I see! I am always assuming that when I reconfigure, the current copy of guix
(the one from guix pull, or the one from git) is used in the resulting system
to run guix and the daemon afterwards, while in reality it is the latest guix
snapshot before that. So reconfiguring does not work unless the snapshot is
also updated.

Now to make things work in this particular case, one also needs to give
"--substitute-urls=http://..."; to the "guix system reconfigure" command
to turn off https.

Adding only "--no-substitutes" is not enough; I presume this is due to the
"feature" of grafts only partially honouring this parameter, as already
discussed.

bug#23072: GuixSD SSD install hangs at clocksource

2016-03-20 Thread myglc2
I tried to upgrade my headless server running GuixSD from to HD to SSD.

First I shot myself in the foot doing 'guix init' on the SSD. Possibly
by labeling the SSD root using the same label as the system HD root, or
maybe I miss-specified the bootloader device?

Anyway, to dig myself out, I switched to a 2nd server running
Guix/Debian and ...

- reinstalled GuixSD to the 1st server's HD, see
  "c06system.scm.log". This runs fine back in the 1st server.

- I did a near-identical install to a SSD (Kingston ssdnow300), see
  "c06system-ssd.scm.log". If installed on the 1st server this shows
  Guix welcome screen, loads the keyboard & mouse drivers, then hangs
  showing:

  "clocksource: Switched to clocksource tsc"

So to summarize, ~identical install on HD runs fine, install on SSD
hangs.

Please see attached logs. - George

This is just a shot in the dark, but I use SSD systems, too, and I
noticed that the first boot of a guixsd installation hangs for a while
collecting entropy before displaying a corresponding message IIRC and I
faintly remember the "switching to clocksource" message. Did you try
banging the keyboard? Maybe that's not possible on a headless server
though. Did you let it sit for a while?

Okay, so the problem is solved then?

If so, you can close the bug by sending mail to

2016-03-20 Thread Leo Famulari
Now that #:disallowed-references has been implemented (thanks Ludo!),
here it is applied to OpenSSL.

To core-updates?
