Deepin Desktop on PBP
#1
Sneak peak of Deepin running on Manjaro ARM.
In my opinion one of the most beautiful and complete DE's at the moment.

It indeed isn't, I compiled it from the x86 repos. I contacted Strit, but he thought there wasn't enough interest to include. I have compiled the packages though, they can be found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1S56Etp...sid1viVno_
Maybe sometime later, I will find the time to make a repo from it myself. If you install all these packages at once
Code:
pacman -U *
you should be fine.

Thanks!! ill check it out. How does it run? Been using it as your default on the PBP?

btw, do you know if anyones compiled arch amd64 packages for brave-browser? didnt turn up anything
#5
tried it. very nice. going to keep it for now. so does Deepin use kdm for the display manager on their OS or did you just not compile it for arm? Didn't see one in your packages
#6
I'm using it as my default, and it runs smooth. I tried running it with Panfrost as well, but then I notice some screen tearing in Chromium on Youtube.
For the display manager, I am still using lightdm. According to this website, it is still the default one in use: https://www.deepin.org/en/developer-comm...al-design/
Maybe the source of the confusion: Kwin is the new default, it should be the one in use on the Pinebook as well. I tried switching to deepin-wm (execute deepin-wm --replace if you want to try) but I found that it was running less smooth, but it is visually a bit more appealing.
#7
Are these files still available?
#8
Unfortunately not... I am sorry. I removed them when I could not catch up with Deepin V20 releasing.
However, you can normally just take the PKGBUILD from the x86_64 version and compile those - you should be fine Smile

Still a noob but thanks for the guidance, I'll try to make it happen, with allot of googling I'm sure!

Well what I did is went to this website
https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/deepin/
Here you have all the packages by name. Then use svn to check out the project tree of arch linux:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc..._using_SVN
Then you have a bunch of folders, if you go into those folder, you should be able to just run makepkg -s -i -A
A to ignore architecture (they are made for x86)
i to install it after build
s to sync dependencies
If you need more help, let me know Smile

PS sometimes you will have circular dependencies, just remove the dependency in the PKGBUILD, build it, build the others, restore the original PKGBUILD and build it again. Then you should be fine.

Hope this helps!
