Hi,

On the 1.3.0 image, F1 to reboot just locks up the computer with a black
screen. Necessary to hold down power button to force-power-off computer to
restart it.

Using the GUIX snapshot image does not have this issue, reboot works
normally with the later image.

Best,
Peter

Ouch.  Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

Unfortunately, the 1.3.0 image is just as much of a ‘snapshot’, 
although it was tested and presumably rebooted some (most?) 
hardware at the time.

It does not receive backported fixes or updates.  That would 
require volunteer effort we currently lack.  The good news is that 
the next (1.4.0) installer will equally be a tested snapshot of 
master, and hence should contain whatever fix makes the ‘latest’ 
ISO reboot properly for you.

Since there's nothing actionable to ‘fix’ within our current 
release workflow, I'm closing this bug, although does illustrate 
one weakness in said workflow.

Kind regards,

T G-R
