Hi
I'm resurrecting this thread because this is the 4th time of building
Plasma(nothing unusual), but this time it is into a brand new 7.9
systemd box. The new LFS is running fine using the nouveau driver and
boots into Xorg. But once again, after installing all dependencies
for Frameworks and Plasma 5.6.2, it will not boot. I can't tell you
the frustration involved here. An error log is attached.
I'm not using any login manager. This error log is from the the command
line after 'startx' and I'm getting a message saying
"All shell packages missing. This is an installation issue, please
contact your distribution"
If I boot into twm I can run konsole from an xterm window which seems
okay. If I then run plasmashell from xterm I get similar errors
refering to "All shell packages missing".
How is this whole thing possible? KDE4 seemed so easy. Any ideas
here, I've trawled the internet with no real success.
We are in the process of updating KDE to a new version, but are waiting
for upstream to release the next version. It should be later this week.
That said, I ran into similar problems when first trying out plasma. The
solution was the commands at the end of the plasma install:
cd $KF5_PREFIX/share/plasma/plasmoids
for j in $(find -name \*.js); do
as_root ln -sfv ../code/$(basename $j) $(dirname $j)/../ui/
done
Look to see if you have the symbolic links set up properly. You should
have something like:
/opt/kf5-5.21.0/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.taskmanager/contents/ui/tools.js
-> ../code/tools.js
I have 38 such links.
