‘guix system vm-image’ produces an image that expects QEMU’s networking interface available as eth0 inside the host, hence the error you were getting. To enable that, I think you need to do: qemu-system-x86_64 -net user -net nic,model=virtio … See: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Running-GuixSD-in-a-VM.html Could you try and report back? Thanks, Ludo’.
