bug#35690: Installer error: Unable to locate keymap update file

[Lorem Ipsum]

Hi,

If I read the gpg output correctly, then it downloaded okay.  My experience with gpg is limited, so here is the exact output of --verify:

mintty screen dump

$ gpg --verify guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz.sig                
gpg: assuming signed data in 'guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz'    
gpg: Signature made Wed, May  1, 2019  4:12:23 PM EDT

gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!               
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.   
Primary key fingerprint: 3CE4 6455 8A84 FDC6 9DB4  0CFB 090B 1199 3D9A EBB5     

The SHA512 I generated was:

mintty screen dump

$ sha512sum guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_64-linux.iso

51fc99459639a2f8d340204a5946bc5f921a402bf11bb8e3 *guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_
64-linux.iso                                                                    

Regarding the "retry" option in the installer, I can't say whether or not I used it.  I attempted several times with various configurations and don't recall the specific one which produced the output I gave you.

Anecdotally, I can say that "Unable to locate keymap" error occurred whenever MATE was selected for my DE.  I was able to complete the install without a problem for GNOME, Enlightenment, and OpenBox.

Thank you for assisting me,

Matt

please also confirm you have verified the authenticity of the image as
shown in
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/USB-Stick-and-DVD-Installation.html

also please show the sha512 checksum of the uncompressed iso image, if
you can

it (rarely) happens that the downloaded image gets corrupted somewhere
in the process

Gratias tibi ago! Gio'
