Re: Correct way to protect `guix system vm` invocations from garbage collection?

Hi Ben, If by "as a service", you mean started by the Shepherd, you should be good: the vm path will become alive as it's part of the system. Another solution would be to make it a gc root, which you can do by symlinking it in /var/guix/gc-roots Le 6 janvier 2024 00:31:05 GMT+01:00, Ben Weinst

Re: Laptop won’t boot after Guix install

Hi Ian, Something similar happened to me before. After reconfiguring a lot of times, the firmaware had no space left for EFI variables. I didn't notice the error message at first because guix system did succeed. Maybe you have some similar errors that don't lead to a failure? What does the last

home-syncthing-service-type wants /root paths, yet syncthing can work

Hi Guix! And dear helpers and devs, I'm running into a weird failure of home-syncthing-service-type. Running syncthing manually from the terminal works fine (here's an example log: ). So I Ctrl-C syncthing, then add home-syncthing-service-type to my home-config
