Thanks :) I'm a bit clueless about this one. Here's the output:

and it hangs forever. Looks like the guix-daemon restart could be the
issue as it's the last thing that is logged. But hard to say for
sure. I cannot reproduce it while installing manually a system with all
DE and services enabled.

Having an ssh access to this VM would be nice, but I think you already
told me it was not possible. If you have any other idea, it would be
great :)

Thanks,
