On my Acer Aspire 5738PG the GUI installer for 1.1.0-rc2 fails at automatic network setup. It tells me the install process required Internet access. Manual setup of networking via “ip link set enp0s29f7u1” and “dhclient enp0s29f7u1” works fine; I can ping gnu.org. This is true for both a USB Ethernet adapter that works fine with Guix on other computers and is true for built-in non-USB Ethernet.
It appears the Guix installer uses Connman for network setup. On the Acer Aspire the output of connmanctl is Error getting peers: The name net.connman was not provided by any .service filesError getting technologies: The name net.connman was not provided by any .service files connmanctl> while on my Macbook the output of connmanctl is just a prompt connmanctl> What could be the reason? Note that I booted the Acer Aspire from DVD making it even slower than usual. Regards, Florian
