Today we finally unmasked Qt5, and packages relying on it, such as LXQt 0.8.0 and KDE Frameworks 5. The qt5 useflag is now also available in packages that offer it as a choice.

We believe most of the issues have been addressed, but some minor ones remain. Feel free to file bug reports as you come across problems, but of course search the bugs database first, in case it has already been reported.

Is there some documentation on installing KF5 that use whats in portage and not in the overlay?

And are there any issues with KDE 4 applications that have not been ported to KF5 running under KF5?

and thank you, I have been looking forward to this. :D

At a stable hardened "qt5" seems still be masked here:
Code:
 sudo su -
# emerge --update @world --newuse --changed-use --with-bdeps=y --ask

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies  .... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "sys-auth/polkit-qt[qt5(-)]".
(dependency required by "lxqt-base/lxqt-policykit-0.8.0" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "lxqt-base/lxqt-meta-0.8.0[policykit]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "@selected" [set])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])

annoying that qt5 needs ruby. Would have been better if it wasn't required, as it's useless for my system when, as no other package on my system will ever use it.

Yes, it is still masked on stable. You can unmask the useflag by adding -qt5 to /etc/portage/profile/stable.use.mask.

I totally agree with you. But it is used in QtWebKit's build system. I'm personally annoyed by it too. If one doesn't need qtwebkit, then ruby can be avoided.

Just remove the overlay, or mask the versions in the overlay.

Not that I'm aware of, but I haven't personally used KF5 yet (just LXQt 0.8.0).

Wrong question imo. ;) KF5 is just the libraries, and they can be installed beside KDE4 just fine, for whatever package is going to pick them up and use them. For KDE4 applications, many of them are still required for a full-blown plasma 5 desktop, and that's what kde applications 14.12 was made for. There's also a breeze style to make them look native.

really, really basic question:

how do you get a desktop using the new frameworks?

(kactivities-5 is incompatible with kwin + many others apparently)

Obviously, I need the "kde5 on gentoo for dummies". If there is
one, could someone please point me to it.

To get kde5, you have to install plasma5, which is still masked (but usable) and still in kde overlay. Also you have to install kde applications 14.12.1 with minimal flags where present, because plasma5 is not co-installable with kde4 desktop.

Are the sets ( such as @kde-frameworks ) going to be in portage at some point or only available in the overlay?

And as long as I'm asking more questions:

Is there by chance an ETA on when Plasma5 and KDE Applications 14.12.? will make it into portage?

Thanks;

George

OK, I've got plasma5 installed but my kde apps are 4.14.3 at the moment; so you can
see how confused I am ...

They will work as long as they have "minimal" flags enabled where present. "minimal" flags are needed to tell applications not to install files provided by kf5 and plasma

I find it helps to use eix, it may show why portage keeps masking it. Or what does
Code:
USE=qt5 emerge -pv sys-auth/polkit-qt
say?

thanks for that. So, this is embarrassing.

Now all kde apps with minimal flag have been rebuilt with
minimal flag enforced.

kde-frameworks/plasma is installed

restart machine - back to kde4 framework; if I unmerge plasma-workspace I
get a black desktop and broken functionality

Clearly, I have no idea what is going on :)

EDIT: I think I see - all the kde framework 5 packages are still Hard Masked;
sorry to all - I misunderstood the situation I think. Is it true that to get a
framework 5 desktop I must install a bunch of -9999 versions from the kde
overlay?

kde-frameworks/plasma is just a tip of the iceberg. You have to emerge the whole @kde-plasma set from kde overlay, as kde-frameworks/plasma provides only necessary libs to get the real plasma working. And no, you don't need 9999 versions, kde-frameworks 5.6.0 + kde-plasma 5.2 will do perfectly fine

Don't know if this is progress; installed kde-frameworks/plasma-workspace
and about 77 other kde apps from the overlay

all that happens is I get is

(1) nicely discreet new splash screen
(2) new splach screen sits there for 20 seconds
(3) message "plasmashell closed unexpectedly"
(4) black screen

some errors if I try to restart plasmashell from konsole

"libgl failed to load drm device permission denied"
"we have no shell handlers installed"

I was under the impression kde5 was a little further along ...

:oops: I should stop spamming this thread until I get things
together

of course, the 77 packages did NOT include plasma-desktop

now everything seems to work very well indeed

(spoiled by gentoo's meta scheme ...)

Just so I'm clear in my own mind, you are referring to minimal use flags on already installed kde packages?

As in these:
Code:
[IP-] [  ] kde-base/baloo-4.14.3:4/4.14
[IP-] [  ] kde-base/kactivities-4.13.3:4/4.13
[IP-] [  ] kde-base/kde-meta-4.14.3:4
[IP-] [  ] kde-base/kdeartwork-meta-4.14.3:4
[IP-] [  ] kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves-4.14.3:4/4.14
[IP-] [  ] kde-base/kdebase-meta-4.14.3:4
[IP-] [  ] kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta-4.14.3:4


And in doing that the 4.14.3 applications such as kontact and friends among others will continue to work in KF5 and Plasma5?

Thank you;

George

Thank you, and yes kontact and friends are working fine, I ultimately uninstalled the meta packages, I figured I'd work out how to make some sets so they don't go away with a depclean.

Some minor issues to work through, some plasmoids that I really like are missing, but over all it looks nice, and it handles my high DPI screen better that KDE4 did so I'm happy with it so far.

Does your systemtray work, because mine does not (this seems to be a common
problem)?
