[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi!

Building a VM with postgres service like so (pg.scm attached)

    guix system vm pg.scm --expose=$HOME --share=$HOME/tmp=/exchange

on master @22 August

     e8bb433 gnu: Add kmscon.

results in run-vm.sh that boots fine doing

    /gnu/store/0d28hg2ms78wciiwlq1ic1sk1i98vdd8-run-vm.sh -enable-kvm -m 2G -net nic,model=virtio -redir tcp:2223::2222 -redir -redir tcp:5433::5432 &

Creating the same vm with today's master

    392a4e1 guix hash: Add --exclude-vcs option.

and running it

    /gnu/store/fikrcvp5bz1f8f152hgrn94lx677s95l-run-vm.sh -enable-kvm -m 2G -net nic,model=virtio -redir tcp:2223::2222 -redir tcp:5433::5432 &

breaks like so (copied manually from graphical qemu box)

    Adding user guixbuilder10...
    Adding user postgres...
    ERROR: In procedure system*:
    ERROR: Wrong type (expecting string): #t
    ...
    In ./gnu/build/activation.scm:
       ...
       152:20 (add-user "postgres" "postgres" #:uid #f #:comment "Po#" #)
    In unknown file:
          0 (system* "useradd" "-g" "postgres" "-c" "PostgresSQL" se#" #)

I'm not sure how to debug this further.

Greetings,
Jan

Sorry for not answering earlier.  I cannot reproduce it with
v0.11.0-2111-g85533e2 and with the config you sent.

Could you check on your side?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Sorry for not getting back earlier.  I've been running postgres VM's for
quite some time now.
