bug#37739: System install issue: 'You have a memory leak' |

Hello Ludovic,
Yes, I did did a similar install - in fact I was simply 'continuing' the
install manually from the point where the graphical install failed.
So, I was using the config file that the graphic config had produced.
I still am.
There is some complaints from the package manager about localization, and also
something about putting my .guix-profile directory into an environment
variable. I've tried to figure out what the latter is about, but I don't know
how it is -supposed- to work, so I'm not sure what to do about it. From what I
hear on irc, the profile and probably everything in the .guix-profile dir is
repeatedly generated, which means it's not -there- I should correct things
probably. So I'm a bit confused on that point.
I also have some trouble with the window manager I chose, i3. It seems it
didn't fully install. It's called up, and works.. the status bar didn't though,
not until I installed it manually, and I still haven't gotten dmenu to work
properly.
Regardless.. those three things are probably besides the point/bug. The system
got up and started, it works, I can log into it, and if I knew what I was doing
I could probably remedy the remaining things in a snap.
I've attached the config file I used. (generated by the graphical installer)
