Thank you!

Installing via

pacman -S plasma-next

Produces this error

error: failed retrieving file 'ksshaskpass-5.1.95-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from kde-beta.wirephire.com : The requested URL returned error: 404
warning: failed to retrieve some files

It seems that the depends line in a package is wrong since there is ksshaskpass-frameworks package.

Update archlinux-keyring first

nierro · 2015-01-14 12:22:02

@arojas: can you share plasma-workspace PKGBUILD? Thanks!
And...thanks for maintaining the repo!

EDIT: nevermind, i don't need the PKGBUILD

Hm. Forgive me for being a newb.

After I run:

pacman-key --refresh-keys

I still get the same error. Are TUs not official enough to be in the default key servers? Where do I get my hands on your public key?

Check that the archlinux-keyring package version 20141218-1 is installed on your system. If not, pacman -S archlinux-keyring

$ pacman -Qs archlinux-keyring

    Arch Linux PGP keyring

I reinstalled it just for giggles and it still didn't work.

Okay, I think the problem is with the package on aroja's server.

I just changed the server from choice 2 to choice 1 and it installed fine.

stavallo · 2015-01-14 14:35:18

Just to report my experience. I have installed KF 5.6 and KDE 4.14.3 (no KDE Applications 14.12) from [extra]

- "pacman -S plasma-next" does not update the following packages:

baloo-frameworks
breeze
breeze-kde4
kde-cli-tools
kfilemetadata5
khotkeys
kio-extras
kwayland
libkscreen-frameworks
libksysguard
libmm-qt5
oxygen-kde4
polkit-kde-frameworks
ttf-oxygen
khelpcenter

This causes the update to fail, because (if I remember well) plasma-desktop 5.1.95 conflicts with baloo-frameworks 5.1.2 (some files have been moved between these packages since 5.1). I assume the above packages should be added to the plasma-next group.

- plasma-workspace-wallpapers 5.1.95 has not been built

- khelpcenter 5.1.95 conflicts with kdebase-runtime 4.14.3

I manually installed all the packages (except khelpcenter) and everything works fine.

A huge thanks to arojas!

@arojas - First of all - many thanks!

I've found a few bugs in those applications, but I don't know that they are upstream bugs (then I should report them on bugs.kde.org) or Arch's/PKGBUILD's only related. Or maybe all of them occurs only on my computer.

There of them relate to user-manager package:
1. user-manager doesn't execute from KMenu
The reason for this is bad content of "Exec" field in /usr/share/kservices5/user_manager.desktop. There is:

Exec=kcmshell4 user_manager

but should be:

Exec=kcmshell5 user_manager

After change it works well (I mean it can execute from KMenu or from command line via kcmshell5.
2. user-manager is not recognized by systemsettings as a module of kcm (I don't know the cause, yet)
3. user-manager cannot recognized users have been established on computer before (all fields of it are empty).

SDDM-kcm cannot change the default wallpaper of any theme (it's well know bug to me, because I've known it since SDDM is built only on Qt5)

There is something corrupted with oxygen package, because there isn't oxygen window decoration at all (we have only 2 window decoration now: breeze and plastik)

Switching betwee breeze and plastik causes disappearance of titlebar.

For now on, everything else works fine.

You're right, the package was missing from the repo. Fixed now, thanks.

Intentional, there are no changes at all wrt 5.1.2

stavallo wrote:

As 5.1.2 did, no changes here.

All upstream, the first 2 are already fixed in git.

There is no oxygen decoration in 5.2, see https://community.kde.org/Plasma/5.2_Errata

@arojas - Thanks for the response.

OK, since some people is only interested in Plasma, not in Applications, I have removed the beta of Applications 14.12 from Server 2. So use Server 1 if you want Applications beta, and Server 2 if you only want Plasma.

I can't add Icontask widget to default bottom panel no matter what, if I drop it on desktop however, it creates new panel with widget in it, but I can't drag it to default panel.
Things crash more often on login than in 5.1.2, at least two crashes per login of kdeinit5, krunner, kwin, with 50% chance of successful login (=

And it looks like we will never get fixed breaking vsync on nvidia, why do we still have to use workarounds like __GL_YIELD?

arojas · 2015-01-21 08:24:10

packagekit and friends are back in community, so I've added muon to the repo

flying sheep · 2015-01-21 13:00:37

did anyone get the dropbox tray icon to work?

i installed dropbox-experimental from the AUR (which, as it’s Qt 5, should use app indicators AFAIK), but i don’t see the tray icon

Status notifier support was added in Qt 5.4. Dropbox uses its own bundled version of Qt, and it's probably older than that.

This, along with Dropbox being shaky with tray icons anyways doesn't particularly give me much hope that you're going to get the icon in anything but the Cinnamon desktop (unless you make some modifications to the package).

Lord_Sunday123 · 2015-01-23 05:25:55

Forgive my noobiness, but how do I use these links? Do I just dump them in pacman.d?

Edit: Nevermind, fixed myself. Please ignore my dumbness. If anyone else has the same problem, just create a repo called [kde-beta] in /etc/pacman.conf, then run 'sudo pacman -Syyu'
