I'm resurrecting this thread because this is the 4th time of
building Plasma(nothing unusual), but this time it is into a brand
new 7.9 systemd box. The new LFS is running fine using the nouveau
driver and boots into Xorg. But once again, after installing all
dependencies for Frameworks and Plasma 5.6.2, it will not boot. I
can't tell you the frustration involved here. An error log is
attached.
I'm not using any login manager. This error log is from the the
command line after 'startx' and I'm getting a message saying
"All shell packages missing. This is an installation issue, please
contact your distribution"
If I boot into twm I can run konsole from an xterm window which
seems okay. If I then run plasmashell from xterm I get similar
errors refering to "All shell packages missing".
How is this whole thing possible? KDE4 seemed so easy. Any ideas
here, I've trawled the internet with no real success.
thanks
Cliff Got something very similar to you the other day when I built
plasma 5.6.4. After a little bit of digging found out it was a gcc
6.x issue in qtdeclarative (part of qt-5.6). Fixed using
-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -fno-lifetime-dse in C(XX)FLAGS see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1331593 which is very
similar to what you describe
Just updated Qt 5.6.0 to 5.6.1 without the additional flags
suggested. Still same result with Plasma , i.e. black screen with
mouse pointer and "All shell packages missing" message and nothing
more.
Do I now recompile 5.6.1 with the flags Martin suggested or update
Plasma yet again to 5.6.5! You takes your pick it seems.
Cliff
Try just downloading the individual package qtdeclarative-5.6.1 and
compiling that from here
I've taken the rebuild route once again using latest frameworks/plasma
into the new LFS.
So far when I get to installing kinit-5.23.0 I get:
Failed to set capabilities on file
`/opt/kf5/lib/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit' (Operation not supported)
Do you have /sbin/setcap? Is it in root's path when you install? I admit
that I have /sbin and /usr/sbin in my normal user path so I don't know if
this is an issue or not.
Yes have that under /usr/sbin and it's in roots path. I sourced /etc/profile as
well but I still get the 'error'.
What I have is:
$ getcap /opt/kf5/lib/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit
/opt/kf5/lib/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit = cap_sys_resource+ep
I'd makes sure that setcap is in root's path and reinstall.
Is this a concern in respect of the infamous black screen I've had?
I can't really say.
Right. I'm back where I started. You may know I compiled 5.23.0/5.6.5 into a
brand new LFS system.
I still get the same black screen and movable cursor and a warning about "All shell
packages missing". The short error file is attached, but it seems to contain the
same 'errors' as before.
What I have got is a fully functional Xorg where I can run konsole in xterm.
If I then start plasmashell from xterm I get:
org.kde.kwindowsystem: Could not find any platform plugin
org.kde.kwindowsystem: Could not find any platform plugin
Service started, version: 7.0.0
Failed to load the OSD QML file file from ""
detected kglobalaccel restarting, re-registering all shortcut keys
We have no shell handlers installed.
I resisted Martins suggestion concerning qtdeclarative-opensource-src-5.7.0
until the end. When installed with the editing of the QMAKE_CXXFLAGS, it made
no difference.
I have a non functioning Plasma yet again
What is your kf5 environment? I set up the environment with:
$ cat /etc/profile.d/kf5.sh
# Begin /etc/profile.d/kf5.sh
export KF5_PREFIX=/opt/kf5
pathappend $KF5_PREFIX/bin PATH
pathappend $KF5_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_PATH

pathappend $KF5_PREFIX/share XDG_DATA_DIRS
pathappend $KF5_PREFIX/lib/plugins QT_PLUGIN_PATH
pathappend $KF5_PREFIX/lib/qml QML2_IMPORT_PATH
pathappend $KF5_PREFIX/lib/python2.7/site-packages PYTHONPATH
