, ended with a failure during the
`check` phase after a 12 hour long `build` phase!?
I decided to give it a second chance on a bigger machine. It took "only" 3+ hours,
but failed with:

The build error for `kbd` contains:

What I don’t understand is that, if I build `kbd` (`guix build kbd`)… it works!?

Any help is welcome, even if I think I won’t spend more time on this in a near
future.

Best regards,

Are you build the same? :-)

    guix build -d kbd --no-grafts
    guix build -d kbd    

I guess none of the above is the one that is built by System, right?

Hum the error message seems weird; I would compare the derivation that
fails against the one that passes.


Cheers,
simon

Thanks!
I’ll give it a try… as soon as I have my OlinuXino and my "build farm" at the
same location at the same moment! 😅
