Hi Alex, Indeed, I had an encrypted disk. So I have just quickly reinstalled Guix without encryption and it works even though I received the same error messages and warning. I have bought this laptop to run any free Linux OS but I intended to use Guix especially. I will update the system and check errors later. Thanks :) Regards, Kodcu -- Verzonden met Tutanota, veel plezier met beveiligde en advertentievrije emails:
