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
Read relevant documentation before performing any profile changes.
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/amd64/17.1 (stable) [2] default/linux/amd64/17.1/selinux (stable) [3] default/linux/amd64/17.1/hardened (stable) [4] default/linux/amd64/17.1/hardened/selinux (stable) [5] default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop (stable) [6] default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome (stable) [7] default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd (stable) [8] default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/plasma (stable) [9] default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/plasma/systemd (stable) ...
A continuación, seleccione el perfil adecuado, sustituyendo X
con el número del perfil correspondiente:
root #
eselect profile set X
Para 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. Nótese que otra combinación de USE puede ser técnicamente posible (especialmente si selecciona correr aplicaciones en vez de un entorno plasma completo), pero puede no ser soportado, no testeado o llevar a una inesperada perdida de funcionalidad.
Servicios
Los servicios incorporarán automáticamente las configuraciones predeterminadas, mediante los pasos de instalación de los siguientes capítulos, según la selección de perfil realizada anteriormente, pero aún es necesario configurarlos correctamente antes de iniciar KDE Plasma por primera vez. Para cambiar las configuraciones predeterminadas se recomienda hacerlo antes de instalar KDE Plasma o KDE Release Service y usar emerge ‑‑oneshot
para que Portage tenga en cuenta estos cambios. Puede visitar los enlaces para obtener información sobre cómo configurar estos servicios.
Sistema de inicio
Solo debes elegir uno:
- elogind: Paquete de inicio de sesión predeterminado para desktop/plasma extraído del proyecto de systemd para usarlo com OpenRC u otros sistemas de inicio.
- systemd: Utiliza la parte de seguimiento de sesiones de systemd. Los usuarios de systemd no necesitan realizar ninguna otra acción adicional aquí.
Administrador de dispositivos
Solo debes elegir uno:
- udev: Habilita la compatibilidad con la nomenclatura dinámica y persistente de dispositivos de udev Linux.
- eudev: Bifurcación de udev para una mejor compatibilidad con kernels más antiguos y varias cadenas de herramientas.
- systemd Utiliza la parte del administrador de dispositivos de systemd. Los usuarios de systemd no necesitan tomar ninguna otra iniciativa aquí.
Varios
- D-Bus: Permite el uso del sistema de bus de mensajes D-Bus.
- polkit: Activa el marco polkit para controlar los privilegios de los servicios de todo el sistema.
- udisks: Habilita la compatibilidad con algunos servicios relacionados con el almacenamiento.

root #
emerge --ask kde-plasma/plasma-meta
Alternatively, kde-plasma/plasma-desktop 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.
Please note that installing just kde-plasma/plasma-desktop will exclude important packages needed for KDE to function, such as kde-plasma/powerdevil (power management, suspend and hibernate options), kde-plasma/systemsettings, and many more. This package should be used with the understanding that additional KDE packages will need to be installed to ensure a functioning environment. Do not expect support when using this package.
Gestor 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/display-manager. Also, be sure to read through the SDDM page if further issues appear.
Sin gestor de pantallas
Plasma can be started the old-fashioned way with startx, but extra care needs to be taken to ensure it gets a valid session.
~/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session startplasma-x11
When using Wayland, Plasma can be launched with dbus-launch --exit-with-session startplasma-wayland
This can be added to a user's profile file which will be executed when logging in:
~/.profile
#!/bin/sh dbus-launch --exit-with-session startplasma-wayland
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-addons
Bandeja del sistema
Plasma 5 uses the StatusNotifier specification for systray icons [1]. As not all applications have been ported to the new system, some workarounds exist [2], and Plasma 5 has a means to convert old xembed-based system tray icons to StatusNotifier icons.
Legacy support is enabled by activating legacy-systray
for kde-plasma/plasma-meta, which is pulling in kde-plasma/xembed-sni-proxy.
/etc/portage/package.use/kde-plasma-settings
Change USE flags for kde-plasma/plasma-meta# xembed system tray support for legacy applications kde-plasma/plasma-meta legacy-systray
Pidgin
net-im/pidgin requires x11-plugins/pidgin-indicator. After install, the Ubuntu Indicator plugin can be found under Tools | Plugins.
KWallet
Many users will be introduced to kde-frameworks/kwallet, Plasma's encrypted password storage, while adding a (wireless) network connection after login or adding E-Mail accounts in kde-apps/kmail.
