| = Configure dbus =
| |
| Because we installed Plasma 5 to a custom path, we need to make dbus aware of these new locations.
| |
|
| |
| Create a file /etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf with the following contents:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-Bus Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
| |
| "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
| |
| <busconfig>
| |
| <servicedir>/opt/kde/install/share/dbus-1/services</servicedir>
| |
| </busconfig>
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Create another file /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf with the following contents:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-Bus Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
| |
| "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">
| |
| <busconfig>
| |
| <servicedir>/opt/kde/install/share/dbus-1/system-services</servicedir>
| |
| <includedir>/opt/kde/install/etc/dbus-1/system.d</includedir>
| |
| </busconfig>
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Because dbus will load all these new paths each time you login, you should rename these files (to eg system-local.conf.bk and session-local.conf.bk) before starting your default Plasma 4 or other distro sessions.
| |

| = Running Plasma =
| |
| Finally, there are several ways of running Plasma 5. Choose the one which suits you best.
| |
| | |
| == Using a login manager==
| |
| The recommended login manager is SDDM. But this method should work with any login manager.
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| sudo cp /opt/kde/runPlasma5.sh /usr/share/xsessions
| |
| sudo chmod +x /usr/share/xsessions/runPlasma5.sh
| |
| sudo cp /opt/kde/install/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop /usr/share/xsessions/plasmaGit.desktop
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| Edit /usr/share/xsessions/plasmaGit.desktop and change the paths as:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| Exec=/usr/share/xsessions/runPlasma5.sh
| |
| TryExec=/usr/share/xsessions/runPlasma5.sh
| |
| Name=Plasma Git
| |
| </pre>
| |
| After this logout of your current session, select Plasma Git in the options and login. You should now have the last Plasma 5 running.
| |
| | |
| == Using ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env ==
| |
| This is what I found works on Debian Sid nicely. Put the script which sets up the environment into ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env, chmod +x it and be done. Aside from the "Using a login manager" approach probably – I didn´t test it –, this is the only thing that worked on Debian. Additionally to that it does not need any changes to system wide configuration files. This directory replaced ~/.kde/env from KDE SC 4 and older times.
| |
| | |
| Specifically none of the put it into some user wide or system wide shell profile files worked. Also putting it at start of /usr/bin/startkde worked, as environment still got reset to the default.
| |
| | |
| == From the command line ==
| |
| Edit your xinitrc file:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| mv ~/.xinitrc ~/.xinitrc.bk # Backup any existing xinitrc file
| |
| ln -s /opt/kde/runPlasma5.sh ~/.xinitrc
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| Log out of your current session, login to a tty (eg tty2 by pressing <code>Ctrl+Alt+F2</code>) and run <code>startx</code>. This should read your ~/.xinitrc and log you into a Plasma 5 desktop.
