KDE/fr

KDE is a free software community, producing a wide range of applications including the popular Plasma desktop environment.

Gentoo support for KDE is excellent, with comprehensive packaging of the legacy KDE SC 4, next generation KDE Frameworks, Plasma, and Applications 5, as well as a wide array of other miscellaneous KDE-based software.

Profil
Choosing a KDE desktop profile in case of KDE SC 4 or a Plasma desktop profile in case of Plasma 5, although not required, is recommended as it sets a number of global and package-specific USE flags to ease installation and ensure a smooth KDE experience.

In order to choose the most suitable profile, first list what's available:

Sélectionnez ensuite le profil en remplaçant  par le nombre correspondant au profil désiré :

For a full KDE desktop environment it is recommended to use the  profile, which is tailored for use with OpenRC. If systemd is used, choose  instead. For Plasma 5 desktop environment choose  with OpenRC or   with systemd.

Services
Avant d'installer KDE SC il est conseillé de configurer d'abord quelques services. Ceci est réalisé en partie automatiquement si un profil desktop/kde ou desktop est utilisé. Ces services sont:
 * D-Bus: active l'utilisation du bus de messages système D-Bus.
 * polkit: active l'infrastructure  polkit pour le contrôle des  privilèges des services au niveau du système entier.
 * udev: active la prise en charge du nommage des périphériques dynamique et persistent de Linux udev.
 * udisks: active la prise en charge de quelques services relatifs aux périphériques de stockage.

Follow the links for information how to set up these services. Note that other USE flag combinations than set in this profile may technically be possible (especially if selected applications are run instead of a full KDE desktop environment), but may be unsupported, untested, or lead to unexpected loss of functionality.

Le serveur X
Lisez et conformez-vous aux instructions de l'article sur le serveur X pour configurer l'environnement X.

KDE SC 4
KDE SC 4 is the previous major version of KDE. There is no more feature development, but it is still supported by upstream with bugfix releases. It is considered stable, and is recommended for most users.

Paquets
Dans Gentoo, il y a plusieurs paquets pour installer un environnement KDE :
 * , la suite KDE complète
 * , un environnement KDE de base
 * , un environnement très minimal et non pris en charge (pas d'application KDE ou artwork)

Démarrer avec le paquet pour ajouter ensuite les programmes de votre choix est une bonne idée:

There are other meta packages that can be installed to pull in parts of the KDE suite:
 * : Accessibility applications and utilities.
 * : Administrative utilities, which helps in managing the system.
 * : Extra themes, screensavers, etc.
 * : Bindings for various languages.
 * : Educational applications and games.
 * : Standard desktop games.
 * : Graphics applications such as image viewers, color pickers, etc.
 * : Audio and video playback applications and services.
 * : Network applications and VNC services.
 * : PIM applications such as emailer, addressbook, organizer, etc.
 * : Various development tools.
 * : Toy like applications.
 * : Standard desktop utilities such as a archiver, a calculator, etc.
 * : Web development tools.

Localisation
To localize the KDE installation, install the package. If only a selected few languages needs to set, define the  variable beforehand in

E.g. to use the German language, set:

Pour localiser les paquets inclus dans installez le paquet.

possède également son propre paquet de localisation:.

Display manager
KDM (KDE Display Manager) is the recommended login manager and is pulled in automatically via.

OpenRC
Définir KDM comme  gestionnaire de connexion  par défaut :

Pour démarrer KDM au démarrage, ajoutez xdm au niveau d'exécution par défaut :

Pour démarrer KDM tout de suite :

systemd
Activez KDM au démarrage via la commande systemctl :

KDE Frameworks, Plasma, and Applications 5
The next generation of KDE splits the SC into three components, each with their own individual release cycles: KDE Frameworks 5, KDE Plasma 5, and KDE Applications.

Frameworks
KDE Frameworks 5 is a collection of libraries and software frameworks that provide the foundation for KDE Plasma 5 and KDE Applications 5, but may be leveraged by any Qt application.

As Frameworks are mostly libraries and provide little user functionality, it's not necessary to install them manually - the required packages will be pulled in automatically as dependencies.

Plasma
Plasma 5 is the next generation of KDE's desktop environment, based on Qt 5 and KDE Frameworks 5. Upgrading is fairly simple, although it cannot be coinstalled with Plasma 4 due to upstream design decisions.

Note that while Plasma 5 is in a good state, it is still under heavy upstream development and is missing some features present in KDE 4.

Installation information can be found on the upgrade page.

Widgets
Beaucoup de widgets (petits composants graphiques utilitaires) pratique se trouvent dans le paquet. Pour KDE4, utilisez :

Pour Plasma 5, vous pouvez utiliser :

Plus de programmes KDE
Les applications KDE les plus importantes se trouvent dans le paquet kde-base et dans la catégorie kde-misc.
