Hi,

On the 1.3.0 image, F1 to reboot just locks up the computer with a black screen. Necessary to hold down power button to force-power-off computer to restart it.

Using the GUIX snapshot image does not have this issue, reboot works normally with the later image.

Best,

Peter

Hi again!

Ouch.  Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.

Using the GUIX snapshot image does not have this issue, reboot works normally with the later image.

Unfortunately, the 1.3.0 image is just as much of a ‘snapshot’, although it was tested and presumably rebooted some (most?) hardware at the time.

It does not receive backported fixes or updates. That would require volunteer effort we currently lack. The good news is that the next (1.4.0) installer will equally be a tested snapshot of master, and hence should contain whatever fix makes the ‘latest’ ISO reboot properly for you.

Since there's nothing actionable to ‘fix’ within our current release workflow, I'm closing this bug, although does illustrate one weakness in said workflow.

Kind regards,

T G-R
