@Colgrave I updated the dependencies, to match those of the stock package https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/plasma-bigscreen/

I tried to install plasma-bigscreen-git today and found that plasma-pa and plasma-nm are required to run plasma-bigscreen-git. Should we consider adding these to the list of dependencies?

@kovdan01 It's done. Thanks for the catch and the patch!

Hello @kihanos! There is a small issue in current PKGBUILD. It assumes that we use "Unix Makefiles" as default CMake generator - for building and installing we just use make. This works by default, but a user might specify a custom CMAKE_GENERATOR environment variable (e.g. Ninja), and in such case the build becomes broken (ninja of course does not create a Makefile so we can't use make). Instead, I suggest you using cmake build and install commands. Here is the patch (tested it - works correctly):

--- a/PKGBUILD
+++ b/PKGBUILD

        cmake -B build \

 }

@raist356 Thanks for the catch. It is done.

Build fails with "Unknown CMake command "ecm_find_qmlmodule"". Use of "ecm_find_qmlmodule" was merged 6 days ago.

Please change the dependency of extra-cmake-modules to the git version. After installing the git version, the build was successful.

@mantielero Do you know which dependency was actually missing then? plasma-meta is a bit of an overkill here.

I update the whole system and follow more closely the instructions. Now the mouse/keyboard are working. I get the Plasma BigScreen splash when I start sddm. I get a beautiful background (like a 3d blue surface with a couple of yellow triangles), but nothing else is showing.

I wonder if maybe I am not copying the xdg content to the proper place. I copied the files directly in ~/.config/. Should I do it in a subfolder?

EDIT: Fixed by installing plasma-meta.

[EDIT: Although they work, the instructions below are out of date. See https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-bigscreen/-/commit/3841db90f1899d8a90e0a36dc1ba05cdefaea900 for a commit upstream adding a starter script for X11 sessions]

@everyone. To get plasma-bigscreen to run, the following steps need to be taken:

1- Install the package and its deps.

2- Create a dedicated user USER. Copy the content of https://invent.kde.org/plasma-bigscreen/bigscreen-debos-image-rpi4/-/tree/master/overlays/bigscreen/etc/xdg into $USER's ~/.config

3- Make this the $USER's .bash_profile

#
# ~/.bash_profile
#

export PLASMA_PLATFORM=mediacenter
export QT_FILE_SELECTORS=mediacenter

[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc

4- You can now launch by loging in with $USER from sddm by running Plasma-X11 or Plasma-Wayland but not Plasma-Bigscreen-Wayland

I have just learnt about plasma-bigscreen existance. I am trying to install it under RPi4. First I needed to install as hard dependencies:

modemmanager-qt
networkmanager-qt

If I run plasma-bigscreen-wayland I get a black screen with the mouse and the keyboard working.

If I run sudo systemctl start sddm I get a login window where the mouse and the keyboard are not working. I use autologin. This occurs with session=plasma with session=plasma-bigscreen-wayland I get the black screen and the mouse works.

I copied /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf without success.

Any clue about what could I try.
