Hello,

Attempting to build the lightweight-desktop.tpml image configuration using:

$ guix system vm-image gnu/system/examples/lightweight-desktop.tmpl --verbosity=10 --no-offload

ends up crashing with:

The value of the --efi-directory argument (/fs/dev/vda) of the grub-install
command seems suspicious to me.

Thanks,

Fixed in 7a20c1676a8421f3ac06a2634a27c2837293df0b by mimicking what
‘virtualized-operating-system’ does.

Oh, I’ll address this one separately.
