Hello,

I've tried to install linux on my phone which is a arm64 device
(Sailfish OS) and I get an error when I try to run `guix pull`. The
error is:

This backtrace does not appear to have useful information for debugging the issue, perhaps https://issues.guix.gnu.org/50238 could help by using the with-error-handling to format the error messages properly.

As a GUIX aarch64 user on many devices, I can say it’s not a common problem.

How much RAM do you have on your device? Do you have swap/zram?

As mentioned previously in another thread, the name is Guix, not GUIX. GUIX is a Microsoft thing.

Greetings,
Maxime.

To test for out-of-memory problems, you could dmesg (ideally Guix would hook into cgroups or whatever to be notified about out-of-memory and properly indicate the error message). &nar-error sounds more like a substitute-related (because 'nar) network error to me though.
