Hello, > The first error comes when trying to partition the SSD via the graphical > installer, choosing a guided installation. This will happen choosing with > or without encryption, and with or without a separate /home partition. Sorry for all the errors you encountered, but many thanks for the feedback! Let's try to see what went wrong. Did you use 1.0.1 image or a more recent one? > 619:8 2 (_ #(#(# null-pointer-error > ("pointer->bytevector" "null pointer dereference" () ())) # /tmp/last-installer-error 12>)) > 159:9 1 (_ #(#(# null-pointer-error > ("pointer->bytevector" "null pointer dereference" () ())) # /tmp/last-installer-error 12>)) > In unknown file: > 0 (make-stack #t) > ice-9/eval.scm:159:9: In procedure pointer->bytevector: null pointer > dereference Ok, so I suspect that this one is caused by the size of your hard drive (2TiB). It's an unsolved issue[1] that fell into the cracks. > error: '/gnu/store/[hash]-grub-efi-2.02/sbin/grub-install --boot-directory > /mnt/boot --bootloader-id=Guix --efi-directory /mnt/boot/efi' exited with > status 1; output follows: > Installing for x86_64-efi platform. > Could not prepare Boot variable: No such file or directory > /gnu/store/[hash]-grub-efi-2.02/sbin/grub-install: error: efibootmgr > failed to register the boot entry: Input/output error. > guix system: error: failed to install bootloader > /gnu/store/[hash]-bootloader-installer Did you mount your EFI partition to "/mnt/boot/efi" before starting the install? > If you head back to the graphical install after this, you'll be treated to > another error when trying to pick your locale/keymap. Well, the graphical installer does not support very well to be restarted, especially in 1.0.1 release. > - I've transcribed the above errors by hand, but since they seem to be > exporting the output to /tmp, there's got to be a better way. Is it > possible to email this list from inside the installation image? That's heroic! If you have another machine around you may use SSH to get the error file (located in /tmp/last-installer-error). Otherwise you can take some pictures of your screen and send them as attachment. Now, if you could try again with: * The 1.1.0-rc2 release available here[2]. * This custom release[3]: 1.1.0-rc2 + the patch suggested by Danny for partitions > 1TiB. that would be really appreciated :) Thanks, Mathieu [1]: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/36783 [2]: https://web.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/software/guix/1.1.0rc2/ [3]: Via ipfs: QmbbkQZc7fbsDrutNwVuvpFep3dBjZx6muni3WgXjRneq7
