KDE/es

KDE es una comunidad de software libre, que produce una amplia gama de aplicaciones, incluyendo el conocido entorno de escritorio Plasma.

El soporte para KDE en Gentoo es excelente, con un empaquetado completo de KDE Frameworks 5, Plasma 5 y aplicaciones de KDE 5, así como una amplia gama de programas diversos basados ​​en KDE.

Perfil
La elección de un perfil adecuado es recomendable aunque no obligatorio ya que establece una serie de parámetros USE, tanto globales como para programas específicos, que facilitan la instalación y garantizan una experiencia de KDE sin problemas.

Con el fin de elegir el perfil más adecuado, primero liste los que están disponibles:

A continuación, seleccione el perfil adecuado, sustituyendo  con el número del perfil correspondiente:

Para un completo entorno de escritorio KDE, se recomienda utilizar el perfil, que se adapta para su uso con OpenRC. Si se usa systemd, elija  en su lugar. Para un entorno de escritorio Plasma 5 elija  con OpenRC o   con systemd.

Servicios
Antes de instalar KDE SC se recomienda instalar previamente otros servicios. En parte, ello se hace automáticamente si se utiliza un perfil desktop/kde o desktop. Estos servicios son:
 * D-Bus: permite el uso del sistema bus para los mensajes de D-Bus.
 * polkit: activa el framework polkit para controlar los privilegios de los servicios en todo el sistema.
 * udev: activa el soporte de udev para nominar dispositivos de forma dinámica y permanente en Línux.
 * udisks: activa el soporte para algunos servicios relacionados con el almacenamiento.

Session tracker
Choose exactly one of:


 * elogind: Standalone logind package extracted from systemd project for use with OpenRC or other init systems.
 * systemd: Uses the session tracker part of systemd. Users of systemd do not need to take any other initiative here.
 * consolekit: Framework for defining and tracking users, login sessions, and seats. It is currently default for the profile.

Device manager
Choose exactly one of:


 * udev: Enables support for udev Linux dynamic and persistent device naming.
 * eudev: Fork of udev for better compatibility with older kernels and various toolchains.
 * systemd: Uses the device manager part of systemd. Users of systemd do not need to take any other initiative here.

Miscellaneous

 * D-Bus: Enables use of the D-Bus message bus system.
 * polkit: Enables the polkit framework for controlling privileges for system-wide services.
 * udisks: Enables support for some storage related services.

Package conflicts
KDE Plasma and Applications come with many dependencies. Some of these dependencies will predetermine package choices where otherwise there would be options to choose from.


 * FFmpeg: By default, has USE   enabled, making it depend on . Users preferring  for the rest of their system will need to switch off that flag.
 * JPEG: depends on . It is Gentoo's recommended default over  anyway.

Plasma
Plasma 5 es la actual generación del entorno de escritorio de KDE, basado en Qt 5 y KDE Frameworks 5.

Instalación
El paquete proporciona la suit completa de Plasma 5, configurada por los siguientes USE flags:

Alternatively, provides a very basic desktop, leaving users free to install only the extra packages they require - or rather, figure out missing features on their own.

Widgets
Muchos útiles widgets se encuentran en el paquete (el cuál ya es incluido en ):

Gestor de pantallas
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.

SDDM does not yet support multiseat, while LightDM does.

No display manager
Plasma can be started the old-fashioned way with, but extra care needs to be taken to ensure it gets a valid session.

System tray
Plasma 5 uses the StatusNotifier specification for systray icons. As not all applications have been ported to the new system, some workarounds exist, and Plasma 5 has a means to convert old xembed-based system tray icons to StatusNotifier icons.

Legacy support is enabled by activating  for, which is pulling in.

Pidgin
requires. After install, the Ubuntu Indicator plugin can be found under Tools | Plugins.

KWallet
Many users will be introduced to, Plasma's encrypted password storage, while adding a (wireless) network connection after login or adding E-Mail accounts in.

For managing KWallets, importing and exporting passwords, there is :

KWallet auto-unlocking
provides a mechanism to avoid being subsequently asked for access to kwallet after login.

It requires the following setup:
 * For KWallet security, use classic blowfish encryption instead of GPG
 * Choose same password for login and kwallet
 * Configure a display manager with support for PAM - both and  fulfill that requirement:

Disabling KWallet
To disable the KWallet subsystem completely, edit the following file:

SSH/GPG Agent startup/shutdown scripts
ssh-agent scripts are located in and. Shutdown scripts require executable bit set because they are not sourced. The Keychain article provides more information about this.

Run GUI applications with root privileges
KDE Plasma has a utility in order to start graphical programs with root privileges. It is provided by - if built with USE flag , a graphical frontend to  is installed. This requires Xorg, and only works within X.

Remember to rebuild the package to pick up the changes:

It can be used by invoking either from KRunner or a terminal emulator:

A message dialog will be displayed prompting for the root password.

Applications
Releases consist of various applications and supporting libraries based on Qt 5/KDE Frameworks 5.

Versiones disponibles
KDE Applications is divided in the following meta packages:

Installation
The package provides the full Applications bundle, but alternatively, one or several smaller meta packages from the list above may be picked instead:

Cambiar el idioma
Plasma-5 and Applications are shipping their localization per-package. Enable your localization in systemsettings.

KDE PIM
KDE PIM is a whole suite of applications to manage personal information including mail, calendar, contacts and more. It has several optional runtime dependencies to extend its functionality:


 * Virus detection:
 * Spam filtering: or

Frameworks
KDE Frameworks 5 es una colección de bibliotecas y de software frameworks que proporcionan la base para KDE Plasma 5 y las aplicaciones de KDE 5, pero puede ser aprovechado por cualquier aplicación Qt.

Como los frameworks son, en su mayoría, bibliotecas y proporcionan poca funcionalidad de usuario, ello hace que no sea necesaria su instalación de forma manual —los paquetes requeridos serán obtenidos automáticamente, así como sus dependencias—.

Las aplicaciones para KDE más importantes están en el árbol portage y muchas se encuentran en las categorías kde-apps y kde-misc.
