Sorry, I lost logs around that time.  I restored my previous system
without saving logs because I had some issues with printer cups
configuration.

But now I have fully functional guixsd system except two things:

1. Scanner.  I configured it with hplip in previous system.  But now I
need to use sane as I understand.

2. libvirtd.  There is a guix package, but there is no service for
this.  I'm not sure how to use libvirt without service.  Will check it
or use qemu directly.
