[EDIT: Although they work, the instructions below are out of date. See https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-bigscreen/-/commit/3841db90f1899d8a90e0a36dc1ba05cdefaea900 for a commit upstream adding a starter script for X11 sessions]

@everyone. To get plasma-bigscreen to run, the following steps need to be taken:

1- Install the package and its deps.

2- Create a dedicated user USER. Copy the content of https://invent.kde.org/plasma-bigscreen/bigscreen-debos-image-rpi4/-/tree/master/overlays/bigscreen/etc/xdg into $USER's ~/.config

3- Make this the $USER's .bash_profile

#
# ~/.bash_profile
#

export PLASMA_PLATFORM=mediacenter
export QT_FILE_SELECTORS=mediacenter

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc

4- You can now launch by loging in with $USER from sddm by running Plasma-X11 or Plasma-Wayland but not Plasma-Bigscreen-Wayland

I have just learnt about plasma-bigscreen existance. I am trying to install it under RPi4. First I needed to install as hard dependencies:

modemmanager-qt
networkmanager-qt

If I run plasma-bigscreen-wayland I get a black screen with the mouse and the keyboard working.

If I run sudo systemctl start sddm I get a login window where the mouse and the keyboard are not working. I use autologin. This occurs with session=plasma with session=plasma-bigscreen-wayland I get the black screen and the mouse works.

I copied /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf without success.

Any clue about what could I try.

@raist356 I just pinned an old comment where I explain how I got it to run (with help from the devs)

Did anyone manage to get the Bigscreen launcher running? I am dropped into an empty desktop and can run things only with Krunner.

@kihanos Yeah that's right, but it won't be installed automatically, instead the installation fails with:

Could not find plasma-settings in the AUR

I mean I can install plasma-settings-git before manually, but it seems a little bit wrong to me. If people don't want the "default" AUR plasma-settings, then they probably should modify the script or so? But I'm not an aur expert :-) I just thought packages should usually work by default without any modifcations or extra steps

kihanos commented on 2021-10-26 17:01 (UTC)

@Leon0402 Well, plasma-settings-git provides plasma-settings, but people may want to install another version.

Leon0402 commented on 2021-10-26 07:23 (UTC)

The package plasma-settings is not found in the AUR says my package manager. Should it be plasma-settings-git?

I also updated the dependency list according the the post below.

@kihanos yes, now the usage of distcc seems to be properly configured. Thank you very much for your super-quick support!

ArchieMeng commented on 2021-10-25 06:41 (UTC)

@snack Could you test if the new version of PKGBUILD works? I just pushed it to the AUR.
