kf5 doesn't work

English Applications
#1

Hi there and thx if you read and possibly answer my question.

I wasn’t very happy to know that kde5 was packaged on opensuse 13.1 so that it supersedes the current kde4 installation.

So I compiled it with kdesrc-build and installed in /opt/kde5. But when I try to run **/opt/kde5/bin/startkde **from a mere shell or via a Xnest session, kded5 or kcmshell5 still use the kde4 path for their shared objects(/usr) instead of /opt/kde5.

Of course I set correct paths, export PATH=/opt/kde5/bin:$PATH , added a path file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d, changed KDEHOME, KDEDIR and KDEDIRS, used LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Nada de nada :frowning:

Any idea ?

AFAIK it’s the same on every other distribution as well that provides KF5 packages.
The libraries should be co-installable, but the applications (including plasma-desktop) are not.

So I compiled it with kdesrc-build and installed in /opt/kde5. But when I try to run **/opt/kde5/bin/startkde **from a mere shell or via a Xnest session, kded5 or kcmshell5 still use the kde4 path for their shared objects(/usr) instead of /opt/kde5.

Of course I set correct paths, export PATH=/opt/kde5/bin:$PATH , added a path file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d, changed KDEHOME, KDEDIR and KDEDIRS, used LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Nada de nada :frowning:

Any idea ?

Have a look at openSUSE’s kf5 script that was used when the KF5/Plasma next packages were still co-installable with KDE4 because they used /opt/kf5 as prefix:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/KDE:Unstable:Frameworks/kf5-session/kf5-64.sh?expand=1

export KF5=/opt/kf5
export QTDIR=/usr/lib64/qt5
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$KF5/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$KF5/etc/xdg:$KF5/share/kde5/config:$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
export PATH=$KF5/bin:$QTDIR/bin:$KF5:$PATH
export LIBEXEC_PATH=/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5:/usr/lib64/libexec:$KF5/lib64/libexec/kf5:$KF5/lib64/libexec
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KF5/lib64
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$KF5/lib64/qt5/plugins:$KF5/lib64/qt5/plugins/kf5:$QTDIR/plugins
export QML2_IMPORT_PATH=$KF5/lib64/qt5/qml:$QTDIR/qml
#export XDG_DATA_HOME=$HOME/.kf5
#export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$HOME/.kf5
#export XDG_CACHE_HOME=$HOME/.kf5
export KDE_COLOR_DEBUG=1
export QTEST_COLORED=1

Do the same (with the correct paths of course) and it should work.

Thank you for the help, but it doesn’t work. plasmashell crashes. I’ve both tried the script form Xnest and from a specific kdm session.

Here is the log file. It has been shorten so that I can send it out
:Notice first that the line *libGL error: dlopen /usr/lib64/dri/updates/r600_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/updates/r600_dri.so: Ne peut ouvrir le fichier d’objet partagé: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type) *has nothing to do with my problem. It works with kde4
Also notice that startkde complains about e.g.

Error:  file:///opt/kde5/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/contents/loader.qml:23:1: module"org.kde.plasma.platformcomponents" is not installed import org.kde.plasma.platformcomponents 2.0 as Platform

However, this file is really present and readable.

I know. That’s just debug output. /usr/lib64/dri/updates/ is searched before /usr/lib64/dri/, but that’s normally empty. It can be used to override the system’s drivers with updated versions.

You installed KF5 to /opt/kde5, but plasmashell is in /usr/local/opt/kde5/bin/.
Apparently something went wrong there (wrong options?), or you have some stuff left in /usr/local from an earlier try or something like that.

I did as suggested, but plasmashell crashes again. ¿¿¿ Qué pasó ??? :\

p.s. /opt is a link to /usr/local/opt on my computer. No enough place on /

Well, it seems to abort in libQt5Core.

Apparently you use Qt5 5.3.0, that’s quite old already.
Try to update to the latest 5.3.1. Packages are available in the KDE:QT5 repo.
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt5/openSUSE_13.1/

You could also try to run “plasmashell” inside your KDE4 session. Does it work then?
I still have plasma-desktop5 from June 8th installed (in /opt/kf5), and running plasmashell works fine here (after setting up the environment variables as posted earlier).
If I run it inside KDE4, it sits on top of KDE4’s plasma-desktop and hides it…
Maybe you get some interesting message in the terminal then?

Which file?

