KDE/fr

"KDE" est une communauté de développement de logiciels libres qui produit une large gamme d'applications, y compris le populaire environnement de bureau Plasma.

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

Profil
Choisissant un profil approprié, bien que non requis, est recommandé vu qu'il fixe un nombre de "USE flags" pour simplifier l'installation et assurer une expérience KDE harmonieuse.

Afin de choisir le profil le plus adéquat, d'abord listez ce qui est disponible :

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

For Plasma 5 desktop environment choose  with OpenRC or   with systemd. For legacy Plasma 4 desktop environment it is recommended to use the  profile, which is tailored for use with OpenRC. If systemd is used, choose  instead.

Services
Before installing KDE related software it is recommended that several other services are set up first. Part of that is done automatically if a desktop/plasma or desktop profile is used. These services are:
 * D-Bus: Enables use of the D-Bus message bus system.
 * polkit: Enables the polkit framework for controlling privileges for system-wide services.
 * udev: Enables support for udev Linux dynamic and persistent device naming.
 * udisks: Enables support for some storage related services.

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 Plasma desktop environment), but may be unsupported, untested, or lead to unexpected loss of functionality.

Frameworks
KDE Frameworks 5 est une collection de bibliothèques et cadres de logiciel qui fournissent la base pour KDE Plasma 5 et KDE Applications 5, mais qui peuvent également être utilisés par n'importe quelle application Qt.

Comme les Frameworks sont souvent des bibliothèques et qui fournissent peu de fonctionnalité pour l'utilisateur, il n'est pas nécessaire de les installer manuellement - les paquets requis seront automatiquement installés comme des dépendances.

Plasma
Plasma 5 est la prochaine génération de l'environnement de bureau KDE, basée sur Qt5 et KDE Frameworks 5. La mise à niveau est simple, bien qu'il ne soit pas possible de l'installer en même temps avec Plasma 4, à cause des décisions de conception des développeurs.

Noter que, tandis que Plasam 5 est en bon état, elle est toujours sous un développement dense et manque quelque fonctionnalités présentes dans KDE 4.

Upgrade from Plasma 4
Information on how to upgrade from Plasma 4, migration and troubleshooting can be found on the upgrade page.

Installation
The package provides the full Plasma 5 suite, configured by the following USE flags:

Alternatively, provides the basic desktop, leaving users free to install only the extra packages they require:

Widgets
Many useful widgets are in the package:

Display manager
SDDM (Simple Desktop Display Manager) is the recommended login manager and is pulled in automatically via by default. This is the preferred option. Alternatively, LightDM can be used and pulled in by setting USE flag  for. Change the setting accordingly in. Also, be sure to read through the SDDM page if further issues appear.

Applications
Releases consist of various applications and supporting libraries based on Qt 5/KDE Frameworks 5 as well as Qt 4/KDElibs 4, with the latter still being in long term support mode. In Portage, the distinction is made using slots  and. Porting is an ongoing process where each major release is making inroads to Frameworks 5, and therefore contains both well matured and newly ported applications. Note that it also means potential dependency conflicts even within one major release, when two packages depend on slot 4 and 5 of the same library that can not be installed at the same time. The meta packages are taking these conflicts into account and will in some cases prefer the more reliable version over a new port.

Versions disponibles
The package provides the full Applications bundle:

It will install the following smaller meta packages, which of course can also be hand-picked:

Localisation
To localize KDE Applications, install the package. If only a selected few languages needs to set, define the L10N variable beforehand in

E.g pour utiliser la langue francaise, mettre:

To localize the packages included in install the  package.

KDE PIM
Two variants of KDE PIM, the KDE personal information management suite (including, , and ) are currently available, still based on Qt 4 / KDElibs 4. The current, up-to-date version including an Akonadi-based kmail (also known as kmail2) is installed by default. By locally placing a mask file into, the "noakonadi fork" is used including a non-Akonadi kmail (also known as kmail1).

kdesu5
The utility that is used to run GUI programs as is provided by. If built with USE flag, a graphical frontend to  is installed, which can be used by invoking.

As always, ensure that the command actually needs to run as, versus adding the regular user to the relevant groups or simply just running the command unprivileged.

Plasma 4
Plasma 4 is the previous major workspace version by KDE. Although it is no longer maintained upstream, it is considered stable and might still be a viable alternative for some.

Versions disponibles
This will pull in additional  and   packages.

Widgets
Many useful widgets are in the package:

Gestionnaire de connexion
KDM (KDE Display Manager) is the long-serving login manager for Plasma 4 although any other login manager can be used.

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
Enable KDM at boot time through :
