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

Hi,
I am installing Guix on a fresh system. Using the graphical installer, I
get all the way through to drive partitioning, where the installer crashes.

Switching to the terminal and running fdisk shows that the partitioning
succeed, creating 2 partitions, a boot (EFI System), and mass storage
(Linux filesystem/EXT4). There are no other partitions present on sda.

Attached are the back trace and partitioning scheme. I've set for both
partitions to be formatted, and I am using the most recent version of the
installer image.

It seems this error has popped up before on the installer, and was solved
by running  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda. However, in my case this does not
appear to solve the issue.

I'm pretty new to a lot of this, so please let me know what you think.
Thanks!

Hello Joey,

Thanks for the complete bug report. When you say "most recent version",
do you mean the 1.3.0 release or the latest installer image available
here: https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/?

Hi Mathieu,
I meant 1.3.0. I will try an install with the actual latest version and
see what happens.

Thanks!

Joey

Hi Mathieu,
Success! The installer successfully makes it through the partitioning step
and generates a config file, and I am able to boot into the system.

Thanks!
Joey
