[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

I am using guix desktop for day to day usage for many months

Everything are working fine till linux-libre <= 5.4.19

But after linux-libre >= 5.4.20

1. No ethernet interface is shown only lo: is shown
2. gdm, Xorg totally stopped working
3. lvm command vgchange -ay taken forever and not able to create device
node in /dev/mapper

Presently for lvm support, I had added a mapper class with open/close method
for many months it is nicely working (It was a work around which work for
~6 volumes at boot time.)



I have attached my system config.scm and packages.scm with mail

I am not sure if it issue of

1. my configurations (which still work nicely with <= 5.4.19)

2. it is some issue in guix changes

3. or it linux kernel >= 5.4.20 is causing.

I had tried searching if somebody had reported it, when I have seen nobody
has reported it.

Thanks,

/sharad

Sam,

Sorry to hear that you're experiencing this problem. This sounds to me 
like it is actually the problem with the shepherd upgrade as describe in 
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/39671>, not with linux-libre.

If you want to verify that's the case, you can try reconfiguring with 
commit d39885a8a9e0e03c2bf6277d475d384168bba642 by running

`guix time-machine --commit=d39885a8a9e0e03c2bf6277d475d384168bba642 -- system reconfigure /path/to/config.scm`

That commit will have linux-libre 5.4.20, but not the new shepherd.

Best,
Jack

6 months have gone by, which suggests the issue is indeed fixed :-).

Closing.
