I had a typo in my declaration of the grub device (I had unintentionally left out the leading "/" on "/dev/sda"), so 'guix system init' failed when setting up grub. I fixed the typo in the OS config and reran 'guix system init' but was greeted by an error about existing store directories. I ended up needing to remove the /mnt/var, /mnt/grub, and /mnt/gnu/store before being able to successfully rerun 'guix system init'. It would be useful for newcomers if recovering from mistakes were more trivial. -- `~Eric From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Wed Jun 10 08:13:10 2015 Received: (at 20722-done) by debbugs.gnu.org; 10 Jun 2015 12:13:10 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:46746 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1Z2esY-0001CE-2e for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:13:10 -0400 Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([208.118.235.92]:55521) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1Z2esW-0001C6-6A for 20722-done@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:13:08 -0400 Received: from Debian-exim by eggs.gnu.org with spam-scanned (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1Z2esQ-0006j0-JD for 20722-done@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:13:08 -0400 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.2 (2011-06-06) on eggs.gnu.org X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.9 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00,T_RP_MATCHES_RCVD autolearn=disabled version=3.3.2 Received: from fencepost.gnu.org ([2001:4830:134:3::e]:45591) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1Z2esQ-0006iw-G2; Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:13:02 -0400 Received: from reverse-83.fdn.fr ([80.67.176.83]:38461 helo=pluto) by fencepost.gnu.org with esmtpsa (TLS1.2:RSA_AES_128_CBC_SHA1:128) (Exim 4.82) (envelope-from ) id 1Z2esP-0006AC-U2; Wed, 10 Jun 2015 08:13:02 -0400 From: ludo@gnu.org (Ludovic =?utf-8?Q?Court=C3=A8s?=) To: Eric Bavier Subject: Re: bug#20722: Cannot rerun 'guix system init' References: <3f30776452649ca3f636862dc408109b@openmailbox.org> Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2015 14:12:59 +0200 In-Reply-To: <3f30776452649ca3f636862dc408109b@openmailbox.org> (Eric Bavier's message of "Tue, 02 Jun 2015 11:43:43 -0500") Message-ID: <87bngniwxg.fsf@gnu.org> User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/24.5 (gnu/linux) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-detected-operating-system: by eggs.gnu.org: Error: Malformed IPv6 address (bad octet value).
