Hello,

I tried installing the lastest image available on the website on my 
Thinkpad T420, but it gave a weird error at the end and it told me to 
report it here. I attached the error message as a photo to this email.

Cheers,
Sergiu

Sorry for not specifying extra details, I forgot: I used guided
partitioning for the whole disk. Selected XFCE as the only DE, the SSH
daemon and NSS certs as extra stuff, and the system language as
Romanian. Access to the internet was provided through an Ethernet cable.

Thanks for the report! This could be fixed by
154a4e046281c28e39b5016e965d3d937a2ea4a1.

Would it be possible for you to try to reproduce the issue with this
installation image: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/download/331.

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I think the issue has been indeed solved, 
as I retried installing Guix with the latest image from a few days ago and I 
didn't encounter this issue anymore. Thank you!
