Re: Last-minute testing

[Andy Patterson]

Hi Ludovic,

I tested it out last night. I got it to install; it boots fine; I can
log in as root; things work. Unfortunately I left out a password in my
config.scm for the user account I wanted to create. I tried changing
this quickly with passwd, but this caused the session manager to fail
when logging in as the user. This was because a home directory wasn't
created for my user; once I added one manually I was able to log in. I
also tried "guix system reconfigure" with a password added to
config.scm, but this failed when installing new packages. Unfortunately
I've lost the specific message I received; I can try it again tonight.
It might be nice to document for users that a password should be
supplied in the config file; I initially had hoped it would be empty.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to the release!

Andy
