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

raist356 commented on 2021-11-20 21:05 (UTC)

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

@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.

snack commented on 2021-10-25 06:25 (UTC)

@kihanos: would you mind to modify the PKGBUILD so that the build configuration with cmake is done in build() rather than in prepare()? Because of this:

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72532

I cannot cross-compile plasma-bigscreen-git on my RPI4 with distcc. Thanks.

@ArchieMeng

  1. I had created a dirty PKGBUILD for that purpose. It's a runtime dependency for the configuration modules to work (KDEConnect, Wifi, Sound, Wallpaper). I just pushed onto AUR a cleaner version of the PKGBUILD: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plasma-settings-git/

  2. I guess 2. and 3. could be avoided for Wayland sessions only provided we worked a little bit

    • Most files involved in step 2 are for UI configuration (setting an appropriate DPI, blacklisting most useless apps so that the board is not too crowded and so on). I guess they might not be strictly necessary. I don't know how to streamline Step 2 efficiently. If step 2 is not done, then step 3 should also add export PLASMA_DEFAULT_SHELL=org.kde.plasma.mycroft.bigscreen to the .bashrc.
    • Step 3 could be avoided if we patched ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/plasma-bigscreen-wayland and changed the last line startplasma-wayland --xwayland --libinput --exit-with-session=/usr/lib/libexec/startplasma-waylandsession to startplasma-wayland. The options seem to trigger the black screen, I don't know why. If we do that, then sddm should just launch Plasma-Bigscreen-Wayland. Edit: This only allows to run a Wayland session.
    • Edit: To run a X11 session: Step 3 is necessary. Step 2 partially so: you require at least to have the file ~/.config/plasmashellrc found here

3- Sure, why not :-)
