They implement the KDE Display Environment (Plasma 5). &lfs10_checked; The instructions below build all of the Plasma 5 packages in one step by using a bash script. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &plasma5-md5sum; Download size: &plasma5-size; Estimated disk space required: &plasma5-buildsize; Estimated build time: &plasma5-time; Plasma 5 Dependencies Required , , , , , , built with , , , , , , , and Recommended , , , , , , , , and Optional , , , appstream-qt, KDevPlatform, libgps, libhybris, libraw1394, mockcpp, packagekit-qt, Qalculate, Qapt, SCIM, and socat (for pam_kwallet) User Notes: Downloading KDE Plasma5 The easiest way to get the KDE Plasma5 packages is to use a single wget to fetch them all at once: url=http://download.kde.org/stable/plasma/&plasma5-version;/ wget -r -nH -nd -A '*.xz' -np $url 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 Setting Package Order The order of building files is important due to internal dependencies. Create the list of files in the proper order as follows: cat > plasma-&plasma5-version;.md5 << "EOF" 018aa45f5cf8e43e7a20618928affebe kdecoration-5.19.4.tar.xz 3f371e5e60fb8e884af6c6ee247b0e8d libkscreen-5.19.4.tar.xz 5cafda895bbfa0c06e93c53616b89700 libksysguard-5.19.4.tar.xz 108b5e62a2abca19fcfa3b4ff8f131f3 breeze-5.19.4.tar.xz 2cb9cf02aa9e3c2b8e676165b99f8774 breeze-gtk-5.19.4.tar.xz 67ac644f6ef96bf5b83066022345b4e0 kscreenlocker-5.19.4.tar.xz 0df5f8e9868151a2899ba81f5dec567b oxygen-5.19.4.tar.xz d1ce45d4d530d1257416ad1c0ff0286f kinfocenter-5.19.4.tar.xz 79a948dbf0bb8c83f1f2ee17efd61385 ksysguard-5.19.4.tar.xz 4be1ba7337efe304d0b41a899edc5dc5 kwayland-server-5.19.4.tar.xz 197cadd24436310957258d2b40244ae8 kwin-5.19.4.tar.xz 15d58fbcfcf42d86629af7a77860e5a3 plasma-workspace-5.19.4.tar.xz 6a6d4347ea08f7dbce275fec3931bf26 bluedevil-5.19.4.tar.xz 972626bf6107585561f9f6335d3f8e16 kde-gtk-config-5.19.4.tar.xz b73b47db04afcb39c6a5547fc4b715dc khotkeys-5.19.4.tar.xz 0b8fa3d76cb2b6f87d3d76884773d5b5 kmenuedit-5.19.4.tar.xz 60223cfe9581d0913a421877a1946dab kscreen-5.19.4.tar.xz a89d3e90f4595b2acb7d911584f1883d kwallet-pam-5.19.4.tar.xz b471f4de79180257d05baebb6b9b587e kwayland-integration-5.19.4.tar.xz 96faee06be1d88890c421b4d6334b783 kwrited-5.19.4.tar.xz edcdefa304ed8df4d89e2bb48cb1cdd2 milou-5.19.4.tar.xz a5af79f15adec8b2dd19ce286e575691 plasma-nm-5.19.4.tar.xz f6eff79bb6a683e66208228ff566c116 plasma-pa-5.19.4.tar.xz 569c55902960eda4658634bac40dd22e plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.19.4.tar.xz 0a3f401968a27c3ae5caec07064c2343 polkit-kde-agent-1-5.19.4.tar.xz 9a2c2cbd8df0d5ce5133b842fa5ed636 powerdevil-5.19.4.tar.xz 1f1ea5c20ef9b90f106a2d25a7128a35 plasma-desktop-5.19.4.tar.xz a8fefae0ae99a25f31c798b921d42564 kdeplasma-addons-5.19.4.tar.xz 3344cda599e9a33c510c9113f9da3948 kgamma5-5.19.4.tar.xz e490ae9cef3e092124047dbbbcf0a3e5 ksshaskpass-5.19.4.tar.xz #e211c0b303736f2c913f7eee4b112792 plasma-sdk-5.19.4.tar.xz da829188c6b8c5116cb156b388adf1b8 sddm-kcm-5.19.4.tar.xz 0787296981e74adb829df253e6cd8a82 user-manager-5.19.4.tar.xz 99e3c88039d905aeee25984807d04f22 discover-5.19.4.tar.xz #70f67b313e08ff3735c5dabcc4d34d2f breeze-grub-5.19.4.tar.xz #a38f1c99c6f43ce767a978319f87a011 breeze-plymouth-5.19.4.tar.xz c2340132ae128347a83fa8748a46ed9d kactivitymanagerd-5.19.4.tar.xz 10fea9aa0c4a74dce276bd006f56fdc0 plasma-integration-5.19.4.tar.xz 7645d39b27be8f378b2fe66a9e7a4734 plasma-tests-5.19.4.tar.xz #74b4d61d44f5181e06fb5ae467f84d2d plymouth-kcm-5.19.4.tar.xz a4831d1a9f75b378e690daa07a543a88 xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.19.4.tar.xz 39c97b134ab62d432187b2fadccacc11 drkonqi-5.19.4.tar.xz b74993d79c92e8e39cf4910b2401c8f2 plasma-vault-5.19.4.tar.xz b43af2c7267fcfd591c9b3d1b94dfa80 plasma-browser-integration-5.19.4.tar.xz d0aa151e8dfe37bc412bf4a9fdfa027d kde-cli-tools-5.19.4.tar.xz 5d0d2934a79dcd46e10165812ea69cc9 systemsettings-5.19.4.tar.xz 3e05594393cba476cf41c9001fe152f5 plasma-thunderbolt-5.19.4.tar.xz #6fcb468827748d81a3d79a862e80ee52 plasma-nano-5.19.4.tar.xz #13d0a1017e9a44fc91b27147866ff36b plasma-phone-components-5.19.4.tar.xz EOF The breeze-grub, breeze-plymouth, and plymouth-kcm packages above are all for customized