Quick start

Graphics first

For a VirtualBox virtual machine:

  1. preset the machine to VBoxSVGA – not VMSVGA
  2. start the machine
  3. install emulators/virtualbox-ose-additions 6.1.36_1 or greater
  4. observe the package message.

For a real machine, see <https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics>.

KDE and the rest

  1. pkg install --quiet --yes kde5 plasma5-sddm-kcm sddm xorg
  2. sysrc dbus_enable="YES" && service dbus start
  3. sysrc sddm_enable="YES" && service sddm start
  4. when logging in, you may want to avoid the Plasma (Wayland) … default that's presented by sddm – for NVidia GPUs, Wayland is not yet reliable.

Setup, in greater detail

To install the current official release, get ports or packages.

To install the bleeding edge, get area51.

After you have installed your preferred version – official ports of KDE Plasma 5, or (as of early 2017) KDE Frameworks, Plasma Workspace and Applications from area51 – a few more steps are required.

X Window System

KDE on FreeBSD currently requires X.Org. Installation of x11/org is described in the FreeBSD Handbook. Whilst X.Org is designed to work automatically wherever possible, it's sometimes necessary to spend some time on configuration.

Other requirements

Without this:

  • the X Window System might not recognise your keyboard, mouse or other pointing device
  • some KDE software will not run.
D-Bus

devel/dbus

sysrc dbus_enable="YES" && service dbus start

https://man.freebsd.org/dbus-daemon(1)

Starting KDE Plasma 5 Workspace

After installing KDE Plasma 5 Workspace, you must also install SDDM.

Installing

The easiest way to get KDE running (on nearly every FreeBSD box) is to install the KDE binary packages from the standard FreeBSD repository.

#Installing by using the Binary Package Management

The other way to install the KDE is to compile it from (FreeBSD) ports.

#Installing by using the FreeBSD Ports Collection

And you can also install by cloning and compiling sources directly like for Area 51.

#Installing by using the sources for the FreeBSD Port

Installing by using the Binary Package Management

FreeBSD Handbook:Installing Applications: Packages and Ports/Using pkg for Binary Package Management

The default repository for binary packages on FreeBSD is quarterly. An alternate repository for FreeBSD is latest provided from FreeBSD as well.

#Changing the binary packages repository

It is recommended to install and use (#X.Org minimal or) #X.Org.

It is recommended to install and use #SDDM.

Installing only the small stack of KDE Plasma by using the Binary Package Management

Installing the binary package x11/plasma5-plasma (KDE5 plasma meta port)

pkg ins -y plasma5-plasma

#Installing the minimal stack of X.Org by using the Binary Package Management

Optional (To have a first terminal emulator.) installing the (recommended) binary package x11/konsole

pkg ins -y konsole

Installing only a basic stack of KDE by using the Binary Package Management

#Installing only the small stack of KDE Plasma by using the Binary Package Management

Installing the binary package x11/kde-baseapps (KDE5 baseapps meta port)

Installing the full stack of KDE by using the Binary Package Management

Installing the binary package x11/kde5 (KDE Plasma Desktop and Applications (current))

pkg ins -y kde5

#Installing the full stack of X.Org by using the Binary Package Management

Installing Wayland by using the Binary Package Management

Running KDE with Wayland do not work (2020-02).

To install the binary package (integration plugins for a Wayland-based desktop), please see:

https://www.freshports.org/x11/plasma5-kwayland-integration/#add

Installing X.Org by using the Binary Package Management

Installing the minimal stack of X.Org by using the Binary Package Management

For more than one user a comma-separated list of user names (for example kde-user-1 and kde-user-2).
pw groupmod video -m kde-user-1,kde-user-2

Installing SDDM by using the Binary Package Management

Installing the binary package x11/sddm

pkg ins -y sddm

#Installing the minimal stack of X.Org by using the Binary Package Management

additional packages

Optional installing the binary package deskutils/plasma5-sddm-kcm

pkg ins -y plasma5-sddm-kcm

Optional installing the binary package x11-themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme

Changing the binary packages repository

On FreeBSD are a lot of useful tools that optional can be used. For example there is beadm (package sysutils/beadm), a tool to create create and manage ZFS snapshots of your system (independent from your home directory data).

Checking the binary packages repository

Optional printing the standard configuration file for the pkg binary package management (to the standard output)

cat /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf

On a default FreeBSD you should get the following.


FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}

Optional checking the standard directory for custom configurations of the pkg binary package management and printing all configuration files in the standard directory for custom repositories of the pkg binary package management (to the standard output)

ls /local/etc/pkg/ && cat /local/etc/pkg/repos/*

On a default FreeBSD you should get the following.

ls: /local/etc/pkg/: No such file or directory
