guix system: error: dummybootloader: no such bootloader

Great guide! Got a working system for the most part, but have a speed bump related to WSL2 and corporate firewall settings that require me to downgrade to WSL1. Unable to convert because I hit a hard-link bug in WSL, and I'm unable to remove those packages because of this issue.

Ref microsoft/WSL#4457

I have docker desktop for windows installed, and when I pass the wsl-config.scm at the step "guix system reconfigure", in the "following derivatives will be built", only files with -docker- were built and it ended with an error message:

Also, it starts with some warnings:

Hi, could you please fix it?

The error message is:

And the guix-packages.drv.bz2 file contains:

Thanks for your Guix-on-WSL2.md!

I found a much easier way to start a environment ready for bootstrap Guix. Use the Alpine Image provided in Microsoft Store.
It's very small (about 2 MiB) and provide anything needed for bootstrap. I think this is much simpler than using Busybox rootfs and do the rest job manually.

I am trying this with guix 1.3.0 and get this error when executing the guix system reconfigure step:

~ # guix system reconfigure --no-bootloader wsl-config.scm
guix system: error: failed to load 'wsl-config.scm':
/root/wsl-config.scm:90:70: In procedure profile-content: Wrong type argument: #<<scheme-file> name: "parameters" gexp: #<gexp  gnu/system.scm:1434:18 7f324b8c40c0> splice?: #f load-path?: #f>
~ #

Any help would be appreciated... everything before that worked out like a charm.

Thx, Stefan

I've got pretty far in the steps, but got stuck on this error:

/etc # guix system reconfigure --no-bootloader ./wsl-config.scm
ice-9/eval.scm:223:20: In procedure proc:
error: <profile>: unbound variable
hint: Did you forget a `use-modules' form?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi,

I found your notes/Guix-on-WSL2.md very interesting. Have you considered doing without busybox and using a Guix-generated disk image directly as the root file system?

If that works I'd be happy to see this added to the Guix Cookbook.

# guix system reconfigure --no-bootloader wsl-config.scm
/root/wsl-config.scm:39:0: error: glibc-2.31: unbound variable
hint: Did you forget a `use-modules' form?

I removed glibc-2.31 and it started

I still get the following error:

I believe there's TLS issues with pulling for the current 1.2.0 release. I got "SSL certificate is invalid" error.

Workaround:
guix pull --url=http://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git

Hello, I'm using your directions to run GuixSD on WSL2, and pretty much everything is working very well; thanks for publishing your guide!

However, I tried integrating some pieces from your wsl-config-docker.scm as an example for getting docker to work, and got the following error:

error: (shepherd-service-type (quote dummy-networking) (const (shepherd-service (documentation "Provide loopback and networking without actually doing anything.") (provision (quote (loopback networking))) (start (gexp (const #t))))) #f): source expression failed to match any pattern

I presume the error has to do with this section here (copied from mine):

(define dummy-networking-service-type
  (shepherd-service-type
    'dummy-networking
    (const (shepherd-service
            (documentation "Provide loopback and networking without actually doing anything.")
            (provision '(loopback networking))
            (start #~(const #t))))
    #f))

It's pretty much at the beginning of the file and looks the same as yours, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

My preamble is:

(use-modules
 (gnu)
 (gnu services)
 (gnu system linux-container)
 (gnu services shepherd)
 (guix profiles)
 (guix packages)
 (srfi srfi-1))

(use-service-modules base networking ssh desktop xorg dbus docker)
(use-package-modules emacs shells xorg fonts certs ssh bash base linux)

And I only have one other define before that one (for listing a bunch of fonts), which has worked before.

Any ideas?

thanks for making babasha available on guix.

Quoting from Guix-on-WSL2.md:

Can only run one "wsl -d guix" terminal at a time

I don't know why but, after shepherd is started with the recipe above, you can't open another "terminal" (I mean: open cmd.exe, run wsl -d guix --exec /busybox sh . The wsl command returns immediately back to prompt. dmesg contains:
