%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). &lfs110a_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) 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" 7fab69fa5fc3211b35e3d03f1172831a kdecoration-5.22.4.tar.xz a587fecf0473c225f39a7f8a7c611d3b libkscreen-5.22.4.tar.xz 115f8e14d6ef58715183eb8036c431c1 libksysguard-5.22.4.tar.xz 516a58571f6daeb60a2509057e67712b breeze-5.22.4.tar.xz 3b06f3768fc345893625ef44d7e72a98 breeze-gtk-5.22.4.tar.xz 049dabd694abed120b4f84d37f05de8c layer-shell-qt-5.22.4.tar.xz 17af84caeb942de9a8e3d819f20645b0 kscreenlocker-5.22.4.tar.xz ffe09b47f6cc20d13ec311edeb13a9b3 oxygen-5.22.4.tar.xz 916bfa4ce6b40ca8ef80b75018d63ab1 kinfocenter-5.22.4.tar.xz 365f7cd632d41447561ec1bdf7497bba kwayland-server-5.22.4.tar.xz 09cf360780185b33fca9561684a0f41f kwin-5.22.4.tar.xz 5cb1ab2a9d3ce0c05eba07ef4c8ac478 plasma-workspace-5.22.4.tar.xz 75dd5e0fed93781f0ae031a091dcce4b plasma-disks-5.22.4.tar.xz 3d7abfe0952b356cc12cbd75be14f5e0 bluedevil-5.22.4.tar.xz 2515439a0daaf325b0fcf9ce1a537660 kde-gtk-config-5.22.4.tar.xz 8f2f4b902c98d7890dc1ec3756c27871 khotkeys-5.22.4.tar.xz aa03bf8d1c799a4410b567b44b47f6cd kmenuedit-5.22.4.tar.xz 6fab0d760e9e6a33255441aab3874b2f kscreen-5.22.4.tar.xz 3dae9ce525c52ac3bacaff464dc4264c kwallet-pam-5.22.4.tar.xz fa9772ef7737037992aea52739aea95a kwayland-integration-5.22.4.tar.xz 51502b6a48f2b7790364881a578cdd1b kwrited-5.22.4.tar.xz 6d85652d5fa13953370bc4f37247e3b4 milou-5.22.4.tar.xz 61c7fc4c00637715e8d0c4491298b5b7 plasma-nm-5.22.4.tar.xz 31272515681adc5d0ca987a9dc182de5 plasma-pa-5.22.4.tar.xz 95aefdbfd0a3cd6b871e50968ccf43d9 plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.22.4.tar.xz 9a36fb70a6d1f1f637d75a75e77eb9ba polkit-kde-agent-1-5.22.4.tar.xz f7860ee18c994a8b87f39965b53f4f1f powerdevil-5.22.4.tar.xz ba7687bdea331a62127f7cc69029c194 plasma-desktop-5.22.4.tar.xz 9c393f6da042841ed8cf41f9ad126b5c kdeplasma-addons-5.22.4.tar.xz bf508d7b503f1923fdb5fbd22f957981 kgamma5-5.22.4.tar.xz 239d00ede4c0e941dc6407f8510f1678 ksshaskpass-5.22.4.tar.xz #ba59a194b4812db25022c189e129151f plasma-sdk-5.22.4.tar.xz 3ecfe0501ce2ec0f8c8bda3a01c78be7 sddm-kcm-5.22.4.tar.xz a81e62bd36f3db28712274da80ed52a4 discover-5.22.4.tar.xz #9abba589089c1088e1836cabe9e593f6 breeze-grub-5.22.4.tar.xz #d038d1db0f1ed5e80b9d22a537dd1872 breeze-plymouth-5.22.4.tar.xz 7aef306ec8c2131f0fa22d2b558f73fb kactivitymanagerd-5.22.4.tar.xz 8c30da2b1dbcfbfaa715c050339b0e0a plasma-integration-5.22.4.tar.xz 006171ce3edae4b67d27b1577cdc84a1 plasma-tests-5.22.4.tar.xz #442fd33f46a982eeeb925fd6f7d919b1 plymouth-kcm-5.22.4.tar.xz 900994c0628b8b3767c83db0b4f16e0c xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.22.4.tar.xz 61ebe5891cf9adcd62d32c5069573ff0 drkonqi-5.22.4.tar.xz d464d91d37cf12da1721abc18ec94140 plasma-vault-5.22.4.tar.xz 8c9a2286634cb89fb04d0278c6af8f8c plasma-browser-integration-5.22.4.tar.xz 257e25f2388014932ecf786dd9e49bd5 kde-cli-tools-5.22.4.tar.xz 9314599d78ed6683018ff5a7b69d2a08 systemsettings-5.22.4.tar.xz 3ea20e78932f2a487d932acd1eff10f7 plasma-thunderbolt-5.22.4.tar.xz #0ecfa8ed1962f4f842967ed7b66d14f8 plasma-nano-5.22.4.tar.xz #157a441ad0519936dcb75856ae83010e plasma-phone-components-5.22.4.tar.xz 71b0da480c6b91b6445b6bdbe452bdae plasma-firewall-5.22.4.tar.xz 026a4d3cd063ba86e77c9ffa711aa769 plasma-systemmonitor-5.22.4.tar.xz 0d72d2e9f5d6a3975068e1a472ce9982 qqc2-breeze-style-5.22.4.tar.xz 171c556167b17fd2b16783015c3f8ae6 ksystemstats-5.22.4.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/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).
