Hello openSUSE KDE users and contributors,
This mail outlines our plans for moving towards Plasma 5 as a default desktop for the next openSUSE release, includinga tentative action plan and where help from you all is required. We do not believe on pushing changes on users without some sort of preparation, therefore this document describes the transition plan.
See the previous mails for a rationale of this decision.
==== The plan ====
Phase 1: Gather input from the community
In this phase, we would like people from the community, if they are able to, to test the currently-available code. It's quite easy, as all the required software is already available directly in Tumbleweed. You should install Plasma 5 from there (bear in mind that its install will not coexist with the 4.x workspace) and simply try using it.
Is it possible to return to the 4.x workspace? How can kde4 apps work w/o the 4.x workspace?
The following 8 packages are going to be REMOVED: kdebase4-openSUSE 13.2-6.63 kdebase4-session 4.12-5.1 kdebase4-workspace 4.11.16-1.1 kdebase4-workspace-branding-openSUSE 13.2-6.63 patterns-openSUSE-kde 20150105-3.1 patterns-openSUSE-kde4_basis 20150105-3.1 patterns-openSUSE-kde4_imaging 20150105-3.1 plasmoid-cwp 1.12.0-16.2
Interested Tw user.
zypper -v in --recommends plasma5-workspace That screwed it up, no systemtray, no desktop. And <rt><clicking> on the wallpaper does nothing. Removed plasma5 pkgs and returned, had to reconstruct desktop(s). -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
