Yes, but it's okay :) We can answer it here, too. > On 08/02/2017 07:27 AM, 8gw72f+eiv9z4mpir92g@guerrillamail.com wrote: > > I cannot install GuixSD because adwaita-icon-theme is broken (unexcepted end of file). If I'm doing guix pull, then guix fails to check (two tests are FAIL). The first issue, with adwaita-icon-theme, can be worked around by running whichever command failed with the '--fallback'. This will build from source anything that failed to be downloaded. Regarding `guix pull`, can you tell us which tests failed? In general, my advice for installing GuixSD is to start with the simplest GuixSD system configuration file (typically /etc/config.scm) that you can boot the new system with. Once you've installed GuixSD, you can edit your configuration file and reconfigure the system to include all the bells and whistles. I recommend this because the installation process is relatively fragile compared to reconfiguring an installed system. So, if you make the installation rely on the smallest number of packages and services, you have a better chance of success. > > I'm using EFI installation with encrypted root. EFI partition doesn't have mapped-devices dependency. I don't have much experience with EFI. Hopefully somebody else has some advice here.
