I installed deepin on Arch (fresh install) and it just isn't working, I can't log in, when I start the lightdm.service, it just shows blank white screen. I haven't enable the service yet. I was just checking if it worked and its not working.

There might be an issue with the lightdm-deepin-greeter.

Install an alternative greeter, e.g lightdm-gtk-greeter

sudo pacman -S lightdm-gtk-greeter

Then edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Look for the line that is like greeter-session=lightdm-deepin-greeter or the value could be something else change it to

greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter

Save, ctrl-x, y, [enter]

Stop & start the lightdm.service and see if that works.

systemctl stop lightdm
systemctl start lightdm

Regards.

Turn out I have not create a non root user, fixed by:

useradd -m newuser
passwd newuser
systemctl restart lightdm
