Plasma starts with black screen Cliff McDiarmid wrote:

Hi

I have just installe0d Plasma 5.5.4 on LFS. I created a new user to
boot from so new dirs were created. I am getting the splash screen
and 'loading bar' after which it stops at a black screen with mouse
pointer.

The .x.session-errors file is attached. Aside from a Kmix crash
which appears(on screen as well) and a QML file that fails to load,
there are other errors, but I need a pointer as to what is wrong. Any
ideas here?

Did you create the symlinks?

cd $KF5_PREFIX/share/plasma/plasmoids

for j in $(find -name \*.js); do as_root ln -sfv ../code/$(basename
$j) $(dirname $j)/../ui/ done

Also, I try plasma-5.6.0 at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/kde/plasma-all.html

Thanks for that

No, hadn't created them, but it hasn't made any difference.   Will
probably go for later Plasma.

One question.  Does Frameworks have to be latest, along with Plasma?  I
assume it would be best?

I build using /opt/kf5 -> kf5-5.19.0. It's relatively easy to build all of lf5/plasma bu removing /opt/kde and, if needed, renaming /opt/kf5-5.19.0. Of course if the kf5 version is different, then the renaming is not needed.

When you build, be sure to redirect the output to a log so you can inspect it. In my build script I use:

    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF5_PREFIX \
          -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release         \
          -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=lib              \
          -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF                \
          $OPTS                              \
          -Wno-dev .. 2>&1 | tee -a $LOG

    make -j8          2>&1 | tee -a $LOG
    sudo -E make install 2>&1 | tee -a $LOG

Of course $KF5_PREFIX and $LOG have to be defined.
