My intention was to complete the installation using the graphical installer, but my attempts failed with an error that pointed to the line in the "config.scm" where the EFI partition UUID was defined (I don't remember the exact error, but I think I mentioned it on #guix). In my case, the installer generated this: ``` (file-system (mount-point "/boot/efi") (device (uuid "A0CA-50E" 'fat32)) (type "vfat")) ``` However, running "blkid" would display the correct UUID as `A0CA-050E`. So, for some reason, the zero before 5 was omitted in the configuration generated by the installer. The issue happened every time I restarted the machine to try the installation again (around 4 times). Because of this I couldn't finish the installation normally, and had to modify the UUID in the generated "config.scm" by hand (adding the missing 0) and, also manually, run the rest of the necessary commands for installing the system: herd start cow-store /mnt guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt Completing the process manually also required to assign passwords manually for root and the user I had created during the graphical steps. The passwords indicated for them during the graphical steps were not applied to the installed system. --- https://sirgazil.bitbucket.io/ From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Mon May 06 18:23:24 2019 Received: (at control) by debbugs.gnu.org; 6 May 2019 22:23:24 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:57697 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1hNm16-0006DI-Bz for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 06 May 2019 18:23:24 -0400 Received: from eggs.gnu.org ([209.51.188.92]:57518) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1hNm14-0006D3-Js for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 06 May 2019 18:23:22 -0400 Received: from fencepost.gnu.org ([2001:470:142:3::e]:47913) by eggs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.71) (envelope-from ) id 1hNm0z-00086r-Br for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 06 May 2019 18:23:17 -0400 Received: from [2a01:e0a:1d:7270:af76:b9b:ca24:c465] (port=40102 helo=ribbon) by fencepost.gnu.org with esmtpsa (TLS1.2:RSA_AES_256_CBC_SHA1:256) (Exim 4.82) (envelope-from ) id 1hNm0w-0001qz-DZ for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Mon, 06 May 2019 18:23:15 -0400 Date: Tue, 07 May 2019 00:23:13 +0200 Message-Id: <877eb3fcj2.fsf@gnu.org> To: control@debbugs.gnu.org From: =?utf-8?Q?Ludovic_Court=C3=A8s?= Subject: control message for bug #35582 MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-detected-operating-system: by eggs.gnu.org: GNU/Linux 2.2.x-3.x [generic] X-Spam-Score: -2.3 (--) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: control X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.18 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -3.3 (---) severity 35582 serious From unknown Sat Jun 14 19:10:30 2025 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: MIME-tools 5.505 (Entity 5.505) X-Loop: help-debbugs@gnu.org From: help-debbugs@gnu.org (GNU bug Tracking System) To: sirgazil Subject: bug#35582: closed (Re: bug#35582: Installer: Graphical installation failed because of truncated UUID) Message-ID: References: <87tve67eij.fsf@gnu.org> <16a88bb2458.e42dc84338194.3585754428049419340@zoho.com> X-Gnu-PR-Message: they-closed 35582 X-Gnu-PR-Package: guix Reply-To: 35582@debbugs.gnu.org Date: Tue, 07 May 2019 10:20:02 +0000 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----------=_1557224402-18726-1" This is a multi-part message in MIME format... ------------=_1557224402-18726-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Your bug report #35582: Installer: Graphical installation failed because of truncated UUID which was filed against the guix package, has been closed.
