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

Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.136ubuntu6.3) ...

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 :

  • Please add output of apt-cache policy deepin-anything-dkms dde-file-manager ubuntudde-dde deepin-anything-server ubuntudde-desktop ubuntudde-dde-extras to the question. Also try sudo apt-get install -f and add full error log of this command. – N0rbert Jan 06 '21 at 12:41
  • git clone https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-anything after you have the ubuntudde-dev/stable repo enabled (as you already have), enable source repo for it in the "Software Sources" or "Software and Updates" GUI program that comes with ubuntu (or use terminal to uncomment the line deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntudde-dev-ubuntu-stable-focal.list

    sudo apt-get build-dep deepin-anything-dkms cd deeping-anything dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b sudo dpkg --install ../deepin*.deb

    then try installing deepin again

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.

  • Can you explain what do we need to change if we are not using the old 5.8 kernel? – Atif Ali Feb 08 '22 at 13:01
  • This helped solving it, but the problem is, changes the source code under var/.../build are reseted when using apt install again, I added a comment the original post, as I'm not able to post answers in this community yet – Eyad Ahmed Aug 29 '22 at 01:01

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
