Dear Guix Community,
I am writing to report an issue that I encountered while updating my GNU Guix System Distribution. I was able to successfully install it on my laptop, but when I ran "guix pull" and "guix system reconfigure", the updating process failed to install the bootloader on my ESP partition. As a result, when I rebooted my laptop, I couldn't boot normally to my GNU Guix System and no GRUB bootloader was found.
I tried to create a new USB stick for the installation of GNU Guix, and the installation proceeded well except for the last step which was the installation of the bootloader. I received a message about efibootmgr. Eventually, I switched to the installation of my NixOS Linux and successfully installed it on my HP laptop from which I am reporting this issue to the Guix community.
I would like to know if there is a stable branch for Guix in the same way as there is a stable branch of NixOS Linux. Also, I would appreciate any help or guidance on how to solve the above issue.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards,

Hi there,
AFAIK there's no stable branch of Guix.
Please share the code of your Guix system configuration and the exact
error message you received.
I'd normally expect efibootmgr errors when trying to install a UEFI
variant of GRUB while being booted in legacy mode. So you can first
make sure your USB is booted in UEFI mode before trying to install a
UEFI GRUB. Alternatively, you can install the OS in legacy mode (i.e.
without using ESP) and then set your laptop to boot from disk in legacy
mode. Please look into Guix documentation to find information on how to
perform both types of installation
Best,
wojtek

Hello Guix!
This year is Guix’s ten year anniversary and also a time when in-person
meetings are again possible in some regions of the world, so… Simon and
myself have tentatively scheduled an in-person meeting in Paris, France,
from September 16th to 18th! \o/
We have been in contact with IRILL¹, which kindly offers to host the
event in its offices; we are discussing to confirm the details.
The way we see it, it would go as follows:
1. Friday will be dedicated to uses of Guix for reproducible research
workflows, primarily with talks from people with experience in the
field.
2. Saturday and Sunday will be more informal, with a mixture of talks,
tutorials, hacking sessions, install parties, or really whatever
you’d like to see happen—including having a birthday cake. :-)
We invite y’all to share ideas and suggestions: things you’d like to
talk about or hear about, hacking sessions you’d like to have with
others, things you’d like to do to introduce Guix to newcomers.
For this to work, we’ll need your help: to define the program (looking
for speakers, for facilitators for work groups or hacking sessions), for
the logistics (especially if you live in Paris, but also: setting up
video capture and publication, live streaming), setting up a web page,
and so on.
Every contribution counts; “the more each one of us does, the less any
single person will have to do”, to paraphrase Gunner, as those who
attended R-B summits in the past will remember. So don’t shy away and
get in touch with us on this list or through the following private alias:
guix-birthday-event@gnu.org.
I think this is a great opportunity to meet old friends, to put faces on
the IRC nicknames of new friends, to share skills and have a good time.
Feedback very much welcome! :-)
Ludo’.

It would be a great idea to update guix's ROADMAP before this conference takes place.
Here are some of my thoughts about what features ought to be in Guix 2.0 as well as adding
a vision to the ROADMAP file. Please note that these changes are very rough draft.

Regards,
I currently use xonsh as my user's shell, but the default version in
GuixSD is 0.6.2 and the latest available is 0.9.18.
I wrote a file to install the latest version of this package but I
cannot set this version as my user's default shell.
There is a way to update xonsh in the config.scm file to the latest
available version.
Thank you

I think the standard advice is to submit a patch to update the version
of xonsh, then use profiles to run the version desired.
