KDE
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.

Requisitos previos
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:
root #eselect profile list[1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 [2] default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux [3] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop [4] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome [5] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd [6] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma [7] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma/systemd ...
A continuación, seleccione el perfil adecuado, sustituyendo X con el número del perfil correspondiente:
root #eselect profile set XPara un completo entorno de escritorio KDE, se recomienda utilizar el perfil desktop/plasma, que se adapta para su uso con OpenRC. Si se usa systemd, elija desktop/kde/systemd en su lugar. Para un entorno de escritorio Plasma 5 elija desktop/plasma con OpenRC o desktop/plasma/systemd con systemd.
Servicios
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.
Servidor X

root #emerge --ask kde-plasma/plasma-metaAlternatively, kde-plasma/plasma-desktop provides the basic desktop, leaving users free to install only the extra packages they require:
root #emerge --ask kde-plasma/plasma-desktopPlease note that such installations will be missing important packages such as kde-plasma/powerdevil (power management, suspend and hibernate options) and kde-plasma/systemsettings if this alternative installation is used.
Widgets
Muchos útiles widgets se encuentran en el paquete kde-plasma/kdeplasma-addons (el cuál ya es incluido en kde-plasma/plasma-meta):
root #emerge --ask kde-plasma/kdeplasma-addonsGestor de pantallas
SDDM (Simple Desktop Display Manager) is the recommended login manager and is pulled in automatically via kde-plasma/plasma-meta by default. This is the preferred option. Alternatively, LightDM can be used and pulled in by setting USE flag -sddm for kde-plasma/plasma-meta. Change the setting accordingly in /etc/conf.d/xdm. Also, be sure to read through the SDDM page if further issues appear.
KWallet auto-unlocking
Many users will be introduced to kde-frameworks/kwallet, Plasma's safe password management, while adding a (wireless) network connection after login. On many systems, there will actually be a second KWallet service present - kde-apps/kwalletd is there to provide the same password storage functions to kdelibs4-based applications. kde-plasma/kwallet-pam provides a mechanism to avoid being subsequently asked for access to kwallet after login.
root #emerge --ask kde-plasma/kwallet-pamIt 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 x11-misc/sddm and x11-misc/lightdm fulfill that requirement:
/etc/pam.d/sddmAdding lines for KWallet PAM unlocking via SDDM-auth optional pam_kwallet5.so -session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start # The following two lines will also unlock kwalletd for kdelibs4-based applications -auth optional pam_kwallet.so kdehome=.kde4 -session optional pam_kwallet.so
For LightDM, /etc/pam.d/lightdm needs to be edited instead.
For managing kwallets, importing and exporting passwords, there is kde-apps/kwalletmanager:
root #emerge --ask kde-apps/kwalletmanagerFor managing kwallets for kdelibs4-based applications like kopete or kmail:4:
root #emerge --ask kde-apps/kwalletmanager:4SSH/GPG Agent startup/shutdown scripts
ssh-agent scripts are located in /etc/plasma/startup and /etc/plasma/shutdown. The Keychain article provides more information about this.
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 4 and 5. 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 when two packages depend on slot 4 and 5 of the same library that can not be installed at the same time - such packages are dropped from *-meta.
Versiones disponibles
| KDE | Gentoo | Repository | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDE Applications 16.08.3 | kde-apps/kde-apps-meta-16.08.3 | gentoo | Stable for amd64 and x86 |
| KDE Applications 16.12.2 | kde-apps/kde-apps-meta-16.12.2 | gentoo | Testing for amd64 and x86 |

