Hello,

> I could not copy the text so sending the screenshot from my phone.

Thanks for the report. Did you use the 1.3.0 release installer? If yes
could you please try the latest installer available here:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/latest/ and report back?

Mathieu

Hey,

Thanks for confirming.

Did you use manual partitioning and made sure not to wipe the extra OS
installation? In any case, I don't think we have support to detect other
installations and list them in Grub, but I may be wrong?

Oh not nice. You still have the TTY available by pressing CTRL-ALT-F3 or
so I guess.

Closing this one as the installer issue per se is fixed.

Thanks,

Mathieu