support of Plymouth which is designed to be run within an initial ram disk during boot (see ). The plasma-sdk package is optional and used for software development. The plasma-nano package is used for embedded systems and plasma-phone-components provides phone functionality for Plasma. Installation of Plasma5 &as_root; First, start a subshell that will exit on error: bash -e Install all of the packages by running the following commands: while read -r line; do # Get the file name, ignoring comments and blank lines if $(echo $line | grep -E -q '^ *$|^#' ); then continue; fi file=$(echo $line | cut -d" " -f2) pkg=$(echo $file|sed 's|^.*/||') # Remove directory packagedir=$(echo $pkg|sed 's|\.tar.*||') # Package directory tar -xf $file pushd $packagedir # Fix some build issues when generating some configuration files case $name in plasma-workspace) sed -i '/set.HAVE_X11/a set(X11_FOUND 1)' CMakeLists.txt ;; khotkeys) sed -i '/X11Extras/a set(X11_FOUND 1)' CMakeLists.txt ;; plasma-desktop) sed -i '/X11.h)/i set(X11_FOUND 1)' CMakeLists.txt ;; esac mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF5_PREFIX \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \ -Wno-dev .. && make as_root make install popd as_root rm -rf $packagedir as_root /sbin/ldconfig done < plasma-&plasma5-version;.md5 exit If you did not set $KF5_PREFIX to /usr, create symlinks to allow display managers to find Plasma: as_root install -dvm 755 /usr/share/xsessions && cd /usr/share/xsessions/ && [ -e plasma.desktop ] || as_root ln -sfv $KF5_PREFIX/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop && as_root install -dvm 755 /usr/share/wayland-sessions && cd /usr/share/wayland-sessions/ && [ -e plasmawayland.desktop ] || as_root ln -sfv $KF5_PREFIX/share/wayland-sessions/plasmawayland.desktop Configuring Plasma Linux PAM Configuration If you built Plasma with the recommended Linux PAM support, create necessary configuration files by running the following commands as the root user: cat > /etc/pam.d/kde << "EOF" # Begin /etc/pam.d/kde auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet auth include system-auth account include system-account password include system-password session include system-session # End /etc/pam.d/kde EOF cat > /etc/pam.d/kde-np << "EOF" # Begin /etc/pam.d/kde-np auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet auth required pam_permit.so account include system-account password include system-password session include system-session # End /etc/pam.d/kde-np EOF cat > /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver << "EOF" # Begin /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver auth include system-auth account include system-account # End /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver EOF Starting Plasma5 You can start Plasma5 from runlevel 3, using , or from runlevel 5, using a Display Manager, such as . You can start Plasma5 from a TTY, using . To start Plasma 5 using , run the following commands: cat > ~/.xinitrc << "EOF" dbus-launch --exit-with-session $KF5_PREFIX/bin/startplasma-x11 EOF startx The X session starts on the first unused virtual terminal, normally vt7. You can switch to another vtn simultaneously pressing the keys Ctrl-Alt-Fn (n=1, 2, ...). To switch back to the X session, normally started at vt7, use Ctrl-Alt-F7. The vt where the command startx 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: startx &> ~/x-session-errors 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). If you intend to start Plasma using a display manager such as , there will be two entries for Plasma, one for use with Xorg, and another for Wayland. Modify the Xorg entry with the following command, as the root user, so that you can differentiate between the two: sed '/^Name=/s/Plasma/Plasma on Xorg/' -i /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop Contents Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories There are too many plasma programs (50 in /opt/kf5/bin) to list separately here. There are too many plasma libraries (39 in /opt/kf5/lib) to list separately here. There are too many plasma directories (over 1000 in /opt/kf5) to list separately here.
