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" b0cbc29002c38525f06e25926e41ce46 kdecoration-5.15.3.tar.xz 705f767f74d225a7d3e54863c28e8774 libkscreen-5.15.3.tar.xz 94d5a8505d3ecc69726aa9deb592bf97 libksysguard-5.15.3.tar.xz 9c11d520682160d4704cddb8386d3de8 breeze-5.15.3.tar.xz b369b343d6dd4ef3af6d18340a83f308 breeze-gtk-5.15.3.tar.xz d7ae9eaa8ff3208df01935fc0cd0c28a kscreenlocker-5.15.3.tar.xz b0224262aaea0611a5304e9586d9ddbf oxygen-5.15.3.tar.xz 8064140c272452f7610e35b714930ca4 kinfocenter-5.15.3.tar.xz 39a526781799088e251305f17945e784 ksysguard-5.15.3.tar.xz d297109766835e43cea21af920b88b3c kwin-5.15.3.2.tar.xz 582ef2fb97a9020c09d86118c04f3b0a plasma-workspace-5.15.3.tar.xz 7bb9a0a7cb5c751d1a94fcf9cb260bd4 bluedevil-5.15.3.tar.xz fc76a4f8bdb2a031fdadff946514ae3d kde-gtk-config-5.15.3.tar.xz 9eebf70f99a2eb0d0a62285d47a8542e khotkeys-5.15.3.tar.xz 50e642a3d5949443e161ea0d4eeaadea kmenuedit-5.15.3.tar.xz 0efcace3965f868e4b474f501c4c3130 kscreen-5.15.3.tar.xz 6ebd5b3e62be468b4a5841bcce624093 kwallet-pam-5.15.3.tar.xz f5ceb5dbfcf2d3f590b9115c446b35df kwayland-integration-5.15.3.tar.xz c568256c56e2a2fa22e642a8bd43bfa5 kwrited-5.15.3.tar.xz 95d1078a08dcf21266a9cce51bac9dc6 milou-5.15.3.tar.xz 46492d319950a48f3a192f1d883a4020 plasma-nm-5.15.3.tar.xz 97752f6f9a57d39eaa1b68b99f5880af plasma-pa-5.15.3.tar.xz 7006c1d844dd8d23fa6c4e18af645860 plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.15.3.tar.xz 4b364062f59fb9599ef7c60fbcc1d9e2 polkit-kde-agent-1-5.15.3.tar.xz 72da38b000b84ebb350b2842c22438bb powerdevil-5.15.3.tar.xz 0aedba1ccd551bf3137cbadedf140c3c plasma-desktop-5.15.3.2.tar.xz a1b032662fd6267b7bf0e8a0ff627db0 kdeplasma-addons-5.15.3.tar.xz cb4e1b8f8d4b4f3bf53a35b7bb02fe48 kgamma5-5.15.3.tar.xz 86f4c45eac9db936b22b84cb75c35598 ksshaskpass-5.15.3.tar.xz #b625e5c98588b20c842c8c750abf9df2 plasma-sdk-5.15.3.tar.xz b2a458ec19d39cdecc969b1e5ad226dd sddm-kcm-5.15.3.tar.xz c1b015e2c94995c1e336204900d77929 user-manager-5.15.3.tar.xz 1ffd8fe39532ef5093e42d4b330de5dd discover-5.15.3.tar.xz #9dd691cded8af750f779f5479dc898e9 breeze-grub-5.15.3.tar.xz #2f48a4f199780cc8fe3d31eda54034e7 breeze-plymouth-5.15.3.tar.xz 242dbc1fc363e90dad8350c9138918c3 kactivitymanagerd-5.15.3.tar.xz 509f18cd766b6a63de42eaf3d8d91946 plasma-integration-5.15.3.tar.xz b92720b576ce939c033e21986b59abe2 plasma-tests-5.15.3.tar.xz a19b7e09a04dd5b6551fb05932fb0050 plymouth-kcm-5.15.3.tar.xz 2492e7e238944e5f573857a8a8d66276 xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.15.3.tar.xz 79eeaeaf73d8002c536d9b9f398042db drkonqi-5.15.3.tar.xz f2c1e4e95bf01106c2f9b434366258c3 plasma-vault-5.15.3.tar.xz dcede75af2b44e7dba52164f52a8a37a plasma-browser-integration-5.15.3.tar.xz 882890f64e5143e67e061f6267feea5f kde-cli-tools-5.15.3.tar.xz 4f27f409f8660e5656cfae2c7fe2c4a3 systemsettings-5.15.3.2.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. Installation of Plasma5 &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 $packagedir mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF5_PREFIX \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \ -Wno-dev .. && make as_root make install popd as_root rm -rf $packagedir as_root /sbin/ldconfig done < plasma-&plasma5-version;.md5 exit install -dvm 755 /usr/share/xsessions && cd /usr/share/xsessions/ && [ -e plasma.desktop ] || as_root ln -sfv $KF5_PREFIX/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop Configuring Plasma Linux PAM Configuration If you built Plasma with the recommended Linux PAM support, create necessary configuration files by running the following commands as the root user: cat > /etc/pam.d/kde << "EOF" # Begin /etc/pam.d/kde auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet auth include system-auth account include system-account password include system-password session include system-session # End /etc/pam.d/kde EOF cat > /etc/pam.d/kde-np << "EOF" # Begin /etc/pam.d/kde-np auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet auth required pam_permit.so account include system-account password include system-password session include system-session # End /etc/pam.d/kde-np EOF cat > /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver << "EOF" # Begin /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver auth include system-auth account include system-account # End /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver EOF Starting Plasma5 You can start Plasma5 from runlevel 3, using , or from runlevel 5, using a Display Manager, such as . You can start Plasma5 from a TTY, using . 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 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 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). 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.
