Install all at once?

[Vistaus]

Thank you so much for this! This is really cool and I really want to try it out (yes, I'm aware of the dragons and I don't mind)! But I don't really see a way to install all of the packages at once. Am I missing something or do I need to install the packages one by one? And if so, in what order?

Edit: I tried running sudo ./test_build.sh but it doesn't do anything.

[W-Floyd]

Hey, glad you're interested!

So I should really document my janky build setup better, but here goes:

The install_list file is a list of reasonable packages to install for the "full" Deepin setup (or, what I've got, anyway). If you're just looking to build with no fuss, then try:

while read -r __package; do
./test_build.sh "${__package}"
done < 'install_list'

That will build all of the listed packages, along with all of their rundeps. You'll want to do that under su probably, since it'll ask for permissions otherwise. Once that's done, you can do sudo ./test_install.sh --file and it'll install everything (sudo ./test_install.sh -u would uninstall).

As you said, you're aware of the dragons lurking here. Big one right now would be that it'll uninstall GDM and replace it with LightDM if it needs to.

I'm happy to explain/fix things if you need anything!

[Vistaus]

@W-Floyd Thanks for your reply! :)

I executed the first command (the "while read -r [...]" one), but it fails :(

[W-Floyd]

Oof, yeah, my bad

Run git clone https://dev.solus-project.com/source/common.git, then:

ln -sv common/Makefile.common .
ln -sv common/Makefile.toplevel Makefile
ln -sv common/Makefile.iso .

Edit: I just pushed something so you shouldn't need to do that last block.

[W-Floyd]

Also, you might want to change the ./test_build.sh "${__package}" to ./test_build.sh --no-delete "${__package}", otherwise it might rebuild some of the packages for no purpose (though it should be okay in this case)

[Vistaus]

Thank you so much! The build succeeded and everything's installed! However, I see no Deepin session. Note that I am using SDDM. Do I need to install LightDM for the session to show up?

[W-Floyd]

Hmm... I assume you've restarted?

~It will probably want LightDM though, as a guess.~ Maybe not, should be fine...

[Vistaus]

Yeah, it now works with LightDM. However, the settings don't really seem to work. Everything's huge (even though my screen is 1920x1080) and I can't change the size nor the fonts. Is that supposed to work or is that one of the current issues with Deepin on Solus?

[W-Floyd]

Hmm, it has been fine on my end. Can you screenshot?

[Vistaus]

Well, I managed to scale everything down now, however, I still can't change the font or font size. Also, upon logging in it keeps asking for my Wi-Fi password, it doesn't seem to remember it? And Vivaldi also wants me to relogin on every website after logging into the Deepin session. I knew it would be buggy, but I expected these basic things to work correctly :P

[W-Floyd]

Yeah, dunno. Scaling has been an issue for me before going the other way, that is, I have 4K and similar, and it doesn't always like to behave scaling up.

The password stuff sounds... interesting. Not sure I can help you there. I have been running it from a GNOME system with my packages installed on top, so there are probably some things inherited from that which it uses, but I don't realize.

[Vistaus]

For some reason, it did remember my Wi-Fi password this time so it's a bit buggy.

Also, the system language can't be changed through the control center and the keyboard layout isn't respected either. Are those features working for you?

[W-Floyd]

Hmm, I use US English, and it seemed to do that just fine for me. I can check that part though.

[Vistaus]

It's accidentally set to Dutch, but I want to use US English like I'm used to.

Also, the keyboard layout is respected but it's a bit buggy: after opening the lid of my laptop, it doesn't respect the layout, but after logging out and back in, it's respected again. Not sure what that's about.

[W-Floyd]

That's weird, I can't change my language to anything except US English.

The keyboard part, yeah, I could log out and in, and it remembered, can't test the laptop bit though.

[Vistaus]

It's also pretty strange that you can't manually force-set a language through dconf-editor. Almost all of Deepin's settings are exposed through dconf-editor, except the language screen settings. If I could just do that, the issue would be solved.

[W-Floyd]

For sure, just add it to the pile XD

Try Win+Shift+Tab maybe? That switches between their Metacity fork and their blur-enabled Mutter fork. Also, if you're in a VM (doesn't sound like it), it won't work properly either.

[Vistaus]

I'm not in a VM. I did something wrong, it's back now. I'll close this issue as this has long been solved now and I'll start a new one with all of the issues I encounter :P

[W-Floyd]

Yup... welcome to the thrilling world that is Deepin on Solus :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

[Vistaus]

Haha :D

[W-Floyd]

Sounds good, opening issues. Mind you, I'm going to have less time to put into this in future, I'll be starting into University middle of next month, but... we'll see. It's still just a fun hobby project, at this point.

[Vistaus]

I'll just report everything I come across and if you can fix the issues, that'd be nice, but if you can't, then that's okay too. University is more important than fixing issues in a hobby project :)

[Vistaus]

Hmm, installing doesn't work anymore. I spent the last hour or so building everything with

while read -r __package; do ./test_build.sh --no-delete "${__package}" done < 'install_list'

and now it says that the packages don't exist :/ Never had this before, last time I used your packages, it installed fine. All of the packages are built and available in the subsequent subdirectories as eopkg files.

Deepin-image-viewer is currently failing to build it seems. Temporary solution is to remove it from the install_list

That seems to make it work, thanks :)

[Vistaus]

Btw, is there any way to update only the updated packages? Up till now, I just re-cloned the repo every time, but as a result, it starts building everything from scratch. So is there any way to update only what's actually updated?

[W-Floyd]

Yeah, I'll look into it for you, but it shouldn't take much. I tend to push things only that need to be rebuilt. It's in a state of flux right now, I'll tell you when you're good to go.
