It has been derived from the monolithic KDE 4 desktop. They implement the KDE Display Environment (Plasma 5). &lfs79_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 , , , , (built with qt5), , and Recommended , , , , , , and Optional , , appstream-qt, ibus, 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=http://download.kde.org/stable/plasma/&plasma5-version;/ wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=3 -A '*.xz' -np $url The options used here are: -r recurse through child directories -nH disable generation of host-prefixed directories --cut-dirs=3 remove three levels of directories when saving -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" 9939aaabbe048c82a0d371b93356bb1b kde-cli-tools-5.6.0.tar.xz c21c5d17d3acf80568950daf6bcdd1fe kdecoration-5.6.0.tar.xz 464f49413bc8e0e61eeaad6520c39473 kwayland-5.6.0.tar.xz 78424f1562b2aea71ec5b384ef01c3ae libkscreen-5.6.0.tar.xz d2297d1a4996d5ac855a5d98cf1d9581 libksysguard-5.6.0.tar.xz 2617b12844e97ad41d67fa238b725d90 breeze-5.6.0.tar.xz e46e9d3b90cf19b20afb4ec6789131e0 breeze-gtk-5.6.0.tar.xz 958fa3cb8fa156c40bc20cb46767a5fa kscreenlocker-5.6.0.tar.xz 3e2cf4a6b4ff58769249525686ecb990 oxygen-5.6.0.tar.xz 1c37b094bd3273912acebae2f52dcbba khelpcenter-5.6.0.tar.xz a9bc4c9ba6bee7873e8f2a2396fcc5c5 kinfocenter-5.6.0.tar.xz 690d154abd0458120511e92b1f602bcb ksysguard-5.6.0.tar.xz 1add44b5f04bf60eb98dd7432bd45a56 kwin-5.6.0.tar.xz 34deac7edd5abdafaf37279501a27ae8 systemsettings-5.6.0.tar.xz 59a5f026b88158c3a1675fff52846cbf plasma-workspace-5.6.0.tar.xz 76886f822f4866b5e6cd09ad0b294b5a bluedevil-5.6.0.tar.xz 62537a68d222f2a5a114d0f00b6d9664 kde-gtk-config-5.6.0.tar.xz 129f356ddcfd7a4366006e1f5598eda5 khotkeys-5.6.0.tar.xz c5a37c45b9a2cd39b287e333910b170d kmenuedit-5.6.0.tar.xz 5a43b4ca376cf5321294ae6a02e84416 kscreen-5.6.0.tar.xz 4fd13634ba67aca79839cb1940302613 kwallet-pam-5.6.0.tar.xz d0a617777fc8793e685e0ea1cba5eda9 kwayland-integration-5.6.0.tar.xz cb7831be19e51c6d4ec2f62024726998 kwrited-5.6.0.tar.xz fba2776f99c139bb64c731f092687b72 milou-5.6.0.tar.xz ec0df73abdcb30aa13737af704130ca1 plasma-nm-5.6.0.tar.xz f9beabe2a235c1c59e6d44c2f09c0bd1 plasma-pa-5.6.0.tar.xz 751c26021ad463215d1e57cbf8f976f5 plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.6.0.tar.xz b62322564a3c70330021c9b1bedf93af polkit-kde-agent-1-5.6.0.tar.xz f3dfc7affd4492731cab7d0ce293dd5b powerdevil-5.6.0.tar.xz 459a7ee12a9e404164d5843b4c22500a plasma-desktop-5.6.0.tar.xz 9e1892505d9277a650f5de2a991dfb10 kdeplasma-addons-5.6.0.tar.xz 8ac30fe02721cc355a696e8966de85d1 kgamma5-5.6.0.tar.xz df606fc93c1fa06407d15230dacc67e7 ksshaskpass-5.6.0.tar.xz 351aba4bf5d8932232d04dfaf5165f3e plasma-mediacenter-5.6.0.tar.xz 7405dabf94dbafaae354b188bc6dfcb7 plasma-sdk-5.6.0.tar.xz 810f4e9ac4d0b6b6cbd3bfa315742b35 sddm-kcm-5.6.0.tar.xz 6df0619e5446a52111709181878b3717 user-manager-5.6.0.tar.xz afad2be536e324dfbea25af96c2fe9b4 discover-5.6.0.tar.xz #ea4209e98097b42423859295be795e55 breeze-grub-5.6.0.tar.xz #ba767671eb7741405215f9a7e4b05ea5 breeze-plymouth-5.6.0.tar.xz 116551aa32f5929648abf5e298385c83 kactivitymanagerd-5.6.0.tar.xz c26be1b6ed15604accf8f725c068279a plasma-integration-5.6.0.tar.xz 2aacc6c4f92ee3c2327d01df40b72269 simplesystray-5.6.0.tar.xz EOF The breeze-grub and breeze-plymouth packages above are both for customized support of Plymouth which is designed to be run within an initial ram disk during boot (see ). &as_root; First, start a subshell that will exit on error: bash -e Install all of the packages by running the following commands: while read -r line; do # Get the file name, ignoring comments and blank lines if $(echo $line | grep -E -q '^ *$|^#' ); then continue; fi file=$(echo $line | cut -d" " -f2) pkg=$(echo $file|sed 's|^.*/||') # Remove directory packagedir=$(echo $pkg|sed 's|\.tar.*||') # Package directory tar -xf $file pushd $packagedir mkdir build cd build OPTS="" case $packagedir in kwayland-&plasma5-version; ) OPTS="-DECM_MKSPECS_INSTALL_DIR=$KF5_PREFIX/share/mkspecs/modules" ;; esac cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF5_PREFIX \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=lib \ -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \ $OPTS \ -Wno-dev .. && make as_root make install popd as_root rm -rf $packagedir as_root /sbin/ldconfig done < plasma-&plasma5-version;.md5 exit cd $KF5_PREFIX/share/plasma/plasmoids for j in $(find -name \*.js); do as_root ln -sfv ../code/$(basename $j) $(dirname $j)/../ui/ done ln -sfv ../code/$(basename $j) $(dirname $j)/../ui/: Create symbolic links so qml files can find needed javascript modules. If you have KDE4 installed as well as Plasma 5, make sure the PATH environment setting has the Plasma 5 binaries before the KDE4 entry. You can ensure this by running: pathprepend /opt/kf5/bin before running startx. You can start Plasma5 from runlevel 3, using , or from runlevel 5, using a Display Manager, such as . To start Plasma 5 using , run the following commands: cat > ~/.xinitrc << "EOF" ck-launch-session 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 You may wish to drop consolekit and/or dbus-launch, e.g., just using startkde in ~/.xinitrc. However some capabilities such as mounting or umounting file systems from a file manager will not be possible, or the reboot option may be absent or inoperative, among other problems. 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).