| KDE Applications master branch | kde-apps/kde-apps-meta-9999 | kde overlay | Live version |
KDE Applications is divided in the following meta packages:
| Package name | Description |
|---|---|
| kde-apps/kdeaccessibility-meta | Accessibility applications and utilities. |
| kde-apps/kdeadmin-meta | Administrative utilities, which helps in managing the system. |
| kde-apps/kdecore-meta | Basic applications such as file browser, editor, terminal emulator. |
| kde-apps/kdeedu-meta | Educational applications and games. |
| kde-apps/kdegames-meta | Standard desktop games. |
| kde-apps/kdegraphics-meta | Graphics applications such as image viewers, color pickers, etc. |
| kde-apps/kdemultimedia-meta | Audio and video playback applications and services. |
| kde-apps/kdenetwork-meta | Network applications and VNC services. |
| kde-apps/kdepim-meta | PIM applications such as emailer, addressbook, organizer, etc. |
| kde-apps/kdesdk-meta | Various development tools. |
| kde-apps/kdeutils-meta | Standard desktop utilities such as a archiver, a calculator, etc. |
| kde-apps/kdewebdev-meta | Web development tools. |
Installation
The kde-apps/kde-apps-meta package provides the full Applications bundle, but alternatively, one or several smaller meta packages from the list above may be picked instead:
root #emerge --ask kde-apps/kde-apps-metaCambiar el idioma
While Frameworks and Plasma are shipping their translations per-package, localization of KDE Applications is provided via separate *-l10n packages. The nls USE flag is enabled by default for linux profiles, and it is used by KDE Applications meta packages to pull in the necessary dependencies.
If only a select few languages are desired, define the L10N variable in /etc/portage/make.conf. E.g. to use the German language, set:
/etc/portage/make.confSetting the L10N variable for the German languageL10N="de"
To manually install these localization packages instead, use the following (complete) list or pick as desired:
root #emerge --ask kde-l10n kde4-l10n kdepim-l10nWhile the first two contain translations for the majority of KDE Applications (slot 5 and 4), the latter directly corresponds to - and is only relevant to users of - kde-apps/kdepim-meta or its related packages.
KDE PIM
Available versions
In Portage, three variants of the KDE Personal Information Management (KDE PIM) suite (including kde-apps/kmail, kde-apps/kontact, and kde-apps/korganizer) are available.
| KDE | Gentoo | Repository | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDE PIM 4.4.2016.01 | kde-apps/kdepim-meta-4.4.2016.01 | gentoo | Stable for amd64 and x86 |
| KDE PIM 4.14.11_pre20160211 | kde-apps/kdepim-meta-4.14.11_pre20160211 | gentoo | Stable for amd64 and x86 |
| KDE PIM 16.12.2 | kde-apps/kdepim-meta-16.12.2 | gentoo | Testing for amd64 and x86 |
KDE PIM 4.14.11 and earlier
At the time of writing, the current stable version range is at 4.14.11, which includes an Akonadi-based kmail (also known as kmail2) and is still based on Qt 4/KDElibs 4.
In addition, a "noakonadi fork" is available as version 4.4.2016.01 (also known as kmail1). Adding a mask file to /etc/portage/package.mask is necessary to get it:
root #wget https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/kde.git/plain/Documentation/package.mask/kdepim-4.7 -O /etc/portage/package.mask/kdepim-4.7Both variants are beginning to conflict with newer versions of packages. Adding certain per-package USE flag settings can solve some conflicts currently:
/etc/portage/package.use/kdepim-4>=app-crypt/gpgme-1.8.0 -cxx -qt5 app-office/kmymoney:4 pim >=kde-apps/kwalletd-16.04.3-r1 -gpg >=kde-frameworks/kwallet-5.29.0-r1 -gpg
root #emerge --ask kde-apps/kdepim-metaKDE PIM 16.12 and later
The latest upstream release based on Qt 5/KF 5 remains testing until it is deemed suitable for stable use, but testing is appreciated.
Most, but not all of the codebase has been ported from dev-qt/qtwebkit to dev-qt/qtwebengine which is based on Chromium's Blink. By default, this package sets and uses the system-ffmpeg USE flag, which comes down to a media-video/ffmpeg package dependency, so users preferring media-video/libav for the rest of their system will need to switch off that USE flag.
Unfortunately, not all of the KDE Applications are compatible yet, with some packages still depending on Qt 4/KDElibs 4 based parts that can not be installed with modern KDE PIM at the same time. That includes kde-apps/kopete, kde-apps/klinkstatus, and possibly other packages outside of the kde-apps category. By default, these packages are no longer installed by kde-apps/kde-apps-meta.
The following commands will deselect any packages from world that would still depend on these conflicting packages:
root #equery -q d kde-apps/kdepim-common-libs | sed -e "s/-[0-9].*//" | xargs emerge --deselect
root #equery -q d kde-apps/kdepimlibs | sed -e "s/-[0-9].*//" | xargs emerge --deselect
root #equery -q d kde-apps/akonadi | sed -e "s/-[0-9].*//" | xargs emerge --deselectThis requires app-portage/gentoolkit to be installed. The Gentoolkit article provides more information about this useful utility.
Some conflicts with older packages may be solved by adding per-package USE flag settings:
/etc/portage/package.use/kdepim-16.12app-accessibility/simon -pim app-office/calligra:4 -pim kde-apps/kget:4 -gpg <=kde-apps/kwalletd-16.04.3:4 -gpg kde-apps/pykde4 -akonadi kde-misc/tellico:4 -addressbook
With all that prepared, KDE PIM is ready to be installed:
root #emerge --ask kde-apps/kdepim-metakdesu5
The utility that is used to run GUI programs as root is provided by kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools. If built with USE flag kdesu, a graphical frontend to kde-frameworks/kdesu is installed, which can be used by invoking kdesu5.
As always, ensure that the command actually needs to run as root, versus adding the regular user to the relevant groups or simply just running the command unprivileged.
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—.
