If you installed it long ago, it could be that you authorized substitutes from hydra.gnu.org (the former CI server, discontinued in June¹) but not from ci.guix.gnu.org. So you would need to check: 1. which substitute URL guix-daemon is using; 2. which keys are authorized in /etc/guix/acl. The above chapter of the manual has more info on this. LMK how it goes! ¹ https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-guix/2019-06/msg00001.html > Ahh, you are right.

Guix needs space in /gnu/store to store the actual build results, and it needs space in /tmp when it’s building stuff. Building ‘tar’, for example, consumes quite a bit of space (in /tmp) because its test suite runs on large files. > I will try to enlarge the root partition and try again. > Would you mind to give a recommendation for its size? It depends on your use case of course, but most likely you’ll need at least a dozen GiB. But first, I recommend figuring out the substitute story so you don’t have to build everything locally! Thanks, Ludo’.
