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

GuixSD 1.5 amd64

(stock, and with guix pull && guix package -u)

I have initialized a system with the attached config.scm.  The openssh
service does not work at boot. 

However, I can reconfigure the system, and the openssh service works and
allows connections.

(I've confirmed with several people with same observation on #guix)

Hi Eric,

Julien pushed a commit that is supposed to fix your issue.  Could you
'guix pull' and test it?

Thanks,
Clément

I don't think you're having the same bug.  Martin can manually start the
daemon, whereas Leo can't.  So Martin seems to have
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=32197, for which a commit
has been pushed by Julien.

Martin, could you please test it?  (You just need to 'guix pull' and try
again.)  Leo, if you confirm my analysis, could you please unmerge the
bugs?

Thanks,
Clément

It still does not work for me.

Attached are my guix version, dmesg|grep shepherd output, config.scm and
my qemu invocation (metal).

I run that system in qemu, but it is installed directly on my harddrive.

Hi Ludo' et al.:

Unfortunately, I am still seeing issues with this.  It could be because
something that I am doing.

I first git pull the master tree into ~/projects/guix, and cd there. Then:

(GuixSD 0.15, on bare-metal)

guix environment guix
./bootstrap
./configure --localstatedir=/var
make
sudo -E guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

and reboot, and I still see the issue.

I apologize that the test that I had done earlier was in a VM, and I may
have done that wrong, or perhaps other differences.

Eric

That last line was mistyped into the email--I'm executing it as:

cd ~/projects/guix
guix environment guix
./bootstrap
./configure --localstatedir=/var
make
sudo -E ./pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
