%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). &lfs112_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" cc886e068156be2e3a38dd581ef5c7cd kdecoration-5.25.4.tar.xz dc335301006b1007714dc2af028856ef libkscreen-5.25.4.tar.xz 38101d3a8fee3a6eef04370e29da3538 libksysguard-5.25.4.tar.xz 99b6204e0e782232de0caae00d8b08f9 breeze-5.25.4.tar.xz 9cff677a443097f0cd6ff997d75cd8d3 breeze-gtk-5.25.4.tar.xz 63f91c68af6cf236931455e3f2f7db8d layer-shell-qt-5.25.4.tar.xz f0390e8aa342f3b6f78383ffbd8e6245 kscreenlocker-5.25.4.tar.xz 173c0ff83e4677bd3d493882616f4821 oxygen-5.25.4.tar.xz 0eba490f93429cbae3274f5c80e8e4a4 kinfocenter-5.25.4.tar.xz 8c07df3083286b7fbf2fee061a9b8556 kwin-5.25.4.tar.xz 4322408dc35f32cfa25cde675ca4f950 plasma-workspace-5.25.4.tar.xz 847f15762403af3355dd9f8d313e3160 plasma-disks-5.25.4.tar.xz a6c95ad969503a0c4f7fa61b457405c1 bluedevil-5.25.4.tar.xz 6b6cf6c6faa28d7593e3065befe8cf8d kde-gtk-config-5.25.4.tar.xz 943b40a2a7e3738618ddb070233fe6f4 khotkeys-5.25.4.tar.xz 09c80647ed861aa94672fcb5d13fe382 kmenuedit-5.25.4.tar.xz 8671c090d885302d9553cecee3b87d65 kscreen-5.25.4.tar.xz f0df854ad5288a369c3d38a393ad796c kwallet-pam-5.25.4.tar.xz b686e387222177d70f14652d03225fd9 kwayland-integration-5.25.4.tar.xz 7ad4e4512e2c03e351930e83dd2d5c9b kwrited-5.25.4.tar.xz 7db4206e533f247b878241158f946552 milou-5.25.4.tar.xz 3e7cab69babe28ccafb1eb0df0c18757 plasma-nm-5.25.4.tar.xz 9813c33efcc84eb15d792aad2c096127 plasma-pa-5.25.4.tar.xz 54f0171cb296021b80437d2b5c5821e5 plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.25.4.tar.xz b29230b6615e1d4318e37d92940dd35b polkit-kde-agent-1-5.25.4.tar.xz 207ef7369a9dbe242bb4be12856c9950 powerdevil-5.25.4.tar.xz 58f128569154007f74dd74b8fb1ce976 plasma-desktop-5.25.4.tar.xz 2218d15c9644268c8a001993ac2b75a3 kdeplasma-addons-5.25.4.tar.xz 78407d2ec45a8efbd94be4be4e458ec6 kgamma5-5.25.4.tar.xz 12f157a44265e888238e44567c49ffdd ksshaskpass-5.25.4.tar.xz #8f34f405bd2e81866f484c8fb2b3e4bf plasma-sdk-5.25.4.tar.xz 5cf6a96fac52af822c28a5b414dfb05e sddm-kcm-5.25.4.tar.xz e5d1e81e741fcb94c6d3b7f0a460f0f2 discover-5.25.4.tar.xz #7317d218fb9bcbd3bb52dcc2d0b45497 breeze-grub-5.25.4.tar.xz #891882622ea5f8fc9e42aec7c349708a breeze-plymouth-5.25.4.tar.xz f8c1e906f17ce513113af47dadbf0222 kactivitymanagerd-5.25.4.tar.xz 4cbd66be9bfac48ff222c787652a0e1f plasma-integration-5.25.4.tar.xz ae0cc94583a0b6bd977a15b0ffba57d2 plasma-tests-5.25.4.tar.xz #43096cf164e17176cc381d804823bac2 plymouth-kcm-5.25.4.tar.xz 53d0980ca27e7233ca24bae9eceb4e57 xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.25.4.tar.xz 23b19b8d694ec98bc3e049cd628e8413 drkonqi-5.25.4.tar.xz 5a466c0da69b52836ddbf5524ddb14b9 plasma-vault-5.25.4.tar.xz 71c02fb4b8f3953a8548978b6309f7c8 plasma-browser-integration-5.25.4.tar.xz 5e0063ee3e50a7a336d80d17ed3c6651 kde-cli-tools-5.25.4.tar.xz d0dcc4214861fc05328d5df46fe618f5 systemsettings-5.25.4.tar.xz 3a786aae80fa31643ace5b3c62e70254 plasma-thunderbolt-5.25.4.tar.xz #74e38cc52ac71d74f0bce96ac6c2e288 plasma-nano-5.25.4.tar.xz #86db281d990e794a0890b9b7933995fa plasma-mobile-5.25.4.tar.xz e08c0ad74f68666713c5891f73b6432b plasma-firewall-5.25.4.tar.xz 030f1d0236b31407745300858f4f6db5 plasma-systemmonitor-5.25.4.tar.xz 005283e828b3ed1d1a9006dea23fd647 qqc2-breeze-style-5.25.4.tar.xz 5a8ef1866697cf5a660a59213d2f38e7 ksystemstats-5.25.4.tar.xz ab1fd9c2a595b09925fc2f9ddfe18406 oxygen-sounds-5.25.4.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 ). The plasma-sdk package is optional and used for software development.

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).
