Ludo',
During the install process after selecting "wifi" there would be a
prompt saying "Connecting to 'hostname', please wait" and just seemed to
hang. Below are selection:
local: english
territory: United States
graphical installer using a terminal based interface
america
New_York
English (US)
English (US)
enter "hostname"
select wifi
select network
- prompt "Connecting to 'hostname', please wait" (never prompts for
password)
- switch virtual terminals (saved dmesg, guix version, and copied
messages file [attached])
Note, wifi was working after I installed guix with ethernet cable. In
the next week or so I'll try to download 1.1 and see if issue has been
resolved.
Thanks,
Ryan
