    <title>Downloading KDE Plasma5</title>

    <para>
      The easiest way to get the KDE Plasma5 packages is to use a single
      <command>wget</command> to fetch them all at once:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>url=https://download.kde.org/stable/plasma/&plasma5-version;/
wget -r -nH -nd -A '*.xz' -np $url</userinput>
<literal>
The options used here are:
  -r            recurse through child directories
  -nH           disable generation of host-prefixed directories
  -nd           do not create a hierarchy of directories
  -A '*.xz'     just get the *.xz files
  -np           don't get parent directories</literal></screen>

    <title>Setting Package Order</title>

    <para>
      The order of building files is important due to internal dependencies.
      Create the list of files in the proper order as follows:

      <title>About Commented out Packages</title>
      <para>
        The breeze-grub, breeze-plymouth, and plymouth-kcm packages above are
        all for customized support of <ulink
            url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Plymouth/"
          >Plymouth</ulink>
        which is designed to be run within an initial ram disk during boot (see
        <xref linkend="initramfs"/>).
        The plasma-sdk package is optional and used for software development.
        The plasma-nano package is used for  embedded systems and
        plasma-mobile provides phone functionality for Plasma.
        The aura-browser package requires <xref linkend="qtwebengine"/>.
        The discover package requires <xref linkend="appstream"/> to be built
        with the -Dqt=true switch.
        The plasma-welcome package requires the external package
          <ulink url="https://download.kde.org/stable/release-service/&kf5apps-version;/src/">
        kaccounts-integration</ulink>.
        The flatpack-kcm package is for managing support of flatpack applications.

      (<emphasis>n</emphasis>=1, 2, ...).  To switch back to the X session,
      normally started at vt7, use Ctrl-Alt-F7. The vt where the command
      <command>startx</command> was executed will display many messages,
      including X starting messages, applications automatically started with
      the session, and eventually, some warning and error messages. You may
      prefer to redirect those messages to a log file, which not only will keep
      the initial vt uncluttered, but can also be used for debugging purposes. This
      can be done starting X with:
    </para>

    <screen role="nodump"><userinput>startx &amp;&gt; ~/x-session-errors</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      When shutting down or rebooting, the shutdown messages appear on the vt
      where X was running. If you wish to see those messages, simultaneously
      press keys Alt-F7 (assuming that X was running on vt7).

<!-- Now the entry is "plasma (X11)" for Xorg, so I guess this is
     not needed anymore:
    <para>
      If you intend to start <application>Plasma</application> using a
    display manager such as <xref linkend="lightdm"/>, there will be two entries
    for <application>Plasma</application>, one for use with
    <application>Xorg</application>, and another for
    <application>Wayland</application>. Modify the
    <application>Xorg</application> entry with the following command, as the
    <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user, so that you can
    differentiate between the two:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>sed '/^Name=/s/Plasma/Plasma on Xorg/' -i /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop</userinput></screen>
