They implement the KDE Display Environment (Plasma 5). &lfs84_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" 12e66b250e0e0036e837648f72e94b4e kdecoration-5.15.5.tar.xz 08e28135014852c1bf57dd738a7c8cda libkscreen-5.15.5.tar.xz 3fa13483c9f888571fa1a8a7a1ef821e libksysguard-5.15.5.tar.xz 52221a5e47ffca0cffdc4577e9b097e2 breeze-5.15.5.tar.xz 5aea654d15d6c107141affa6e32d1d4d breeze-gtk-5.15.5.tar.xz be96a0ab64cbeb9b9f728a977c0e2e6b kscreenlocker-5.15.5.tar.xz f561b58231384cf96e62768c7ebe4611 oxygen-5.15.5.tar.xz 746b45e6d987b25a44e4469c7f66982f kinfocenter-5.15.5.tar.xz 8f86ba0db6971a7a331b0314971fa6ae ksysguard-5.15.5.tar.xz 91401cff50e97b2f153080e1a9d295d0 kwin-5.15.5.tar.xz a8598e9d6504f08389e5b0cdceae468c plasma-workspace-5.15.5.tar.xz f5cacbe4bfc12ca36535711d0562122f bluedevil-5.15.5.tar.xz 5790d8f3be565c9f78a1a3dbe77dafe6 kde-gtk-config-5.15.5.tar.xz e40ad49f14cfe51e35c94e46bf4dcfb6 khotkeys-5.15.5.tar.xz 38316c5655e273a2e5ee4bd096cee1a7 kmenuedit-5.15.5.tar.xz 6ab623e477248aa4faf2bbf157fc786b kscreen-5.15.5.tar.xz 4f563fc433dfd43960832fb7ddac6137 kwallet-pam-5.15.5.tar.xz 4c029d5a2e0dec0c9ca746d910393ae3 kwayland-integration-5.15.5.tar.xz 841b5be4dec688ac30c32f30045f96b5 kwrited-5.15.5.tar.xz ae3357fdfdfbf8c996b9ea5c445f042d milou-5.15.5.tar.xz 806534c2fd234aa8630c5bfc6b4b8b54 plasma-nm-5.15.5.tar.xz 599c5fcee476afb5cd59e6961c8c525f plasma-pa-5.15.5.tar.xz 293d855ff8df007a1c75b2a4b0a29c47 plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.15.5.tar.xz 2c0581a3b6bb66d34de3f3b185471939 polkit-kde-agent-1-5.15.5.tar.xz 08dca676733ed110ad73015ef61dfc52 powerdevil-5.15.5.tar.xz 84cea7d6cc3d014839ec7f8b9696b8f2 plasma-desktop-5.15.5.tar.xz a194936a5fc7101d95bd92c43b377735 kdeplasma-addons-5.15.5.tar.xz b8d639e55d1c9de2bd77d5ea234f81f5 kgamma5-5.15.5.tar.xz 965cd4f87a9bf64a7a54d511856084dd ksshaskpass-5.15.5.tar.xz #c14166ae4bbd60ce47d33f67c6d1718a plasma-sdk-5.15.5.tar.xz ebc9becccf08be045caf8c6ca86bf2fd sddm-kcm-5.15.5.tar.xz 8e38b26a97b2b2e57b0be29d78fbb71e user-manager-5.15.5.tar.xz c84cfab3218989b8eae04f1414ee6cfc discover-5.15.5.tar.xz #c54c8792cf6db0906553da9dcdcbf80a breeze-grub-5.15.5.tar.xz #48f7ff45c8f976d3fe43d323797f7559 breeze-plymouth-5.15.5.tar.xz b428a82901a772971bfc5bb3df3dead0 kactivitymanagerd-5.15.5.tar.xz 3c35e275cdc620e36857de4fea66501b plasma-integration-5.15.5.tar.xz 8588f3aadbe22749e28bf92a90d49aab plasma-tests-5.15.5.tar.xz 35c634a6e3b12b729dae73c9b7c3e0dc plymouth-kcm-5.15.5.tar.xz 301ae8297bcc7891f26e065839f361e5 xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.15.5.tar.xz 87c9f9cec68b02cf1e88ce0b655e6e08 drkonqi-5.15.5.tar.xz f748d8b07dc118f6d2f392ae0c400606 plasma-vault-5.15.5.tar.xz 9c838fa4fedf73322d4c7279d575545e plasma-browser-integration-5.15.5.tar.xz 15b29094d80848ed7f976a736fe058ac kde-cli-tools-5.15.5.tar.xz 60099023cd0d88640a50f080f9ccc921 systemsettings-5.15.5.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 ).

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/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 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.
