Hello.

I have issue with: $ sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm


$ sudo guix pull # One warning

Some deprecated features have been used.  Set the environment variable
GUILE_WARN_DEPRECATED to "detailed" and rerun the program to get more
information.


$ sudo guix system build /etc/config.scm # No error or warning


$ guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

It hangs shell until kill.

I boot in the first generation after installation and made:
$ sudo guix pull
$ sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

It wasn't clear to me that I cannot build new system commits ontop of
"dirty" generations.  Warning $ sudo guix pull is gone.  I'm not sure
why it didn't work on last commmit.  May be because I experimented too
much as newbie and because of that had many dirty system commmits.

What does /var/log/shepherd.log contain around that time?

There’s an open bug that might be the culprit:

Sorry, I lost logs around that time.  I restored my previous system
without saving logs because I had some issues with printer cups
configuration.

But now I have fully functional guixsd system except two things:

1. Scanner.  I configured it with hplip in previous system.  But now I
need to use sane as I understand.

2. libvirtd.  There is a guix package, but there is no service for
this.  I'm not sure how to use libvirt without service.  Will check it
or use qemu directly.

Our ‘sane-backends’ package depends on ‘hplip’, so I would expect
packages such as ‘simple-scan’ to work correctly with those scanners.  I
haven’t tried it though, so I can’t really tell.

Right, it’s currently missing.  Maybe you could follow
<https://gnu.org/s/guix/manual/html_node/Defining-Services.html> and
help write a service for it?  People on #guix and this list could
provide guidance.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
