bug#38447: Guix Stand-alone OS installation Error - T410 - x86 - intel - lenova

[Mathieu Othacehe]

Hello !

You're hitting two problems.

The first one is the one from the screenshot attached.

Then, you seem to restart the installation and it fails with "Unable to locate keymap update file" which is (sadly) expected, because installation restart always fails.

So we need to understand why the installer tries to build binutils instead of relying on substitutes and why it fails.

Someone ?

Hi Mathieu,

I did enable the virtualization settings in the BIOS (enabled kvm) in T410 BIOS CPU config, retried GUI installer (as shown in the attached images/screenshots)

Hello !

Sorry for my late reply. This is strange because the error seems to indicate an issue with kmscon but you wouldn't get there if it was failing to start. Could you try to disable the NVIDIA GPU in the bios and report back?

Thanks for your patience,

Mathieu

Hi Mathieu,

When you get a chance, could you please share the details or suggestions to proceed further with my GUIX installation on the lenova T410 x86 Intel?

Appreciate your help!

I downloaded the 1.0.1 image from the guix webpage and wrote a bootable DVD and used the graphical installer on a machine (lenova thinkpad t410 64bit)

Ok thanks. Did you use 1.0.1 image from http://guix.gnu.org/download/?
