 Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2016 3:20 am Post subject: howto plasma kde 5 on gentoo minimal install |
 |
|
There is a gentoo kde 4 to 5 upgrade guide but very confusing for those installing kde 5 plasma from scratch on a new gentoo install.
I found myself constantly asking, do I need to do this if I'm not upgrading? and hoping for a kde 5 plasma only guide.
This howto hopes to help people installing kde 5 plasma from a fresh minimal install.
First go through the handbook and install gentoo:
ie. amd64 handbook
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64 minimal install
in the eselect section choose the plasma profile
| Code: | eselect profile list
Available profile symlink targets:
[1] default/linux/amd64/13.0
[2] default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux
[3] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop
[4] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome
[5] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd
[6] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde
[7] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd
[8] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma *
[9] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma/systemd
[10] default/linux/amd64/13.0/developer
[11] default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib
[12] default/linux/amd64/13.0/systemd
[13] default/linux/amd64/13.0/x32
[14] hardened/linux/amd64
[15] hardened/linux/amd64/selinux
[16] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib
[17] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib/selinux
[18] hardened/linux/amd64/x32
[19] hardened/linux/musl/amd64
[20] hardened/linux/musl/amd64/x32
[21] default/linux/uclibc/amd64
[22] hardened/linux/uclibc/amd64
eselect profile set 8 |
emerge world to pull the new plasma profile related software
I had to update CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx sse sse2 mmxext" to the following to get ffmpeg to compile
| Code: | | vim /etc/portage/make.conf |
| Code: | | CPU_FLAGS_X86="mmx sse sse2 mmxext" |
set X11 drivers as per gentoo X11 guide
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xorg/Guide
emerge x11 drivers and xors-server
| Code: | emerge --ask --verbose x11-base/xorg-drivers
emerge --ask x11-base/xorg-server
env-update
source /etc/profile
|
if you are ok with the minimal plasma install,
| Code: | | emerge --ask kde-plasma/plasma-desktop |
set .xinitrc to start kde
| Code: | | echo 'exec startkde' > ~/.xinitrc |
then startx to get into kde

Well, there is https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/KDE
plasma-desktop is missing quite essential bits, a guide should make that clear. plasma-meta, on the other hand, is very configurable through use flags.
Your ~/.xinitrc won't create a consolekit session for the user. |

Thank you. I did use bits and pieces of the gentoo KDE guide, but wasn't sure what applies to KDE 4 and what applies to KDE 5 so is a bit scary.
Will see if I can get console kit working and will report back. If all goes well, will add to this document.
Cheers, |
