Failed to autoload make-page-map in (charting)

Failed to autoload make-page-map in (charting)

[刘力铭]

I'm installing Gnu GuixSD on a machine with a configuration slightly changed from "bare bones" and using `guix-daemon --cores=8 --max-jobs=8 --substitute-urls="https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org"` to get a faster networking speed. But `guix system --skip-checks init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt` gives me the falling errors when installing `guix-1.0.1.drv`:
```

I got that this is an optional feature of guix that requires guile-charting and do not affect to use. But is there a way to skip this check or make guile-charting installed as a dependency? I used to run `guix system` without `skip-checks` and run with `skip-checks` again after the former was failed, but this error still occurs.

Note that mirror.hydra.gnu.org is defunct.  You should use
ci.guix.gnu.org, which is the only build farm that is provided by the
Guix project.

The manual says:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
‘--skip-checks’
     Skip pre-installation safety checks.

     By default, ‘guix system init’ and ‘guix system reconfigure’
     perform safety checks: they make sure the file systems that appear
     in the ‘operating-system’ declaration actually exist (*note File
     Systems::), and that any Linux kernel modules that may be needed at
     boot time are listed in ‘initrd-modules’ (*note Initial RAM
     Disk::).  Passing this option skips these tests altogether.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is unrelated to compiling code that can use Guile Charting at
runtime.  The warning is harmless.

Sadly, my network provider block ci.guix.gnu.org (I'm in mainland China)...
Is there a mirror for ci.guix.gnu.org? I just found some mirrors for hydra.

But this warning occurs as an error and block the installation process.

It's not blocked for me (I have CMCC), and substitutes works, but the
url (a web ui for our CI) is 502 now.

I think the real errors are at end of the message, could you check
again?

Yes, you are right, ci.guix.gnu.org can serve as a substitute url even ping it result in 100% package loss and this time installation process successfully finished.

This thread should be closed.

Yes, IMCP is blocked by the institute firewall, so you can’t ping the
server.

Thanks for letting us know that you had sucess in building the system!

I’m still waiting for the IT department at the institute where the
servers behind ci.guix.gnu.org are hosted to update the firewall rules,
so that we can offer an rsync service for operators of mirrors.  At
least the package cache could then be served from elsewhere, hopefully
bypassing the Great Firewall.

I don’t think this is the error that halts the installation.  The actual
error is probably closer to the bottom of the output.
