Status
The basic shell has been ported to postmarketOS, and can now be tested in Qemu. bshah just got it working on a hammerhead:
I just installed it, then edited [the /etc/profile.d/start_weston.sh] script for two bits: export KWIN_COMPOSE=Q and made --drm a --framebuffer
Installation
Run pmbootstrap init
and choose plasma-mobile
in the interface section. The binary repo provided by the project already contains KDE builds for x86_64, armhf and aarch64 (compiling takes a long time). Nothing has to be done to enable it.
After installation, the shell will automatically launch upon boot. If it doesn't, have a look at /etc/profile.d/start_plasma.sh
and /usr/bin/plasma-phone
.
For the official KDE instructions on running Plasma Mobile, see their website.
Troubleshooting
Log output
You can read the log output with logread -f
. Anything related to Plasma and KDE will have a username:plasma-mobile
prefix.
