Hello there everyone,For the last few days I am trying to install GuixSD on the virtual environment. I have already read few articles in this topic, official manual and even asked for help on the #guix channel. No luck so far.
Here is the process step-by-step (after preparing the VirtualMachine and adding):
- ifconfig enp0s3 up && dhclientenp0s3
- cfdisk /dev/sda
- mkfs.ext4 -L root /dev/sda2
- mount -L root /mnt
- mkdir /mnt/etc
- cp /etc/configuration/desktop.scm /mnt/etc/config.scm
- nano /mnt/etc/config.scm
- deco start cow-store /mnt
- guix pull
- guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt
Additional information:
- connection is OK, I pinged www.google.com after enabling enp0s3
- I divided /dev/sda to two partitions:
- /dev/sda1 BIOS boot, 200M
- /dev/sda2 Linux filesystem, 15.8G
- in /mnt/etc/config.scm I changed /dev/sdX to /dev/sda
We all know that hydra is being overloaded all the time. The guix system init process is failing on random packages due to the network issues. I am rerunning the command every time. However something strange happens at python package. Every time after downloading 15.3M the process is being killed but is it?
Here is the output:
killing process 20890
killing process 20890: No such process
I am not returned to the command prompt after this. It is stuck that way forever. I tried it so many times already - no luck so far. Someone on #guix said that this may be the disk space issue so I created fixed disk image (rather than dynamically resizing one) and re-run the whole process. After failing with python package and running df /dev/sda2 usage is on 8% so I believe this is not the problem here.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
