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

plase is there someone else that could reproduce this issue with "guix
system container": https://issues.guix.info/issue/34211 ?

I'm still not able to run a container built using "guix system container
container-minimal.scm -r container-minimal"

I'm on guix commit: 4aeb7f34c948f32363f2ae29c6942c6328df758c

this is the simple container.scm I'm using:

                   %base-services)))

and this are the messages I got on running the container:

I have to TERM the the container since the "ttN: No such file or
directory" message loops indefinitely

Efraim Flashner was able to reproduce the issue: is my container
configuration broken

please any hint on how to solve this issue?

Thanks!
