I've recently set-up Linux on my pc (Deepin, a distro based on Debian). In that fresh set-up distro, I installed VSCode and unity since I'd like to play around with game development. VSCode since I saw some warnings somewhere, I also went to install dot net from the official Microsoft website which seems to be an old version "3.1". But even though .net is installed, I still get the following error when starting VSCode:
The reference assemblies for .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1 were not found. To resolve this, install the Developer Pack (SDK/Targeting Pack) for this framework version or retarget your application.
From a quick google, I found that installing mono should fix that error, but it apperently didn't. I tried rebooting, going thorugh the install process again, but the error stil appears. What am I doing wrong? Im new to game developing as well as working on linux, I just want to play around with that stuff. My mono -V:

This issues is on Manjaro Deepin 15.9 linux DE. When I run java -version in terminal it outputs this: Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: java version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15 LTS Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9-LTS, mixed mode) But if the command is run with sudo it outputs it normal **without** the Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: message ! I managed by placing unset JAVA_OPTIONS in /etc/environment , /etc/profile and ~.bashrc to remove the message from terminal. But the message still shows up in Netbeans when I run a project. Also I run Netbeans as sudo just to check will it show then and it didn’t. I tried removing some software from Linux which I didn’t need or believe made it was causing the message (because I read the few posts about software being an issue), but nothing changed. Message not showing in sudo makes me believe maybe root user doesn’t have something installed that normal user has which is producing this message. This message is visible in live preview of Manjaro Deepin on bootable usb!

I have a very strange error, it turns out that my Wi-Fi interface is not being managed by the Wi-Fi icon of my launcher in Deepin 15.5. It does not show me other Wi-Fi networks nearby, however the command iwlist wlp3s0 scan shows me several wifi, so the interface is up. It responds well to the use of ifconfig wlp3s0 up or down, however if I give it down it does not reflect it in the launcher of the wifi. It's as if my launcher was managing another interface through the network manager. It is uncomfortable because I have to connect to wpa_supplicant, it is clear that the device works. When I turn it off by the launcher in ifconfig -a it's still up. service networkin status return active(exited). Please help.

I have Bumblebee installed but it has a number of problems, not the least of which is being unable to use Vulkan. I tried following the instructions here , in addition to running # apt remove bumblebee*. I rebooted and was able to login with lightdm, but after that the display was black, so I reverted the changes using a different session not running X. Is there something I should do not spelled out in that linked page? It seems like it was written for those trying to set up their NVIDIA-optimus stack, not modify it. I'm running Deepin 15.4.1, which is based on Debian Sid, with slightly different package repositories.

I've tried every SO and regular article with instructions on changing the text/foreground colour of my terminal, but nothing works. I have a VM with Debian-based Linux Deepin and I have installed ZShell. But no matter zshell or bash, the text always stays signal green. I really would like to make it white. On my pycharm the terminal there shows white and I see a different icon at the beginning of the line, which is not the Linux icon I see in the regular terminal, so I think that one has a different terminal (forgive me, I don't know much about it yet). In my terminal I thought something is overriding the colors, I tried setting colours manually as well as enable the **force_color_prompt** and also tried setting up different options for **PS1**, **nothing works**. This happens in both zsh and bash shells. Here is a photo in both zsh and bash.

I recently installed Linux Deepin, I used it before without any problems, it is in perfect condition, the only problem is that every time I restart or shut down the system, this warning message appears, "Unattended Upgrades Shutdown -Stop ongoing upgrades or perform upgrades before shutdown The programs are preventing the computer from reboot, and forcing reboot may cause data loss. To close the program, click Cancel, and then close the program." As shown in the photo, I don't know what to do, every time I turn off normally but I wanted to know if there is any way to remove this warning. Thanks in advance!

