 Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2016 1:05 pm Post subject: No startx in kde plasma 5? [solved] |
 |
|
I don't like login managers and don't need them. Maybe a leftover from when I had regular X-driver problems and would get lots of black screens that were hard to debug. Startx at least drops you back to the command line with some error messages.
After I followed the KDE 5 upgrade, I found that kdebase-startkde was unmerged, and that's the one KDE4 part that you need in order to use startx. When I re-emerged it (yes you still can), about 85 KDE4 packages came with it.
Not so good. This won't last forever, and then I will be SOL with KDE 5. I will not use a login manager. Linux is about choice right? And working how YOU want.
My current .xinitrc is:
| Code: | | exec ck-launch-session startkde |
Is there a mechanism to start kde without a window manager that can be used in .xinitrc?
Thanks in advance!

Plasma-5 has no business with kdebase-startkde. I'm actually wondering how you are able to install it, because that installs kde-base/kwin, and that ultimately blocks with kde-plasma/kwin (actually, blockers galore with Plasma-5). So basically what you may have running now is Plasma-4.
| Code: | $ equery b startkde
* Searching for startkde ...
kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-5.8.2 (/usr/bin/startkde) |
You can still start Plasma-5 perfectly fine with startx. Where did you get the impression that was not the case? |

| Looks like I must have stopped with a half finished upgrade. I will post a summary when it all finishes merging. |

In fact it all works. I had to unmerge the erroneous kdebase-startkde from KDE4, and emerge the one from KDE5,
and now it works, just like it did before with the new KDE. Not super smooth, but way better than from KDE3 to KDE4.
Thanks! |

yes plasma5 already not ported at 100% and if you're not careful it install kde4 and qt4 stuff on s.o
i have a clean qt5/kde5 system right now but some app like okular or kfind are not posible to install without kde4 stuff.
i have blocked, for safety, some USE's on make.conf --> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7687980.html#7687980

Plasma-5 is fully ported. It only optionally pulls in integration for Qt4 as most people still have those applications installed.

KDE Applications contain both kdelibs4- and KF5-based packages. But you are always free to choose your own set of individual packages. kfind-16.12 will be KF5-based, and I haven't lost hope for okular yet.
-kde will not only deactivate kdelibs4-based features but also some KF5-based ones. |

fully ported for me means also qt5

like which ones? for the moment every package that have +kde USE, ask for me to install kdelibs...
the "kde" would be "plasma" USE, isen't it?

Plasma 5 MEANS Qt5. Plasma 5 also optionally provides gtk2 and gtk3 integration - would you say that makes it gtk2 or gtk3 based?

No, that one means Plasma Widgets. |
