Hello! The Parted manual mentions a “GNU Storage Guide” that the intertubes haven’t even seen, it seems. I found that r600 by Leslie P. Polzer in the original svn repo was the one that introduc
* gnu/build/install (install-grub, install-grub-config): Extract code from 'install-grub' into a new procedure 'install-grub-config'. Also, define 'install-grub' using define, not define*, since it m
I've just re-installed Guix from a 0.16 image. My first time in a year, and I've had the opportunity to have a fresh look at the installation manual. I've taken note of a few confusing points that ga
Thanks! and thanks for stirring up this quiet topic again :) Different parts of the image can be written to different offsets on the boot media in a way that doesn't conflict. The boot ROM on allwinn
Sounds useful! I have a some shell scripts that I use to "reproducibly" install GuixSD on my laptops, but they're not very elegant at the moment, and they hard-code marusich-specific things in places
Hi, I already understood you correctly ... i think. :)) GPT partitioned ISO are not hampered from telling the full image size as size of the ISO 9660 filesystem. $ /sbin/gdisk -l guixsd-install-0.15.
Hi Thomas! Thanks for your report on your experience. It’s very helpful in understanding what’s wrong and in improving the thing! Thomas Danckaert <address@hidden> skribis: Good. :-) I hope we ca
Hi Pierre, In practise UEFI likes to fake a lot of stuff. It can happen that /sys/firmware/efi exists but the system cannot *boot* via EFI. Likewise, /sys/firmware/efi can vanish just because you boo
Hi Stefan, et al, What form would a "firmware field" take? On principle, I am against boundless _incorporation_ of new dangerous capabilities into a piece of software, as opposed to incoporating the
Hi! By the way, there is <https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=48314> since a month meanwhile, which now makes the support for the Raspberry Pi complete. The same bootloader can be used for
Hi Vagrant, Awesome! Uhhh? Doesn't sound possible to me then to use the same image for both? I'm probably missing something. That is correct. Stefan wrote a Guix chain bootloader that is in master--b
So, I've managed to get a single image that supports booting both the Pinebook and Pinebook Pro reasonably well! I can pop the microSD card out of one and put it into the other, and it boots! Maybe t
Nice! No, I think I didn't make it work yet. I've modeled along the lines of what was already there for Grub. But I've got no idea where gnu/build/install.scm's install-grub finds "grub-install" - so
Hi Guix-devel, Yesterday, I finally installed GuixSD on my laptop “natively”. Thanks to jmd and iyzsong who gave me some advice on #guix. Overall, it went well, didn't take long, and was quite st
... ... ... Yes, standardizing on UEFI in general would be a good thing, especially because u-boot can increasingly fill that role for boards that don't have a tianocore/edkII implementation. My hear
If I read this https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/The-Store.html#The-Store correctly, then perhaps a proper solution to this is to also supply --localstatedir in attempt to ensure that the db w

Hi! It is, if you want to share /home but not not /etc, /var, and so on. So if your slackware install is on sda1, your home is sda2, and you install GuixSD to sda3 -- that can work. Don't install ove
Does the u-boot bootloader routine have to do anything other than generating the extlinux.conf file? That would be enough so that there is an alternative to grub-install for the qemu use case and fo
