When I first tried to install one of the new build servers for
ci.guix.gnu.org I forgot that the firewall rules prevent these servers
from accessing ci.guix.gnu.org via its public IP address.  I started the
installation process and waited …

When I realized that I had to first add the internal IP to /etc/hosts I
decided to cancel the installation, but no matter from what angle I hit
Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Z I could not abort the installation — which I hope
would have eventually timed out.

You mean that Ctrl-C wouldn’t work on the ‘guix system init’ process,
right?  Is that behavior controlled by Newt, Mathieu?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hello,

Before running the guix process, newt is suspended and resumed right
after (see run-install-shell procedure). So it should reset the original
terminal settings. Maybe it doesn't, or it's an issue with kmscon.

I'll try to investigate.

Thanks,

Mathieu
