@kihanos,
How did you solve the last dependency of 'plasma-settings'? Is it a optional dependency?
For the step 2 and step 3 in your post, are they required for a fresh arch environment (Which haven't install plasma before)?
And would you like to become co-maintainer of this package since you have done a lot for the packaging when I was absent.
@ArchieMeng
So, I finally got it to run as expected without Mycroft nor CEC support. Things are more complicated than I thought.
1- Dependencies:
'kactivities'
'kactivities-stats'
'ki18n'
'kdeconnect'
'plasma-workspace'
'kdeclarative'
'plasma-framework'
'kirigami2'
'kcmutils'
'knotifications'
'kwindowsystem'
'kwayland'
'kwayland-integration'
'xorg-server-xwayland'
'plasma-wayland-session'
'plasma-nano'
'plasma-settings'
Note: the last dependency is Plasma-Mobile's KCM. Not yet on AUR, available at https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/plasma-settings. The build procedure is straightforward. I did not untangle the dependencies of plasma-settings, but the ones of plasma-bigscreen are enough.
2- Created a dedicated user USER. Copied the content of https://invent.kde.org/plasma-bigscreen/bigscreen-debos-image-rpi4/-/tree/master/overlays/bigscreen/etc/xdg into $USER's ~/.config
3- Made 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
@kihanos The plasma-meta is just a meta package which install all the plasma environment. I didn't know which plasma dependencies the plasma-bigscreen needs at first, so I just used it to build the package in advance. I will change it to the specific ones once they are clear.
For mycroft-core, I don't have the proper environment to test (GFW blocked the repo and mycroft is not taking my proxy settings). But I remember when I was first packaging this package, the mycroft-core seemed to be working. Could you recheck that? If true, then mycroft-gui is the actual one needed.
Another comment: the optional dependency mycroft-core does not seems to be enough. Installing mycroft-gui seems to be needed (as least for cmake to quit complaining)
Hi!
First, sddm now launches plasma bigscreen without any problem.
Second, is there a reason for the dependence to plasma-meta? This seems way more than what is listed in the git README:
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-bigscreen
I get a black screen whether I start from sddm or run /usr/bin/plasma-bigscreen-wayland. What Lean0402 suggested does indeed work for me though.
When logging in from sddm, the screen is just black with my mouse cursor being visible.
From a wayland session I can use "plasmashell --replace -p org.kde.plasma.mycroft.bigscreen" though to make it work.
