3. I've installed openSUSE 13.1 KDE on VirtualBox, then installed plasma5- session and all the dependencies it wanted, uninstalling kde4 completely. Changed displaymanager to sddm. After rebooting I see plain white screen instead of DM. Autologin was enable, it did not worked, so that's not only graphics issue. That's probably because the default theme could not be loaded. The default is breeze, included in the package plasma5-workspace. You can change the theme in /etc/sddm.conf, set it to "elarun" e.g. and sddm should work without plasma5-workspace.
Probably some dependency should be added to the sddm package regarding this, or the default changed.
On the internet everyone says that it is possible to have KDE4 and use some kf5-based apps, but I was not able to find a way to do it, so unless there is some magic way to do it which I missed - will have to stay with KDE4.
I maintain a repo on OBS which contains plasma5 packages and the kf5-based apps from KDE:Unstable:Frameworks that do _not_ conflict with KDE4. See here for more details: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2014-09/msg00068.html In short, add my repo in addition to KDE:Qt5 and KDE:Frameworks5, and select "Switch system packages to the versions in this repository" in YaST or run "zypper dup --from xxx". The apps are installed to /opt/kf5 so can be installed side-by-side with their KDE4 counterparts. Because of that, you cannot normally run them inside KDE4, but if you install my plasma5-session as well, type this in a Konsole and you can run the KF5 versions afterwards: . /opt/kf5/share/env/kf5.sh But as I understand it, the "official" packages should work fine in KDE4, but of course you have to uninstall the corresponding KDE4 versions.
