Google Chrome not updating in Deepin Linux after release update to 20.9
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).

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Google Chrome keeps complaining, correctly, about being outdated and suggests updating but clicking the message only opens the link above to download yhe installer.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 faced a similar issue when I used to run Ubuntu 18.04, so I knew that I could run wifi using terminal. When I ran
I have totally wasted my 6 hours trying to fix it myself. I tried
sudo dnf remove "Deepin Desktop"
.
Now, today when I booted up my laptop, I saw no option for WiFi which usually appears on the top right drop down menu.

ifconfig -a
, I got this;

But no wireless card is detected in this. So I went to WiFi settings, where I found the message shown below.

sudo dnf install broadcom-wl
and then sudo dnf update
and finally rebooted, but nothing worked.
It all happened after removing Deeping Desktop Environment yesterday. Even after removing it yesterday, the WiFi worked for as long as I didn't shut down the laptop. Today, as I booted it up, nothing, the WiFi was gone.
Please help me with this issue.
EDITS:
Some points worth mentioning.
1. I am on dual boot (Windows 10 and Fedora 30) and WiFi is perfectly working on Windows.
2. As of yesterday, after removing Deepin, I had 3 other DE -> a.) GNOME b.) GNOME Xorg c.) GNOME classic. Today, GNOME Classic is also missing.
Its like my system has got messed up!

Kernel panic following GLIBC upgrade
I was trying to install software on Deepin Linux 20 that required an higher version of GLIBC.

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

recently I switched from **zorin os** to **deepin 20** for it's outstanding UI and eases of use for daily operations.
it's almost OK but if I need some newer packages which are not listed in official deepin repositories, I have to use some community installer scripts that rely on this command to obtain the correct linux LSB version :
-c
the problem is : **the return value is "n/a"** that consequently, breaks down the installation process. how can I fix this ?

I have just installed "Deepin 20" and it is running fine. Now issue is that when I delete a file by pressing a Delete button then it deletes file immediately. If I delete it with
shift+delete
then it shows confirmation but it delete it permanently. I just want that it should show a confirmation popup then it should proceed and not delete permanently. I have tried to place alias rm='rm –I' in ~/.bashrc but it does not work. If there is a solution for this then kindly provide it.

How can I increase the maximum number of workspaces on Deepin 15.11?
I already tried both **com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences.num-workspaces** and **org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences.num-workspaces** to 16 on dconf-editor and then rebooting my computer, but still I can create more than 4 workspaces. Am I missing something?
