[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

I was not successful at installing Guix onto a virtual machine. At the end
I get an error message. I believe it is some how related to the file
system. I tried first with btrfs twice, I did manual partitioning first,
but when it errored the first time, I figured I did it wrong, so I did
btrfs with automatic partition, with the same issue, so I tried again with
ext, and the issue persisted. Enclodes are screenshots of the error screen.

Closing, due to lack of information/reproducer.

Thanks for the report, and feel free to open a new one if you still
encounter such an issue with the 1.3.0 installer.

Thank you,
