I haven’t tried agetty, but it seems to have a hard-coded default login
program of “/bin/login”, which doesn’t exist here. Could you try
invoking it with -l $(guix build shadow)/bin/login ?
Alternately you could try adding a mingetty service to the
configuration:
(operating-system
...
(services (cons (mingetty-service "ttyS0")
%base-services)))
I still can't get serial console to work, perhaps needs more fidgeting.
Did you try agetty with -l as suggested above?
Yes. Same as before - it exists after a timeout of few seconds.
Trying "mingetty ttyS0" from the command line fails with:
ttyS0: no controlling tty: Operation not permitted
Is mingetty running as root here? If it is, could you strace it to see
exactly what returns EPERM?
Yes. Running as root.
I don't have "strace" installed - how do I install it ? (I'm very new to guix).
Thanks,
