Hi,
In order to install the KDE Desktop I used DNF to install the
KDE-desktop-environment group, which place a plasma entry in the desktop
manager desktop list, but selecting this entry did not boot into KDE, it
just continued to display the Desktop Manager. It wasn't until I
manually installed, I think, the plasma-workspace-wayland that 'plasma
for wayland' was added to the desktop list in the display that did
enable KDE to be started. Given that it seems that F29 is standardizing
on Wayland instead of Xorg, why doesn't the KDE-desktop-environment
group also install this package to provide the needed Wayland support so
KDE can be started under Wayland, rather than require the user to
install it manually?
AFAIK KDE under Wayland is still quite experimental. In any case the
best place to ask would be the Fedora KDE list:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
No idea why people try this route when the F29 KDE Plasma spin works
perfectly fine...
Because he already has Fedora installed and simply wants to add a
different DE?
The live installer installs Gnome by default, whose interface I haven't
liked for a long time, and I much prefer using KDE, but the KDE entry
placed on the DM does not start KDE, but the entry placed there after
installing the wayland support for kde package does launch KDE. I'm
still trying to find the logs created by the KDE start up to determine
why the Plasma entry on the DM, which I assume is to start KDE under
Xorg, doesn't actually launch KDE.
regards,
Steve
