KDE/pt-br

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.

Perfil
A escolha de um perfil de desktop KDE, embora não seja obrigatório, é recomendado, pois define um número de variáveis globais e específicos de USE para facilitar a instalação e garantir uma experiência suave KDE.

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

Then, select the right profile, substituting  with the appropriate profile number:

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.

Serviços
Antes de instalar o KDE SC recomenda-se que vários outros serviços são criados em primeiro lugar. Parte do que é feito automaticamente se uma perfil desktop/kde ou desktop é usado. Estes serviços são:
 * D-Bus: Permite o uso do sistema de mensagem de barramento D-Bus,
 * polkit: Permite que o quadro polkit para controlar privilégios para os serviços de todo o sistema.
 * udev: Permite o suporte para dinâmico e persistente nomeação de dispositivos Linux udev.
 * udisks: Permite o suporte para alguns serviços de relacionado a armazenamento.

Siga os links para obter informação sobre como configurar esses serviços. Note-se que outras combinações de USE em esse perfil pode ser tecnicamente possível (especialmente se os aplicativos selecionados reprisa em vez de um ambiente de desktop KDE completo), mas pode não ser suportados, não testados, ou levar a perda inesperada de funcionalidade.

O Servidor X
Leia e siga as instruções no artigo servidor X para configurar o ambiente X.

KDE SC 4
KDE SC 4 é a versão principal anterior do KDE. Não há mais desenvolvimento de recursos, mas ainda é suportado pelo "upstream" com lançamentos de reparação de erros. É considerado estável, e é recomendado para a maioria dos usuários.

Pacotes
In Gentoo there are various packages that will install a KDE environment:
 * , the full KDE suite
 * , a basic KDE environment
 * , a very minimal, effectively unsupported KDE environment (no KDE applications or artwork)

It is usually a good idea to start with the package and install the additional software when needed:

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.

Localization
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:

To localize the packages included in install the  package.

has its own localization package too:.

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

OpenRC
Set KDM as the default display manager:

To start KDM on boot, add xdm to the default runlevel:

To start KDM now:

systemd
Enable KDM at boot time through systemctl:

Now start the service:

KDE Frameworks, Plasma,e Aplicações 5
A próxima geração do KDE divide o SC em três componentes, cada um com seus próprios ciclos individuais de lançamento: KDE Frameworks 5, KDE Plasma 5, e Aplicações KDE.

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
Many useful widget are in the package:

More KDE software
The most important KDE applications are in the portage tree and many are located in the kde-base and kde-misc categories.
