    Hi all:
    Currently we have already identified the issue which caused boot failure. We will fix this issue by pushing a urgent update ASAP.
    • Please do not upgrade if you haven't yet.
    • For users who have upgraded and failed to boot the system, please fix the system by the following operation.


    Experience Installation
    To judge if it is experience installation: Click on me
    As debian upstream update which deleted vol_id tool, users who used Deepin Installer and installed experience installation can not boot the system after upgrading.

    If you have already upgraded and can not enter the system, please start up and enter initramfs interface (shown in the above picture).
    1. Search for the partition where deepin is installed, and execute:
    1. blkid
    Copy the Code

    The screenshot above was taken in Deepin Terminal, so it is a bit different from initramfs interface, if you can not tell which one is system partition, please try all the partitions.

    2. Manually mount the partition, execute:
    1. mount -t ntfs /dev/sdXX /host
    Copy the Code

    Please change /sdXX to your own installation partition, mine is /sda1.

    3. Reboot the system, execute:
    1. exit
    Copy the Code

    Now the system should be able to boot normally.

    Attention
    • Do not try the above method if you are not an experience installation user.
    • After successfully booting, please do not upgrade for now.
    • If you still can not boot, please reply this post and upload photos.

    Original Installation
    To judge if it is original installation: Click on me
    As debian updated Xorg in upstream, users who used Deepin Boot Maker for original installation will encounter driver failure and results in boot failure.
    If you have already upgraded and can not enter the system.

    Please startup and wait till it is ready (if you are not sure, please wait two minutes after system startup), press Ctrl + Alt + F1 to switch to tty1. Then login with your account (touch input your password and press enter, the password will not echo) and execute:
    1. wget http://packages.deepin.com/rpa/fix.sh  && sudo chmod  +x fix.sh && sudo ./fix.sh
    Copy the Code

    This script will automatically fix the system. After it is done (that is, no output and the cursor is in waiting-for-input status), then press Ctrl + Alt + Del to reboot.
    Now the system should be able to boot normally.

    Attention
    • Do not try the above method if you are not an original installation user.
    • After successfully booting, please do not upgrade for now.
    • If you still can not boot, please reply this post and upload photos.
