Hi!
I’ve used an installer built from this commit:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Generation 214 May 02 2022 21:44:14 (current)
guix 6b588da
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: 6b588da368c77cde82ea2f22ca315116228777ad
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
During installation, ‘guix system init’ displays dots instead of
progress bars for downloads and such.
This suggests that ‘display-download-progress’ gets #:tty? #f. This may
be a side effect of running it in a pipe in
‘run-external-command-with-handler’.
Thoughts?
Ludo’.

Hey,
Thanks for having a look!

Well it returns 0 for all fields, but I tested on several screen sizes
and everything seems fine so I went ahead.
While testing I noticed two new issues though:
1. When the disk is GPT partitionned there is no confirmation page in
"run-label-page". Something I missed in #57232.
2. When there is an exception in run-external-command-with-handler/tty
for instance, the backtrace page is displayed in the PTY and the
keyboard shortcuts do not work anymore.
I'll address point 1 shortly but could use some advice for point 2.
Thanks,
Mathieu
