Error in bootloader configuration

Error in bootloader configuration

[Divya]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 338 bytes --]

Hello all.

Attached is my current system config that I'm trying to do `guix system reconfigure system.scm` with. But I get this error:

https://paste.debian.net/1328778

Any help with this? I'm trying to dual boot into Guix and Arch installed on separate disks. I've failed previously and issued a bug, but didn't get any response.

admittedly, this is not a very useful error message.

but looking at where it comes from, it suggests that you have something strange among your services. and indeed, this looks fishy:

(set-xorg-configuration
 (xorg-configuration (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)))

remove that and try again.
