It has been derived from the monolithic KDE 4 desktop. They implement the KDE Display Environment (Plasma 5). &lfs78_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 , , , , (built with qt5), , and Recommended , , , , , , and Optional , , ibus, libgps, libhybris, libraw1394, mockcpp, Qalculate, Qapt, and SCIM User Notes: 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 --cut-dirs=3 -A '*.xz' -np $url The options used here are: -r recurse through child directories -nH disable generation of host-prefixed directories --cut-dirs=3 remove three levels of directories when saving -A '*.xz' just get the *.xz files -np don't get parent directories 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" 3a56e727477dc28d51c10d5d2eb91dc2 kde-cli-tools-5.5.4.tar.xz f30791e38e7eccd5b6a8643d606d4e3b kdecoration-5.5.4.tar.xz c0e92aa7fd9f868bb565b5d39a382d81 kwayland-5.5.4.tar.xz bc23b108f5e5dccdc03183e4b72c354d libkscreen-5.5.4.tar.xz af74ab9d18f156c16c542892c9148731 libksysguard-5.5.4.tar.xz e284a850879f33ccbfea22fae5d93a6e breeze-5.5.4.tar.xz d7bcd2d966533519ca7bd7c8d83f2490 breeze-gtk-5.5.4.tar.xz 5073ee898dac459f53200daba96d73ba kscreenlocker-5.5.4.tar.xz d79eaaf8d24918a7a3dd0e95bf4f7b95 oxygen-5.5.4.tar.xz e47e2afb0bdef8733408467d24199694 khelpcenter-5.5.4.tar.xz 4eddff6767cf1a2d47b6ddf711a4655e kinfocenter-5.5.4.tar.xz 36158a670305ecd8ef29415448917d5a ksysguard-5.5.4.tar.xz d719b7258a5fa9bf2dae770a20fa4e2d kwin-5.5.4.tar.xz d745f6cd41f9d248fda24db9d491d973 systemsettings-5.5.4.tar.xz e6450622646f5361a71830912320fd64 plasma-workspace-5.5.4.tar.xz 725f2046c787929d71162dada5fd1bf3 bluedevil-5.5.4.tar.xz 6a3a8e2dc4c19205802d3cee52f21abc kde-gtk-config-5.5.4.tar.xz 7dae9526e136fd1a842f83c33a703acb khotkeys-5.5.4.tar.xz 6b4f74c63e78f019d9a7e219ebf2b57e kmenuedit-5.5.4.tar.xz 6a353bae593f9519773be8f9529adb1f kscreen-5.5.4.tar.xz b744d8f115ef2d2764d83a9fe9071957 kwallet-pam-5.5.4.tar.xz 5a2b6d89e9ae11abe0d4b04c372fbaa8 kwayland-integration-5.5.4.tar.xz d2eb5b40976639f3571bc5cee74854c9 kwrited-5.5.4.tar.xz 4719f8c76bc8b7bdca544fdaf5e836a9 milou-5.5.4.tar.xz 70287df57f1869801d4cab8179c20f2e plasma-nm-5.5.4.tar.xz bfc8507bf610b8738047bf59c4e32327 plasma-pa-5.5.4.tar.xz 996d8eb8b7a0a4ed26d13d09a0038709 plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.5.4.tar.xz 3236cf46b260b7c3bcbc22fecfda0aca polkit-kde-agent-1-5.5.4.tar.xz 4822113c9a2366e8ec406d6e709ed2c5 powerdevil-5.5.4.tar.xz 2ec4ddd309582c91c39f1921415cc059 plasma-desktop-5.5.4.tar.xz 1265fb2c9e28437dda3c5af00102e041 kdeplasma-addons-5.5.4.tar.xz a6d759ea14f106701202b8c536dfb62c kgamma5-5.5.4.tar.xz 90793d76613ed4f3a2f46c2c417527ed ksshaskpass-5.5.4.tar.xz 4a1a4a6b6196d3f115de53a6d220f9cd plasma-mediacenter-5.5.4.tar.xz 03ab7ffd49c9c6cd266f43b6b1b31571 plasma-sdk-5.5.4.tar.xz 0cc50236023b0baf02ccbcd4e373337a sddm-kcm-5.5.4.tar.xz f545a6e63b0953b777a1709f6f6f9248 user-manager-5.5.4.tar.xz 277ad0f67e0b101d109e93a03902bf49 discover-5.5.4.tar.xz EOF &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 mkdir build cd build OPTS="" case $srcdir in kwayland-&plasma5-version; ) OPTS="-DECM_MKSPECS_INSTALL_DIR=$KF5_PREFIX/share/mkspecs/modules" ;; esac cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF5_PREFIX \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=lib \ -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \ $OPTS \ -Wno-dev .. && make as_root make install popd rm -rf $packagedir as_root /sbin/ldconfig done < plasma-&plasma5-version;.md5 exit cd $KF5_PREFIX/share/plasma/plasmoids for j in $(find -name \*.js); do as_root ln -sfv ../code/$(basename $j) $(dirname $j)/../ui/ done ln -sfv ../code/$(basename $j) $(dirname $j)/../ui/: Create symbolic links so qml files can find needed javascript modules. If you have KDE4 installed as well as Plasma 5, make sure the PATH environment setting has the Plasma 5 binaries before the KDE4 entry. You can ensure this by running: pathprepend /opt/kf5/bin before running startx. You can start Plasma5 from runlevel 3, using , or from runlevel 5, using a Display Manager, such as . To start Plasma 5 using , run the following commands: cat > ~/.xinitrc << "EOF" ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session $KF5_PREFIX/bin/startkde 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 You may wish to drop consolekit and/or dbus-launch, e.g., just using startkde in ~/.xinitrc. However some capabilities such as mounting or umounting file systems from a file manager will not be possible, or the reboot option may be absent or inoperative, among other problems. 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).
