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" 6704f5b7e08ddef06aaae2329c83edd0 kdecoration-5.21.1.tar.xz 6b7cc3ccf7881ea0d0bde07ead95860c libkscreen-5.21.1.tar.xz ad1b34a1fa173c92d279941333e15d04 libksysguard-5.21.1.tar.xz 672efd2a00cae728c602aee8dcbe6d34 breeze-5.21.1.tar.xz cd2968bedf5a2f81df05921fb27d3c4d breeze-gtk-5.21.1.tar.xz 2607a8599c0923e824a5d9a8661fe11d kscreenlocker-5.21.1.tar.xz 2b0542f736741808cf08ea08f60b3b70 oxygen-5.21.1.tar.xz a7254b02d4e52f406840090ad6cd1a04 kinfocenter-5.21.1.tar.xz efa5758ce2ee0f8fd70f188198187f6a ksysguard-5.21.1.tar.xz bee63f7adde88fda32313b479050cc91 kwayland-server-5.21.1.tar.xz 56647c9a9a14c447013d734321dfeb28 kwin-5.21.1.tar.xz a6d561c5183168449de63840888ec120 plasma-workspace-5.21.1.tar.xz f94222d6d0237978e4a00d68abcf45b7 plasma-disks-5.21.1.tar.xz 582c0bc22874a5dd28f82c765b2562e8 bluedevil-5.21.1.tar.xz 1140e976e5cc8e157c0fb7d15058a07b kde-gtk-config-5.21.1.tar.xz 85c2366ba57798df2cd2c4a006fa6430 khotkeys-5.21.1.tar.xz b6ea73b30e16f05923840c79146d0280 kmenuedit-5.21.1.tar.xz 1dfd0ddec58bd28d93a09dea672dcb70 kscreen-5.21.1.tar.xz cefd31bcc087e54faa00a619c762ba63 kwallet-pam-5.21.1.tar.xz 4faee9fba32bb4c4f69b98b23e3d5950 kwayland-integration-5.21.1.tar.xz 25867c8239bea61976bd3f5ab8af9e9f kwrited-5.21.1.tar.xz 45bf96a93445d1ab3c9a63d8b40d8974 milou-5.21.1.tar.xz 09f1f2668113c01d327b9873ed4f80a6 plasma-nm-5.21.1.tar.xz a8d0daf6e671c125e7f09e4b67f9f158 plasma-pa-5.21.1.tar.xz 0bc819955f9c5bc483d2b443b765d544 plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.21.1.tar.xz b9d5703a6e291e3ba4d8f967b83beb94 polkit-kde-agent-1-5.21.1.tar.xz 77758cb82a129155c4db2a0a4d14d993 powerdevil-5.21.1.tar.xz 31070b325b1673aec305b1d13fe7fc08 plasma-desktop-5.21.1.tar.xz 749d00234c2bc6991af0c0cd5bc36e96 kdeplasma-addons-5.21.1.tar.xz 94e3eb05ee7c06e25587dd6c198fcc7c kgamma5-5.21.1.tar.xz 61cac749eec698ffaa4d54eaaf251565 ksshaskpass-5.21.1.tar.xz #3f54255d7515f08615f7905329771ea6 plasma-sdk-5.21.1.tar.xz c675d299cc468021ce31267a69589373 sddm-kcm-5.21.1.tar.xz 3311f6e733d26aa0a7803351cba7c0c5 discover-5.21.1.tar.xz #9d4627fe5e15c972d1bd5902653eb15c breeze-grub-5.21.1.tar.xz #006bd972f30dbf79f5d8cc6702816361 breeze-plymouth-5.21.1.tar.xz c30bbee8eed6943cb40144bcd70e9a55 kactivitymanagerd-5.21.1.tar.xz 8db9a652a9c40be8f092efda2d6a8463 plasma-integration-5.21.1.tar.xz 95d1ff516afb540c2a94297e6f816bb7 plasma-tests-5.21.1.tar.xz #b536cd7d2274c552b740fbfce9920a9f plymouth-kcm-5.21.1.tar.xz dfe793c51a0654a38a80404fbda4de57 xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.21.1.tar.xz 3a3de5e9e4caa35e95c009d2aa21cf04 drkonqi-5.21.1.tar.xz b4295f7d395e547f7936b76717e2d4cd plasma-vault-5.21.1.tar.xz caf1b7d83ec0c75c315fce35f4fcc1b4 plasma-browser-integration-5.21.1.tar.xz a19f5e8158322e91d08e93ccedc11feb kde-cli-tools-5.21.1.tar.xz 3a626e27e0cf792142ad5269efe95ed9 systemsettings-5.21.1.tar.xz 5d7d94423d252301cf236db930d21357 plasma-thunderbolt-5.21.1.tar.xz #b31c66f7c84c0d3177d116b3db06cd9e plasma-nano-5.21.1.tar.xz #e2a71cf0145b1f546bd4e1a483cd3017 plasma-phone-components-5.21.1.tar.xz eee25dec70bffac0dc0858d6a53f829e plasma-firewall-5.21.1.tar.xz de0b75f307c6674971079abd1c3e0d6e plasma-systemmonitor-5.21.1.tar.xz ee1d2b217efbc83d16218d4370bd6098 qqc2-breeze-style-5.21.1.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).
