Hello, The KDE Plasma Desktop is now available for standard EPEL8. ## How to install ### First: install epel-release rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm ### Second: Enable codeready-builder or PowerTools subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms #### If CentOS 8 do dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools ### Third: install KDE dnf group install "KDE Plasma Workspaces" (Optional) dnf group install kde-desktop (Optional) dnf group install kde-media (Optional) dnf --enablerepo=epel-testing group install kde-apps [1] (Optional) dnf --enablerepo=epel-testing group install okular [1] ### (Optional) Fourth: Set sddm as desktop manager systemctl set-default graphical.target [if in multi-user.target] dnf install sddm\* systemctl enable sddm -f reboot Note1: There are some packages missing due to RHEL8 not releasing some key -devel packages. Most notable are plasma-nm* and kmail/kaddressbook (and everything related to that). Note2: Any packages related to telepathy are also missing. This is due to telepathy's current dependency on python2-dbus, which will not be in RHEL8. Note3: There are no packages that are qt4 based. Note4: There were over a hundred more kde/plasma/qt5 related packages, and I didn't know which ones people were actually using. So if you have a favorite KDE/Plasma/QT5 application that isn't currently available in epel8, and isn't in the list above, let me know and we'll see if we can get it in.

I will send a follow up email when it is out. -- https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-00865efa86 -- https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-bda6808b41 _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
