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. > [@Deepin-kwin broke Window Effect](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/deepin-kwin-broke-window-effect/9045): > > Hello, I just installed EndeavourOS (clean install) in my laptop with Ryzen 5 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and AMD Radeon Vega GPU. My only DE is Deepin v20. I have all packages updated. Still “Window Effect/animation” is not working and I can’t even enable it from Control Center. ~/.configure/kwinrc showing: [compositing] Enabled= false OpenGLUnsafe = false If I edit the file and do “Enabled= true” - it automatically reverting back to “false” after few moments.

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](https://github.com/linuxdeepin/developer-center/issues/1945) ---

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. ---
