%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). &lfs111_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) and Optional , , , , appstream-qt, KDevPlatform, libgps, libhybris, libraw1394, mockcpp, packagekit-qt, Qalculate, Qapt, SCIM, and socat (for pam_kwallet) Only two plasma packages optionally use : libksysguard and kdeplasma-addons. If QtWebEngine is installed later, only those two packages have to be rebuilt. This allows to provide a more complete display in the system monitor application. 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" f239aaffb15592e8d35f250763de0928 kdecoration-5.24.5.tar.xz 97ef068eddbe1d00c920192d1500dd93 libkscreen-5.24.5.tar.xz 6d43b014fcf7d220653c82c9187ad238 libksysguard-5.24.5.tar.xz 558c03416d5e97946857232ff4a205fe breeze-5.24.5.tar.xz 1f728695039f0354474e0d77d94ec609 breeze-gtk-5.24.5.tar.xz 91adcae1cd632ca63d309bb2f55afbc6 layer-shell-qt-5.24.5.tar.xz fd288ff836cc804e3f87dd2f5bf73350 kscreenlocker-5.24.5.tar.xz 4610a92cb8b16ca1dedfd343b9f2550c oxygen-5.24.5.tar.xz 4dd8450c600a4f0ba418d937e5b7aee7 kinfocenter-5.24.5.tar.xz 598ae49b82277a94c5b35ac2b22f2cee kwayland-server-5.24.5.tar.xz a92ef62e3780435009e1d67623727d9e kwin-5.24.5.tar.xz 1756314f3b95077a4a177d6e150c0c74 plasma-workspace-5.24.5.tar.xz 681b486cc87c2cddd24a6a6051907dd4 plasma-disks-5.24.5.tar.xz 6e8da61b41691b811f0029d0692af2b8 bluedevil-5.24.5.tar.xz f3eed29817d18a008012b70d64935894 kde-gtk-config-5.24.5.tar.xz 4f09f37ac7ebce792e2a12d582677370 khotkeys-5.24.5.tar.xz ab0af707f54eb2c3272123613fff0546 kmenuedit-5.24.5.tar.xz 8480ee90af0592d04b8d13747c9dc984 kscreen-5.24.5.tar.xz 0ee9d2bcc73d974fb06d0ac4a0e96e11 kwallet-pam-5.24.5.tar.xz aae5d820d1ecd19301a23cb672c9a45a kwayland-integration-5.24.5.tar.xz 589eb5c7d72ca98478da6f1ff3575cd7 kwrited-5.24.5.tar.xz 02bb77b13e49ad6e5b6defb3c672868a milou-5.24.5.tar.xz fad6a3d603afffd3ef8312c58aa810a1 plasma-nm-5.24.5.tar.xz 5c824cba591a84e2a04d8864f42e74d9 plasma-pa-5.24.5.tar.xz e2bc71e7ee87a399f28c7c31b74eab9d plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.24.5.tar.xz 61be40b45e827a149d964a11275d75b6 polkit-kde-agent-1-5.24.5.tar.xz ac1e83397316954fb587c86d00f04591 powerdevil-5.24.5.tar.xz c8209bc8147b8e556b59270af9b90666 plasma-desktop-5.24.5.tar.xz 1e64236fd3f83c2244b7f43786e5973e kdeplasma-addons-5.24.5.tar.xz e9544512d566ec8c862d415c688cad5a kgamma5-5.24.5.tar.xz d3e087db5fdc3e5a98efbfbc4a874aa4 ksshaskpass-5.24.5.tar.xz #54d583f14b4b40df4c8e322c143adbdd plasma-sdk-5.24.5.tar.xz c8c3287e326972154da67308375fd0e1 sddm-kcm-5.24.5.tar.xz 2fd1053fbd3ca2c6a64be171af7f665a discover-5.24.5.tar.xz #c4d0743364fc32708a7318f470beeeb9 breeze-grub-5.24.5.tar.xz #ca6fada97e8026f78612ca19aec3482b breeze-plymouth-5.24.5.tar.xz 3ccd98acb7b5ba78c6c474cb6904e5e6 kactivitymanagerd-5.24.5.tar.xz e4707182dc0508c4fbbdf495067b7e80 plasma-integration-5.24.5.tar.xz 448e85a197a6ae9c49fa8d9a24a8abea plasma-tests-5.24.5.tar.xz #951d95f902aca5152a419afe920c628a plymouth-kcm-5.24.5.tar.xz b25ed347b50f472d2bba7b5b4e2e75a7 xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.24.5.tar.xz ec09f5df5604ea250afd4938b11cde47 drkonqi-5.24.5.tar.xz 0b761d3db81fd14e94e27b022209c62a plasma-vault-5.24.5.tar.xz e123ec241c17a9c726b79f372d736ce3 plasma-browser-integration-5.24.5.tar.xz 263e1a645e19b6daed9743540217da8f kde-cli-tools-5.24.5.tar.xz 51314142bc96fd1864049f0727540e5f systemsettings-5.24.5.tar.xz e668b7a16a6702ff512bdfdfd9588b0e plasma-thunderbolt-5.24.5.tar.xz #335215fd402c5e886be13a7cdae746f5 plasma-nano-5.24.5.tar.xz #708ffe8a2d7240ac125c92c266128ce9 plasma-mobile-5.24.5.tar.xz 8373a21b1d528acbd26e399d2e0d7fc9 plasma-firewall-5.24.5.tar.xz 8df48f0a22ce12e3dfb569b74b4cb549 plasma-systemmonitor-5.24.5.tar.xz 3213768a9b54727e062bea6480916193 qqc2-breeze-style-5.24.5.tar.xz f145d63e307ef51eae8f6854005efe44 ksystemstats-5.24.5.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 ).

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).
