I don't really remember. It would be useful to know the exact error message, and to see your configuration file if possible. You can connect to the installer over SSH from another machine if that makes copying the error and config file easier. > I did a little reading and it seems the solution is to upgrade the guix daemon, but how do I upgrade the guix daemon on a liveUSB? That seems a bit odd, as the guix-daemon is usually quite separate, and doesn't often cause problems. Upgrading might be possible, but if you wanted to do this, I think it would be easier to generate [1] a updated installation image with the newer version of the guix package on it. But first, it would be good to check the error message and your configuration file. 1: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Building-the-Installation-Image.html#Building-the-Installation-Image --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEEPonu50WOcg2XVOCyXiijOwuE9XcFAlo/701fFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDNF ODlFRUU3NDU4RTcyMEQ5NzU0RTBCMjVFMjhBMzNCMEI4NEY1NzcACgkQXiijOwuE 9XfCMRAArXUFW0V12+B1SVWQxWLdp+NZboNTaC6aIzO5x34PUYraiguuAzRkYRd8 jT0OxUg5lTTaU2sVfFrBiDIukR4O5hnxoULRAzijijDcq5t/NaOWIbIhz1j7G/lf jZXaDcPS2Vthr6JPNHk80vHYqRdPdsn6VUojda6i55bPvsUu598p6gP7tRiE3kv5 BKup+uAZaa5VOHwJgHM55V0Qmr2/MVkdOQV4KQTo/sX1I2lJTjW+tA5XieHwMcXu e11R40iBu4aAt/WnGy7/dP1XlX43sU8HbMic4GrZUrY9mW0Vnc0pZbMnc4XOzCuy kymv/BwydV9rtvKFJfDnEOrJaPifrGLZ1pOKEuAX400iWFs1Z6MpMuoZUgVkDnhS fP/vw4BqaY0MLDkEp0mp//do44B99LOljlncoHGhl3Sja2hZhbbxtbIZt/STLXzn mt3PWIorpSim0brUMr0I5ZWefwGyMVaeepsU3cWVVR/KRWhxhyi50tkmI7CnfB/c 8MWW8jyvhSH+qWLJMKFQUSJpbZHdRDUv4P8oT5qiZcUTp0NpEhqDRpydUjgwSNRp wYM4pmAmI+64qUYNHauLG/7ciD+pTExF3ndrGRHM+bvyKGgNVwCsC0r94uxINnYW r367bnrR1KSB0Jf7MX3D5tC9HMEIvXlPJt3GznJ8We2gcHAADO0= =Diz9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