For managing KWallets, importing and exporting passwords, there is kde-apps/kwalletmanager:
root #
emerge --ask kde-apps/kwalletmanager
Desbloqueo autónomo de KWallet
kde-plasma/kwallet-pam provides a mechanism to avoid being subsequently asked for access to kwallet after login.
root #
emerge --ask kde-plasma/kwallet-pam
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 x11-misc/sddm and x11-misc/lightdm fulfill that requirement:
/etc/pam.d/sddm
Config lines for KWallet PAM unlocking via SDDM-auth optional pam_kwallet5.so -session optional pam_kwallet5.so auto_start
For LightDM, /etc/pam.d/lightdm needs to be edited instead.
If the filesystem containing your user's KWallet files is mounted by pam_mount upon logging on, you may need to copy ~/.local/share/kwalletd/kdewallet.salt to the same path on your root filesystem. Otherwise, PAM attempts to unlock KWallet before the home directory is available and fails. The file ~/.local/share/kwalletd/kdewallet.kwl which actually contains the encrypted KWallet passwords does not need to be copied.
Deshabilitar KWallet
To disable the KWallet subsystem completely, edit the following file:
~/.config/kwalletrc
[Wallet] Enabled=false
SSH/GPG Agent startup/shutdown scripts
ssh-agent scripts are located in /etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/env and /etc/xdg/plasma-workspace/shutdown. Shutdown scripts require executable bit set because they are not sourced. The Keychain article provides more information about this.
Non-root user authentication for dialogs
Some KDE dialogs such as printers, adding wireless networks and adding users require administrator authentication. This is handled through sys-auth/polkit and operates independently from app-admin/sudo. By default in Gentoo, the root account is the only administrator, and so even if a user account can run root commands through sudo, authentication in these KDE dialogs will fail.
Adding wireless networks using net-misc/networkmanager is allowed by a polkit rule which is part of the Gentoo package and already allows access for every user in the group plugdev. For other dialogs you need to configure the behavior manually: If you would like all users of the group wheel to be administrators, create a copy of /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-default.rules starting with a number lower than 50, and edit the line return ["unix-user:0"] to the following:
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/49-wheel.rules
Administrator wheel grouppolkit.addAdminRule(function(action, subject) { return ["unix-group:wheel"]; });
The Polkit wiki page provides more details on rules configuration.
Correr aplicaciones GUI con privilegios root
It could be a very bad idea to start GUI applications with root privileges, versus adding the regular user to the relevant group or simply just running the command unprivileged. Only use kdesu when absolutely necessary.
KDE Plasma has a utility in order to start graphical programs with root privileges. It is provided by kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools - if built with USE flag kdesu
, a graphical frontend to kde-frameworks/kdesu is installed. This requires Xorg, and only works within X[3].
/etc/portage/package.use/kde-plasma-settings
Change USE flags for kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools# Build graphical frontend for kde-frameworks/kdesu (requires X) kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools kdesu X
Remember to rebuild the package to pick up the changes:
root #
emerge -1 kde-cli-tools
It can be used by invoking kdesu either from KRunner or a terminal emulator:
user $
kdesu <nombre-del-programa>
A message dialog will be displayed prompting for the root password.
Some applications such as kwrite, dolphin etc. refuse to be opened with kdesu for security reasons.
By default, kdesu internally uses su, which may not be preferred for some use cases. It is possible to use sudo or other sudo-compatible commands, by changing kdesurc:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kdesurc
Use sudo instead of su in kdesu[super-user-command] super-user-command=sudo
Files
KDE uses XDG standard directories to it's configuration for Plasma and it's applications:
- $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (defaults to $HOME/.config) - Configuration files of Plasma and KDE apps.
- $XDG_DATA_HOME (defaults to $HOME/.local/share) - App data of Plasma and KDE apps.
Removal
Uninstall all packages
A possible way to completely remove Plasma by explicitly the kde-plasma/plasma-meta package and all software depending on it:
root #
emerge --ask --depclean --verbose kde-plasma/plasma-meta
This will not just remove Plasma but also all other packages depending on it (unconditionally or through a USE flag dependency), such as e.g. plasma-pass[kde].
Clean up Portage definitions
Look in /etc/portage for any KDE/Plasma specific settings in package.mask, package.unmask, package.keywords and package.accept_keywords and clean up any definitions referring to Plasma packages.
Remove unneeded dependencies
After uninstalling any Plasma packages, make sure to ask Portage to uninstall any leftover dependencies:
root #
emerge --ask --depclean

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: app-antivirus/clamav
- Spam filtering: mail-filter/bogofilter or mail-filter/spamassassin
Frameworks
KDE Frameworks 5 es una colección de bibliotecas y de frameworks que proporcionan la base para KDE Plasma 5 y las aplicaciones de KDE 5, pero pueden ser utilizadas 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—.
