<elevenkb>Hello there, how does one use a package like texlive-stix2-otf which packages an otf font from texlive and so doesn't seem to add it to the fontconfig cache? <anemofilia>Hm, I was going to run `guix size plasma` and somehow got 0.0MiB <anemofilia>running `ls -a (guix build plasma)` shows me the derivation output is empty <anemofilia>Ah, got it, `plasma` itself is just a metapackage <dajole>Okay, giving this another go. I'm trying to do a straight-forward install of Guix System on an old laptop. With the latest Guix image, when I follow the graphical installer, selecting the full system encryption in the guided partitioning step, and making no manual changes to the generated config, upon reboot I end up in Grub rescue with an `error: no such cryptodisk found`. I've tried multiple times with the same result. <dajole>I'm a little confounded at what could be going wrong. Is this a bug in the image / installer? Given that I had previously installed Guix on the same computer, and given the hard drive is wiped as part of the installation, it doesn't seem like the system itself could be the issue. Any ideas? <dajole>Yesterday someone mentioned the generated config and grub.cfg would be helpful for debugging. Is there a more straight-forward way of getting these from the non-booting system other than booting from usb, manually copying the files to the usb stick and then transferring them to another comupter? <ieure>dajole, Weird, I've never run into that. <wakyct>dajole, is the whole drive wiped? There's not some other older partition or boot partition? <dajole>In the installer step it told me all old partitions would be removed (if I recall correctly) <dajole>I just double-checked, and it looks like using the guided partitioning selecting a single partition should overwrite all existing ones. <dajole>Hm...perhaps I'll try doing the partitioning and encryption manually. <COMPL_EXE>Does the image only support booting with a microSD card right now?
