| | #REDIRECT [[Plasma/Live_Images]] |
| | |
| ==Kubuntu==
| |
| | |
| '''Packages for Kubuntu Utopic''' Next and Next backports PPAs for Utopic (14.10) are now deprecated.
| |
| | |
| To test upgrade to Vivid, please use the PPA-purge package to remove those PPAs and packages, and then install `kubuntu-desktop` meta-package, and finally:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| before initiating:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| sudo kubuntu-devel-release-upgrade
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| to move to [http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-vivid-beta-1 Vivid beta].
| |
| [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UtopicUpgrades/Kubuntu Full instructions to upgrade from 14.10].
| |
| | |
| '''Live Image of Kubuntu Vivid with Packages from Git''' The [http://files.kde.org/snapshots/ Weekly Live Image], updated every Friday with latest source from Git to run a full system from a USB disk. Based on Kubuntu 15.04, Vivid.
| |
| | |
| KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 is available in the '''Vivid development version''' of Kubuntu, now in [http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-vivid-beta-1 beta].
| |
| | |
| ==openSUSE==
| |
| openSUSE offers snapshots from git master updated frequently as well. Add the KDE:Unstable:Frameworks repository (http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories#Plasma_Next) and the Qt53 repository (available at the same link) and install the plasma-next-session package to have a session available at the next login.
| |
| | |
| ==Gentoo==
| |
| | |
| Gentoo provides beta as well as live ebuilds inside kde overlay, with dependencies in qt overlay. The following assumes you have a basic understanding of Gentoo Portage and already [http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Layman set up layman] initially:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| layman -a kde && layman -a qt
| |
| emerge @kde-next-live --autounmask-write=y
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| | |
| To make the most of it, run
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| layman -S && smart-live-rebuild
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| to get the latest packaging changes for qt and kde and update any ''live'' packages that got new commits since last time.
| |
| | |
| See also: [http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:KDE/Frameworks Gentoo KDE/Frameworks Packaging Status]
| |
| | |
| ==Fedora==
| |
| Now that Plasma 5 has been released, Fedora packaging only tracks the official Plasma 5 releases, not snapshots. See [[Plasma/Packages#Fedora]] for installation instructions.
| |
| | |
| ==Arch==
| |
| Plasma 5 workspace is available through the official repositories. For the full installation, simply install [https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/plasma-next/ plasma-next].<br />
| |
| Frameworks 5 libraries are also in the official repositories under [https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/kf5/ kf5] and [https://www.archlinux.org/groups/x86_64/kf5-aids/ kf5-aids].<br />
| |
| There are git versions of the above, as well as many other Frameworks 5 applications installable through the [https://aur.archlinux.org/ AUR].
| |
| | |
| See the [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE KDE] page on the ArchWiki for more information.
| |
| | |
| ==siduction==
| |
| | |
| Right now the latest installation disks of siduction (indiansummer release) are providing KDE SC 4.x, however you can upgrade from your KDE SC 4 installation to KDE Frameworks + Plasma 5 + KDE Applications using the kdenext repository. You can also install KDE's Plasma 5 from stcratch and you can install Plasma 5 if you are using a non-KDE flavour of siduction, like "siduction lxde", see below.
| |
| | |
| '''To install Plasma 5 from scratch:'''
| |
| * Dowload a KDE indiansummer iso and install it, see: http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?page=8
| |
| * Once installed, follow the instructions below to upgrade from KDE SC 4 to Plasma 5.
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''To upgrade from KDE SC 4 to Frameworks + Plasma 5 + latest KDE Applications:'''
| |
| * In a siduction installation with KDE SC 4, add the unstable and kde-frameworks suite of the kdenext repository to your sources.list:
| |
| deb http://packages.siduction.org/kdenext unstable main
| |
| * Perform a dist-upgrade.
| |
| * It's recommended to install either kde-standard or kde-full (whichever you prefer) after the upgrade.
| |
| * If you find issues with the upgrade (such as apt-get/aptitude wanting to remove packages which shouldn't be removed) please use the [http://forum.siduction.org/ siduction forum] to report the issue.
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''To install KDE's Plasma 5 in a non-KDE siduction flavour:'''
| |
| * Add the kde-frameworks suite of the kdenext repository to your sources.list:
| |
| deb http://packages.siduction.org/kdenext unstable main
| |
| * Install either the package kde-standard or kde-full, whichever you prefer. After that you are suposed to be able to run plasma 5, no matter the login manager you are using.
| |
| | |
| | |
| '''To replace the old kdm with other login manager:'''
| |
| | |
| The old kdm login manager is obsolete and is going to be removed from our repositories sooner or later, so we recommend you to switch to lightdm (the default login manager in siduction) or if you are a bit more adventurous to sddm.
| |
| * '''To switch to lightdm''':
| |
| Install the lightdm settings for your release, this will install lightdm automatically; when asked, select lightdm as the default login manager.
| |
| If you are using indiansummer:
| |
| apt-get install siduction-settings-lightdm-gtk-indiansummer
| |
| If you are using the december release:
| |
| apt-get install siduction-settings-lightdm-gtk-december
| |
| If you are using a release which is not december nor indiansummer, you should install the indiansummer settings.
| |
| * '''To swtich to sddm'''
| |
| apt-get install sddm kde-config-sddm
| |
| And select sddm as default login manager when asked.
| |
| | |
| ==From Source==
| |
| Following the instructions here it will automatically build all KDE software that has a KF5 port, most notably the Plasma workspaces, but also development previews of Kate, Konsole and Dolphin.
| |
| | |
| Afterwards follow the guides for "Runtime setup" and then run "kwin --replace" and "plasmashell".
| |
| | |
