  • 772

When I try to install deepin on Ubuntu 20.04 I get the following error:

How can I solve it?

I tried this :

apt-cache policy deepin-anything-dkms dde-file-manager  ubuntudde-dde  deepin-anything-server  ubuntudde-desktop  ubuntudde-dde-extras

It gave me :

  1. I think I fixed the issue. I found this website (in chinese, but you can translate using google), which seems to have a solution. This is linked to a problem with the deepin-anything-dkms package.

    In this link it asks you to download the kernel ver 5.8, but I did not had to do it to fix the problem. Focus on the last instructions:

    After inquiring, it should be deeping-anything ( https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-anything ) that the kernel module has a problem. The new version of the kernel has changed the structure, resulting in unsuccessful compilation. Modify its source code directly

    sudo gedit /var/lib/dkms/deepin-anything/0.0/source/vfs_change.c

    Modify time_t on line 128 to ktime_t

    Amend lines 336-343 as follows:

    static struct proc_ops procfs_ops = {
  .proc_open = open_vfs_changes,
  .proc_read = read_vfs_changes,
  .proc_ioctl = ioctl_vfs_changes,
  .proc_lseek = no_llseek,
  //.llseek = generic_file_llseek,
  .proc_release = release_vfs_changes,
};

    You can successfully install the 5.8 kernel by compiling.

    Keep it for yourself, or some people may need it. After executing these simple steps I executed the following command:

    sudo apt install sudo apt install deepin-anything-dkms

    And the issue seemed to be solved.

  2. This worked for me.
My kernel version was 5.13 

I updated it to latest.

Bang .... After reboot everything went fine.

    I followed this answer to update the kernel -https://askubuntu.com/a/1388117/1556074
