Every time I use the window effect on deepin desktop, the kwin closes unexpectedly. Also the windows and the bottom panel / dock are not translucent as they should be.
it is reported by others also that effects do not work, workaround is to install deepin-wm and uninstall deepin-kwin for the moment
and welcome at EndeavourOS, nice to sail with you!
I am also effected by this bug of deepin-kwin. Deepin-wm solved it temporarily.
not all effects will work after this, but mostly usable…
It will be a good idea to install LTS kernel and headers plus deepin-anything-dkms it can be that modules will brake on next update for you:
sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers deepin-anything-dkms
Downgrading the KDE dependecies worked for me. Though it’s only a temporary solution you can try this if you want deepin-kwin to work:
sudo pacman -S downgrade
downgrade "kactivities=5.74.0-1" "karchive=5.74.0-1" "kauth=5.74.0-1" "kbookmarks=5.74.0-1" "kcmutils=5.74.0-1" "kcodecs=5.74.0-1" "kcompletion=5.74.0-1" "kconfig=5.74.0-1" "kconfigwidgets=5.74.0-1" "kcoreaddons=5.74.0-1" "kcrash=5.74.0-1" "kdbusaddons=5.74.0-1" "kdeclarative=5.74.0-1" "kded=5.74.0-1" "kglobalaccel=5.74.0-1" "kguiaddons=5.74.0-1" "ki18n=5.74.0-1" "kiconthemes=5.74.0-1" "kidletime=5.74.0-1" "kio=5.74.0-1" "kirigami2=5.74.0-1" "kitemmodels=5.74.0-1" "kitemviews=5.74.0-1" "kjobwidgets=5.74.0-1" "knewstuff=5.74.0-1" "knotifications=5.74.0-1" "kpackage=5.74.0-1" "kservice=5.74.0-1" "ktextwidgets=5.74.0-1" "kwallet=5.74.0-1" "kwayland=5.74.0-1" "kwidgetsaddons=5.74.0-1" "kwindowsystem=5.74.0-1" "kxmlgui=5.74.0-1" "frameworkintegration=5.74.0-1" "networkmanager-qt=5.74.0-1" "plasma-framework=5.74.0-1" "kdecoration=5.19.5-1" "kscreenlocker=5.19.5-1" "kwayland-server=5.19.5-1" "kwin=5.19.5-2"
PS: Don’t use it if you also have KDE installed alongside.
The issue is tracked here: https://github.com/linuxdeepin/developer-center/issues/1945
Works for me also
however, panel is no longer rounded shape, it becomes square…
It has always been that way in version 20 Kwin.
Not used deepin in a while, went in the bin along with Winblows.
Deleting the kwin.rc file then rebooting used to fix this, or is it that far gone now
This issue seems to be fixed with the new deepin-kwin update.
i ćan confirm that here on a fresh vm install!
