%general-entities; ]> $Date$ KDE Plasma 5 KDE Plasma 5 is a collection of packages based on top of KDE Frameworks 5 and QML. They implement the KDE Display Environment (Plasma 5). &lfs101_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 Recommended (runtime) Optional , , , appstream-qt, KDevPlatform, libgps, libhybris, libraw1394, mockcpp, packagekit-qt, Qalculate, Qapt, SCIM, and socat (for pam_kwallet) User Notes: The easiest way to get the KDE Plasma5 packages is to use a single wget to fetch them all at once: url=https://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 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" b94892460a9cfe1664ecd1e254285849 kdecoration-5.22.1.tar.xz 18e02542b87f3d936c45f2423ce1fe80 libkscreen-5.22.1.tar.xz 831c221ec0d988e8d264a405512a251f libksysguard-5.22.1.tar.xz 7bc476b96f65b9a5bcba2fd54eedc4d9 breeze-5.22.1.tar.xz a128e672d86330336528b482f8ff33a9 breeze-gtk-5.22.1.tar.xz 874eab1bca3ca9673a445050b4746637 layer-shell-qt-5.22.1.tar.xz 94bd1cf5cca0d378b19926bb0e3036fc kscreenlocker-5.22.1.tar.xz c7e0ef8224eb580aa035b51cba0b63d1 oxygen-5.22.1.tar.xz fa40eff2f9e941cb6a77da812e973666 kinfocenter-5.22.1.tar.xz 7cda86a2c472a663dae635dbcac08553 kwayland-server-5.22.1.tar.xz 6149319d541eaff89ffff305b259faa4 kwin-5.22.1.tar.xz d2933e9d1a4ae2de40bb5937e7951791 plasma-workspace-5.22.1.tar.xz 69f39c490a95b1f336827f42cd0feea0 plasma-disks-5.22.1.tar.xz 77f08a94baacf616d919d995e245f56c bluedevil-5.22.1.tar.xz b4610ac61deb1996360d6c4451af4734 kde-gtk-config-5.22.1.tar.xz 1decbacec448cdd42974bbebed545fdf khotkeys-5.22.1.tar.xz b4e04666701fdcc9f663768f9b42f297 kmenuedit-5.22.1.tar.xz b888e1d936905bc3e5aea36788d86023 kscreen-5.22.1.tar.xz 7b83e914db66c4c86ace9f052d1a644d kwallet-pam-5.22.1.tar.xz d3cf7595e613aee35c7d0ad0ee5c51a3 kwayland-integration-5.22.1.tar.xz a34af5bfb97499d2a99011a823dd1a11 kwrited-5.22.1.tar.xz 1dbec1654fefd61cdacf115fcc91236d milou-5.22.1.tar.xz b391404db79efccd99869ba577240522 plasma-nm-5.22.1.tar.xz 5530b55795634f454876f365106ea065 plasma-pa-5.22.1.tar.xz b980ccb5cfe0c1bfdc283250d7b2f130 plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.22.1.tar.xz 0c3fcdf2ac6c9dc17422f1c527f47558 polkit-kde-agent-1-5.22.1.tar.xz ea9c6324ce9ee03202182afb31397545 powerdevil-5.22.1.tar.xz 9a3464909cacd130dfd8c933094d2399 plasma-desktop-5.22.1.tar.xz 92476c8f8fd8e40fa3b020993589b152 kdeplasma-addons-5.22.1.tar.xz 94086410aff644ef8c8bb07079fea822 kgamma5-5.22.1.tar.xz a0457e8cd66555b589e75bdfcfa985c1 ksshaskpass-5.22.1.tar.xz #8d1809121246ff9cf4a7c3a479c44a71 plasma-sdk-5.22.1.tar.xz 7f4e4aaa9af85e73edb4a0845a92750c sddm-kcm-5.22.1.tar.xz 443256fde9c7c99fef6b07653286889a discover-5.22.1.tar.xz #2288e8e85751fb2d0dbaacb1080ab1b0 breeze-grub-5.22.1.tar.xz #e3f6c3ab94e7b816852416fef3b91f09 breeze-plymouth-5.22.1.tar.xz 973c724942d8497cc6a08ba4e5320f3a kactivitymanagerd-5.22.1.tar.xz 88649ff927b250800fb3d731ce75367d plasma-integration-5.22.1.tar.xz 10098e2a4933cd20e2e7708ea34ca1cf plasma-tests-5.22.1.tar.xz #f5d9d6951b38a88dedcedd5520f1ed09 plymouth-kcm-5.22.1.tar.xz aac607dce5c3683ad1d6f2daeafb64fa xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.22.1.tar.xz 200f3c5093e3b9e21ddc6fd9645302de drkonqi-5.22.1.tar.xz e393e4b1e259a5ce2022d980bba4e0fd plasma-vault-5.22.1.tar.xz 3b1e8f7761224959757a3b698046694d plasma-browser-integration-5.22.1.tar.xz 99bd2e016ecf2fa994ddc236f823fc83 kde-cli-tools-5.22.1.tar.xz 904eb7c0af86a65e348a4c2211cc6e20 systemsettings-5.22.1.tar.xz 4357b2ef8ef57b6e7e8bcb70bb60428c plasma-thunderbolt-5.22.1.tar.xz #cd751995ac6d1b8195c4e4ebc10aabbf plasma-nano-5.22.1.tar.xz #dcb106786e6f1bb783df95c09b028e48 plasma-phone-components-5.22.1.tar.xz 9805d9bf07217766496edcb6a30ace35 plasma-firewall-5.22.1.tar.xz 698018452cb155b9502bf3f500bb9b21 plasma-systemmonitor-5.22.1.tar.xz 255179a1585d56c178c38a1ec09fd2ac qqc2-breeze-style-5.22.1.tar.xz a9513779eeef7c2642bde9ac15ab0c3c ksystemstats-5.22.1.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 ).

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).
