Installing deepin from latest netinst.iso, bright white screen

[dance707]

Installing deepin using Fedora netinst-x86_64-30-20190312.n.0.iso and selecting Base Environment Deepin Desktop. Boots up to a bright white screen. Open tty and install lightdm-gtk and then boots okay to login screen.

Please choose Deepin Desktop on the left side.

Did you read the full issue before you close this ? When you do a net install and choose Deepin Desktop on the left side . It will install and then boot to a white screen. I open tty and install lightdm-gtk then it will show a login screen when I boot up.

Sorry. I mistook your words. I will have 20190312 a try. I tested 20190301 which installed smoothly.

[dance707]

Just trying to help here. I have 3 fedora deepins. all failed. 2 of them using server-netinst-x86_64-30-20190312.n.0.iso and 1 using workstation-netinst-x86_64-30-20190312.n.0.iso doing clean install of deepin only Your previous install's may have had elementary-greeter, so lightdm-gtk was not needed then.

I can't reproduce this situation. Which version of deepin-session-ui is installed after your installation?

It should be 4.8.11-2.fc30. Then lightdm-gtk and elementary-greeter both are not needed. deepin-session-ui provides a deepin-based greeter itself.

[dance707]

Here it consistently reproduces the problem. I have older equipment though, this does not occur on my Arch deepin or my official Debian deepin.

Yes deepin-session-ui is 4.8.11-2.fc30 and it does throw 2 qt errors on a dnf update Skipping packages with conflicts: (add '--best --allowerasing' to command line to force their upgrade): qt5-qtbase-gui x86_64 5.12.1-2.fc30 updates-testing 5.7 M Skipping packages with broken dependencies: deepin-file-manager x86_64 4.7.7-2.fc30 updates-testing 3.2 M

Is there any coredump of deepin programs? Run 'coredumpctl' to see.

Is the desktop able to log in if using other greeter?

[dance707]

No coredumps found. Other greeter ? I tried sddm windows manager but there is no user name when the log in screen appears. This issue is especially a problem on a wireless install, then have to find an offline fix. Though I am able to work around the problem . I just posted it here in github so maybe it will help others

Do you have updates-testing repo enabled?

Is it enabled by default? Shouldn't be so on a released Fedora version, but Fedora 30 is in beta(?) so not sure.

Can you try with updates-testing disabled?

updates-testing was enabled by default on the netinst I do not see an option to disable updates-testing repo on a network install.

I suppose it might be possible to downgrade updates-testing packages after the first log in .

I edited this to add that I do remember a few weeks ago that I had a similar issue when I removed elementary-greeter., that also removed a lot of packages. I was rather surprised to see that the deepin desktop network install did Not install elementary-greeter like the rawhide iso had before.

Fedora posted this page on their WIKI It shows a download link for all the other desktops Live ISO but no deepin on this page. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_30_Branched_20190312.n.0_Installation?rd=Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test It also says do not do updates if you going to report a test case.

Deepin Live ISO is not planed for Fedora 30, may be for Fedora 31.

Okay thank you. Users that want to try Deepin desktop will need to do a net install or a manual install.

Personally I do not understand why previous manual installs pulled in elementary-greeter and elementary-wallpapers. I always removed those.

deepin-session-ui requires lightdm and lightdm requires at least one package that provides lightdm-greeter. With deepin-session-ui >= 4.8.11-2.fc30, deepin-session-ui provides a lightdm-greeter itself. But with deepin-session-ui < 4.8.11-2.fc30, dnf has to find other package that provides lightdm-greeter and occasionally elementary-greeter is chosen to satisfy this requirement. So if you have deepin-session-ui >= 4.8.11-2.fc30, elementary-greeter can be deleted.

The latest net install server-netinst-x86_64-30-20190316n.1 works good here for deepin

Happening again on Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-33-1.2.iso
