Hi guys ! Just did a fresh install of Deepin 2015.1 from the same USB stick I installed it some weeks ago. However this time, it seems like it does not want to recognize any updates, and it keeps telling me that my system is up to date. I know the first 2 updates are Patches and Chrome, they are not listed on this fresh install. Also the Deepin website and forum are loading very very slow for me and when I try to install anything from the Deepin Store is just not working, the speed is very very slow. Please help !

USA...i've tried changing the mirrors and still no updates available... I have installed the latest version of Deepin 2015.1 from this exact memory stick on several PC's and worked fine and immediately after the installation it would prompt for updates and would pick the best mirror with great speed. This time it is not behaving in the same manner.

I would try from the command line then. Open a terminal and type :

sudo apt-get update

Tried and 0 upgraded o newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

But every other time I did a fresh install of Deepin 2015.1 I had these 2 updates listed in Control Center : Chrome and Patches...and now they are not there. Did something change ?

Can anyone make a fresh install fast and please let me know if they are having the same issue ? Thanks !

I did a fresh install on a spare computer just the other day and it worked okay. I beginning to think that your fresh install might not have been done correctly. Because you should have a few updates and patches. Did the fresh install get installed to a different location on hard drive ?

Yes, it is on a different partition on my SSD I'm dual booting with windows 7.

Also just noticed, sometimes at restart it takes a long time to actually load the taskbar.

The terminal output looks okay finding http://packages.deepin.com
What I meant was that possible your reinstall was not the same spot as the Deepin was before. After reinstall was there any difference in your desktop ?

I also noticed that your time zone is incorrect on your desktop

When you reinstall you should select time zone first by selecting your location

Thanks, I will try to reinstall it. I will come back with the results.

LE : Could anyone please post a tutorial on how to install Deepin 2015.1 along with win 7 so dual boot works ? I've tried following tutorials from the web but I cannot create the 3 partitions, I can make the / and the /home but not the /swap for some reason...

Sorry I don't dual boot with windows. I think that topic has been covered previously in forum. I stop using windows many years ago.

The title of your post is no updates after install .Today there is a very large update from Deepin. To get better help you can search this forum or start a new post titled dual boot. And try to upload screen shots even if you have to use a cell phone.

Back with another install, this time just Deepin 2015.1 without dual boot, with a new bootable USB, with a formatted SSD drive, same issues, I think Deepin is having issues with their update servers. Right after the install is done it's just saying there is no new update and that my system is up to date.

I don't understand why your getting that there is no updates. Today there is many updates from Deepin. The update servers are very busy right now but that does not explain why your systems says no updates available.
You could try reporting this issue on Deepin User Feedback in your applications. But my guess that the problem is on your end. Are you trying to do more than 1 install ?
