Hello. I was trying to upgrade a Guix System with GNOME this week, but it was resulting in blank screen after reboot. I found that replacing uk_UA.utf8 with en_US.utf8 in the locale field in the system configuration allows to work around this issue and login as usual. I also tested in a virtual machine that setting the locale to uk_UA.utf8 in the system configuration reproduces the issue.
I looked at /var/log/messages but found no unusual messages. A line
similar to the following one shows up in the working installation. But
it does not appear in the affected installation when the above issue
happens.