I have this in /usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/platformcomponents:

wolfi@linux-lf90:~> ls /usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/platformcomponents
libplatformcomponentsplugin.so  qmldir
wolfi@linux-lf90:~>

And that directory (/usr/lib64/qt5/qml/ in my case, it might deviate for you) must be part of the QML2_IMPORT_PATH, as posted earlier:

export QML2_IMPORT_PATH=$KF5/lib64/qt5/qml:$QTDIR/qml

What I want to say is: add that directory that contains org/kde/plasma/platformcomponents to the QML2_IMPORT_PATH variable.

#8

Ok, upgrade to 5.3.1 done, but no progress. Same crash in ShellManager::updateShell(), apparently.
As to QML2_IMPORT_PATH, it’s ok. I did as you suggest in my script, but same thing.

Patience is the virtue of the strong :wink:

#9

Ok, I tried to rename /usr/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/platformcomponents/ now here, and I get exactly the same crash as you.

So the crash definitely seems to be related to it not being able to import “org.kde.plasma.platformcomponents”.

I´d say you should check again whether you have a directory org/kde/plasma/platformcomponents/ in a path specified with $QML2_IMPORT_PATH, and that contains a libplatformcomponentsplugin.so.

I have no experience with kdesrc-build, but did you use that for installing the Frameworks as well?
You need the Plasma framework installed.
It should be possible to install the Frameworks via the openSUSE packages (repo KDE:Frameworks5 or KDE:Unstable:Frameworks), that specific component is in the package plasma-framework, and then only compile the actual programs like plasmashell.
But I guess you should also install libqt5 from the packages then.

#10

PS: that directory (org/kde/plasma/platformcomponents/) must also contain a file called “qmldir” with the following content:

module org.kde.plasma.platformcomponents
plugin platformcomponentsplugin

So create that manually if it doesn’t exist, I’d say.

#11

ok, added export QML2_IMPORT_PATH=$KF5/lib64/qt5/qml:$QTDIR/qml:$KF5/lib64/qml/org/kde/plasma/platformcomponents, contains the qmldir file with the wanted declarations, but no way. Same crash as before

#12

The first one looks ok, the last one is incorrect and unnecessary, you should remove that again.

Is $KF5 set to the correct directory (/opt/kde5/ in your case), and does /opt/kde5/lib64/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/platformcomponents/ exist and contain those two files?
You do set those variables in the shell where you try to run plasmashell, right?

If the necessary files are there, org.kde.plasma.platformcomponents should be able to be imported.

#13

ok, meanwhile I recompiled everything with qt 5.3.1. Unfortunately it doesn’t work either, but I got a different behavior:
plasmashell doesn’t crash anymore but is stuck somewhere in an endless loop.

see http://pastebin.com/8p2JhGQC

#14

Hm, I don’t see anything obvious in there, except maybe kwin itself or the desktop effects.

Have you tried with a fresh account, maybe some configuration file is causing this?

I would suggest to try to run certain components in a different session (KDE4 f.e. but not necessarily) as already suggested (you have to set those environment variables of course), that might point to the problem.
F.e. “plasmashell” or “kwin_x11 --replace”.

Maybe kactivities5 is at fault, try to rename the executable for a test, it should be called kactivitymanagerd5.

As I also indicated already, it might prove worthwhile to install the frameworks from the openSUSE packages and only compile the things that are not co-installable yourself, like plasma-desktop5 and kde-baseapps5.
“cmake” should tell you which frameworks you need to install.

Other than that I can only suggest to ask in the KDE forums as well, if you compile everything yourself this is not really distribution-specific any more.
You might reach the developers there, if there’s a problem in the build process they might even want to fix it… :wink:

#15

Tried a fresh account, but same behavior.
Thank you anyway for your precious help. Will contact kde folks, but I’m pretty sure that I’m not the only guy with this issue.

Ah, btw, can be a related problem, but digikam for kde4 crashes whereas it never did that before. I suspect it’s due to an external library

Well, especially in this case it would be good that the KDE developers themselves would be informed about the issue… :wink:

Ah, btw, can be a related problem, but digikam for kde4 crashes whereas it never did that before. I suspect it’s due to an external library

Better open a new thread about this.

But digikam works fine here, I have the version from [noparse]KDE:Extra[/noparse].
Which one do you have installed?

Maybe your problem is caused by some wrong environment variables now?
But even if I set them the way I posted, digikam still works fine when started from the same shell.

#17

FYI, I created Plasma5 packages now that are co-installable with KDE4, without having to uninstall kdebase4-workspace.

See here for more information: http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/499607-KDE5?p=2654365#post2654365

They work fine here, trying those could show whether the problem lies in your build, or Plasma5 has general problems on your system.
