Deepin Manjaro waiting room

They are actively working on it, so I suspect we will get a functional version eventually. However, when? That’s a different matter.

Nope, life doesn’t work like that.

If you fail to deliver a working product in a reasonable time frame, the product will be gone.

Clients and investors will lose hope on you, and move their attention and money to something else.

I gave up with this. Installed Manjaro Gnome.

haviing issues updating its giving following error’

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

If you’re interested in reading more about what has been going on with Manjaro Deepin, you can read it on the archived forum:

I suppose that means you used a really old deepin image and so you need to manually intervene as per arch packaging compression change
as seen here:
https://www.archlinux.org/news/now-using-zstandard-instead-of-xz-for-package-compression/
which points to this from 2019:
https://www.archlinux.org/news/required-update-to-recent-libarchive/

I believe the update announcements still post the steps to migrate.

But after you do that … deepin will still be broken.
Likely noticeably even more buggy than the live system you booted into.

This looks like a horribly outdated system…

Manjaro deepin is a community edition, so there are no clients or investors. Furthermore, it has been discontinued for quite some time now until further notice. It might be started again if deepin gets more stable on arch based systems, but currently it is just not feasible.

I was speaking about Deepin itself :wink:

Deepin won’t go away. There is an interest of the Chinese government in it. That is why it is not suitable for western world. We have to see if 20 will be available and when it will be stable enough to be usable.

Is there a way to donate @felixonmars for his great job for arch linux deepin?

@parkwoods

You really should be using ``` or <code>, because now everyone has to scroll through your whole entire package list to get to the next comment.

Hmm, gnome is alright. But try to compare dde system monitor to gnome counterpart, it’s like a fifteen years leap in terms of design. Gnome would be great 10 years ago, but now it’s just lacking.

I like of the dde design. But the beautiful of dde does not put money on my wallet. I know that I shouldn’t using a unstable distro like manjaro deepin to work, but I did not think that I could not login with my user even having two more desktops installed on my computer.

I tried to use gnome, kde and none of then worked. That’s make me think that maybe the dde is not the real problem that I was having. But ok, I installed it and now I can work. I have to find a time machine or something like that to situations like I was having.

Have you tried timeshift?

No, I never. Thank you so much, I will test it for sure.

As far as I know, deepin 20 has been released. Could you please provide the current status for Manjaro compatibility? Much appreciated :slight_smile:

Untested and unmaintained. It might work or might not.

Hello,
this is my first post in this forum. I’m running Manjaro Deepin on 2 PCs and one Thinkpad T440s since December 2017 and I’m very happy with the desktop!

Now updated the on Deepin 20 (on Manjaro 20.1, Kernel 4.19.126-1). No issues so far.

I hope that Deepin will soon be available again as a community version and an iso for download.
