[EPEL-devel] KDE now available on EPEL 8 ... playground

[Troy Dawson]

# KDE now available on EPEL 8 playground

Many thanks to all those who have helped make this happen.

## Why playground only

KDE on EPEL 8 really needs to be in modules.[1]  So we don't have to
pull all the KDE packages out of normal EPEL8, we have chosen to only
have them in EPEL8 playground, until modules are available in EPEL8.

## How to install

### First: install epel-release
rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm

### Second: Enable epel-release-playground
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-playground.repo
( set enabled=1 for epel-playground )

### Third: Enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8 [2]
subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms

### Fourth: install KDE
dnf group install "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
(Optional) dnf group install kde-desktop
(Optional) dnf group install kde-apps
(Optional) dnf group install kde-media --skip-broken
(Optional) dnf group install kde-education
(Optional) dnf group install kde-software-development
(Optional) dnf group install kf5-software-development

### Fifth: Set sddm / KDE as desktop manager and desktop [3]
dnf install switchdesk system-switch-displaymanager
switchdesk kde
system-switch-displaymanager sddm
systemctl set-default graphical.target

## Non-Essential, but major Packages that didn't build
calligra (An integrated office suite)
-- too many dependencies to build at this time.
telepathy (and everything depending on it)
-- python2 based and required python2-dbus, which isn't in RHEL8

## Footnotes
[1] - Modules needed due to packages not in CRB, QT5 5.11, and a few
other smaller reasons.
[2] - There are several KDE critical packages in codeready-builder
[3] - Currently gdm does not like to start plasma, use sddm instead

I've added the module and dependencies to my perl yum repo here:
https://harbottle.gitlab.io/epmel/7/x86_64

Give it a try.

Who knows.

indicates there was a "DAG packages for Red Hat Linux" repository.

If you want to add it into EPEL, you can try asking Fedora maintainer
.
