%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) 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" 70412d6cd8e0d1c4c42ed12902368a7f kdecoration-5.23.4.tar.xz e970cde02338a940dfac2a46834bb914 libkscreen-5.23.4.tar.xz 2b3db1a3157b42f17e7f9bfa5a94632f libksysguard-5.23.4.tar.xz 4121a2c47a3a523fee891e82233dafaa breeze-5.23.4.tar.xz 5c7c1d37cc2e8e4e77509e76c025bd8a breeze-gtk-5.23.4.tar.xz 8a0ca463e975f36a4029c5b58e97d0c6 layer-shell-qt-5.23.4.tar.xz 9ba6af9d821819a12627228348be3a33 kscreenlocker-5.23.4.tar.xz 196a7591da5295467079154bbb555a0e oxygen-5.23.4.tar.xz 98aba2934bc1a37a948b7e2cd5a8a5f5 kinfocenter-5.23.4.tar.xz c3fb19662d5f9df6d08da17537de4a00 kwayland-server-5.23.4.tar.xz 7c4641bdb19b8ff3ebf785d9e62c4e73 kwin-5.23.4.tar.xz b881d2067ab2b2081b1abe514df535d2 plasma-workspace-5.23.4.tar.xz d792a0949023365b7cbe63063cac4d76 plasma-disks-5.23.4.tar.xz 129d38e7781b6b8de4228d5798a43cfb bluedevil-5.23.4.tar.xz 8c9e78a04e7d810e07f3016f2506b294 kde-gtk-config-5.23.4.tar.xz 679e9b0049272f9dd09fd5aa196d4083 khotkeys-5.23.4.tar.xz 25f187342eccfea8400ee7473d00c776 kmenuedit-5.23.4.tar.xz 525d86e1f10e27a682419dd7fe50adc7 kscreen-5.23.4.tar.xz b8dee5bf600004b67d499144e5b73aa4 kwallet-pam-5.23.4.tar.xz ccadb3775b62e6c79ae876d36e112d2d kwayland-integration-5.23.4.tar.xz 8d5500231378fce92b938e650b93af02 kwrited-5.23.4.tar.xz c747fc88fe6321936d321145953c9113 milou-5.23.4.tar.xz c8550fccbb1f4545b75d3d12ff3f2bd0 plasma-nm-5.23.4.tar.xz f8eb962f3ddb735440161349ccb53b7d plasma-pa-5.23.4.tar.xz a8c49526c3166ab39c52d5c2698cac66 plasma-workspace-wallpapers-5.23.4.tar.xz a4c54e6faa3539f87327fed2957d46e6 polkit-kde-agent-1-5.23.4.tar.xz caebf6ab603fca247adfb04d96b276b1 powerdevil-5.23.4.tar.xz 4f53438f181525c1c64de34e8a2a7539 plasma-desktop-5.23.4.tar.xz 7050e2d550375e09c5713c7975439748 kdeplasma-addons-5.23.4.tar.xz a142e8c4f2ca73e35384962d998a3b5c kgamma5-5.23.4.tar.xz daf8770fe5e265aad69534d64f3d9cea ksshaskpass-5.23.4.tar.xz #ad6f77ebdbc3396bbf08e61168669fa6 plasma-sdk-5.23.4.tar.xz 71a0156a31687357103f954fa78b6848 sddm-kcm-5.23.4.tar.xz 006e75263753756f8755bd059c19ab9e discover-5.23.4.tar.xz #9c8f0c048dc42677d74353bbfa2159a2 breeze-grub-5.23.4.tar.xz #71c20d264f3e55a6b44d7bb999cb2392 breeze-plymouth-5.23.4.tar.xz 280b8796189bc7aab7176b11d544e847 kactivitymanagerd-5.23.4.tar.xz ff59902f5d98c8b95e0233bbd51dc2c6 plasma-integration-5.23.4.tar.xz 75323ed6f25645cfc177b05851708aef plasma-tests-5.23.4.tar.xz #90f7253019ffeebea00e46c8d01825e3 plymouth-kcm-5.23.4.tar.xz 9834a8793b8ec9c9ba100088b156eda7 xdg-desktop-portal-kde-5.23.4.tar.xz 8a105673248c94dd7d67345e5015cfa1 drkonqi-5.23.4.tar.xz f95e5d77072c1e63d868fcf31794f2a7 plasma-vault-5.23.4.tar.xz 159c8ef827875feee49ad2ab18a69a68 plasma-browser-integration-5.23.4.tar.xz 6100c39ded0b25058d8d9c58a06dd88f kde-cli-tools-5.23.4.tar.xz da45f029de7d611f1f2ce68d944b9c97 systemsettings-5.23.4.tar.xz d13e77f6cfd50f710f155cec76fd4096 plasma-thunderbolt-5.23.4.tar.xz #26080aa1ce99de8ec0e8e170713a0bdb plasma-nano-5.23.4.tar.xz #6977fd972f03934aa40f6dceead0268a plasma-phone-components-5.23.4.tar.xz 8287067abceafacc586bdea72917f63a plasma-firewall-5.23.4.tar.xz 287dc2d4ba0501335460db00e40151be plasma-systemmonitor-5.23.4.tar.xz 43eb9791a41bab99ba7a69a95740a53c qqc2-breeze-style-5.23.4.tar.xz 77f7b33c69d7638d1109757feab51e74 ksystemstats-5.23.4.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 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).