I have just installed Arch with the Deepin desktop and whenever it shows a popup it only shows a blurry transparent box. Some of these boxes are interactive, I can move them around, click on buttons inside them and right click them to bring out more options. However I can not see anything they are saying, there is nothing but a blurry transparent box. The first image shows a popup window that appeared when I double clicked on another Disk in my computer, trying to mount it. Probably some sort of error message. Popup that probably says mounting not allowed The second image is after I right clicked the popup above. There is a second, smaller menu popup that is also transparent. However the contents of this menu show up at the top left corner of the screen. For some reason the contents are disconnected however I am happy that they at least appeared somewhere on the screen. Right clicking the pop up window is also bugged Whats weird is that this doesn't affect all popups, this third image has both a working popup and a not working one (below the working one). When I press the Recognize button I assume it is supposed to display a popup that has the name of the monitor however when I do that all I see is a transparent box. one popup window that works and one that doesn't

After release updating Deepin Linux to 20.9 and if you have previously installed Goggle Chrome you'll notice it can no longer be updated (specifically to version 112.xxx). Downloading and trying to install the usual .deb file from Google with the installer app results in a dependencies error. (Re-)adding the repository doesn't allow updates either. Google Chrome keeps complaining, correctly, about being outdated and suggests updating but clicking the message only opens the link above to download yhe installer. How can we update Google Chrome in the new Linux Deepin 20.9?

I have installed Zotero with .tarball as suggested [here](https://www.zotero.org/support/installation) , and the following is what I encountered: 1. I can launch zotero in terminal with /opt/zotero/zotero 2. I **cannot** launch zotero by clicking on the default .desktop file, where the exec parameter is configured as bash -c "$(dirname $(realpath $(echo %k | sed -e 's/^file:\/\///')))/zotero -url %U" 3. I can launch zotero in terminal with bash -c "$(dirname $(realpath $(echo %k | sed -e 's/^file:\/\///')))/zotero -url %U" 4. I can launch zotero by clicking the .desktop file where I reconfigure the exec parameter to bash -c /opt/zotero/zotero I don't know why the second one doesn't work. Is it the problem due to an application level, desktop environment level or something else? BTW, I'm using the deepin v20.8 distribution.

I was trying to install software on Deepin Linux 20 that required an higher version of GLIBC. I found a Stack Overflow question about how to do that and followed the instructions on some of the answers. Now whenever I try to boot the computer, the Deepin logo shows and freezes (it is supposed to be animated). The computer does not respond to any keystrokes, including the one to hide the logo and show the text output. How do I check boot logs or undo this change if I can't even boot to a terminal? I can boot to another system, but am not sure how I can repair the main one offline. After following a suggestion in the comments to remove quiet and splash from the boot options, I now have details about the issue. Towards the bottom, I have the line:
---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0007f00 ]---
I also have a line that I believe is causing the kernel panic:
/init: line 83: wait-for-root: not found
Another line that details the kernel panic:
/sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

**My Hardware & Software** --- Hardware : **HP Elitebook 2570p** ... Docking Station : **HP 2570 A9B77AA Docking Station** Software : **Debian based Linux Deepin V20.x** --- Thanks to Debian and Deepin, the docking station worked out of the box, it connects and works fine(USB ports and VGA ports have been tested) ... eSata however i've not been able to get it working(would appreciate if anybody directed me to a place which can help be get this working as well). As already stated connection and working is not an issue, But disconnecting and getting my laptop working off of the docking is big challenge to the point of Nightmare. I fear the Deepin's window manager(which uses KWIN)/Display Server may be causing this. **What I would look forward from the community ?** As the disconnection from my docking station isn't working, I would appreciate if the community helped me get my laptop dispossessed of the docking station high it goes into. When there is a power outage, its the worst of nightmares, as my laptop is rendered unusable until the power is back. besides of course disengaging the docking slider which also renders the laptop unusable. Any probing commands whose output you'd like to see off of my system, kindly post those commands in the comments section and i'll append my question with the additional data to help the community better diagnose the issue. Currently I've fiddle with the command kwin_x11 --replace - to restart kwin killall dde-dock - to reload the dock invoke the KB shortcut to toggle 'Windows Effect' setting ... in no specific order, sometimes it works and most other times it does not. Thanks for looking into the issue, appreciate and look forward to a way(a script or a set of commands that will let me disconnect my laptop from the docking station especially when there is a power outage) a bypass of sorts.
