KLV-plasma-KDE-CE-1.3
Void Kernel linux-6.6.62_1

Notification:
The build plugin has been significantly updated and improved.

Added Samba service.
TLP added --- system performance optimization service
Tuned --- Of course it would be better, but unfortunately Void did not bother to compile this package, for unknown reasons

• TLP is a feature-rich command line utility for Linux, saving laptop battery power without the need to delve deeper into technical details.

  TLP’s default settings are already optimized for battery life, so you may just install and forget it.

  Nevertheless TLP is highly customizable to meet your specific requirements.

Added TLP UI

• GTK-UI to change TLP configuration files easily

• Conky configuration file has been replaced

KDE-plasma-Void-CE Wayland

Hmmmm...... very interesting. KDE plasma running on wayland on Void.

That sounds like a winner to me.

How big does the rootfs get?

in condensed form I don’t know I could say one thing: unpacked "07firstrib_rootfs" weighs 3.7 Gb
what else can I say, it works pretty well, but you’ll have to tinker with the build plugin
most likely it will be less if you throw out X11, since I have both X11 and Wayland

KDE-plasma-Void-CE-1.0 Wayland +Pipewire

Plugin permissions and re-assembly, much better, bugs and shortcomings fixed

@Sofiya is this a KLV in foundation?

I don’t understand the question, please phrase it differently

I think it asks "Is this using the KLV base ('foundation')?" AS such, this project would constitute a KL topic thread.

@Sofiya your suggestion of excluding X11 is a good one as Wayland has matured enough to carry the display behavior loads for most 64bit PCs now and in the future.

I'll hold off on excluding X11 for now, this requires testing

Yes this is a KLV stream !!! build plugin used I'm still writing it
Since I worked with KDE about 10 years ago, a lot has changed at this stage.I'm looking for a middle ground
in order to exclude X11, all applications must use Wayland, at this stage not all applications use Wayland

@Sofiya Looks really nice!

How much RAM is being used right after system start? I do not know much about KDE, was it hard to fix the bugs in the plugins?

700 mb

The standard plugin is written from scratch "f_00_Void_KDE_plasma_no-kernel.plug"
I’m still writing, correcting, testing

When I get home later this week, I will run this build and start working with it.

Right now I'm working from my cell phone hotspot, and I don't want to do too many large downloads.

How do you like Plasma so far?

looks quite nice, Sofiya.
have you tried to run as root? specifically run Dolphin as root?
IIrc, krusader may be more root friendly, or at least it was a few year back when I last looked at KDE.

so far I like what I created

Open Dolphin as root (KDE)

Yes, of course I did, it needs to be enabled in Dolphin. not enabled by default

bluetooth check

Great job Sofiya !! (curiosity won, and tried it ) I take my words back when I said KDE is too heavy, well, it uses more than double amount of RAM compared to Puppy with JWM of course, but runs very smooth on my laptop with 4GB RAM, posting from it now

williwaw wrote:

Seems not:

void-live% sudo dolphin          
Running Dolphin with sudo is not supported as it can cause bugs and expose you to security vulnerabilities. Instead, install the `kio-admin` package from your distro and use it to manage root-owned locations by right-clicking on them and selecting "Open as Administrator".
void-live% sudo xbps-install kio-admin
Package 'kio-admin' not found in repository pool.

EDIT: Oh, see now from post by Sofiya above there's a workaround.

thanks for the fix.
installing as a frugal resulted in a kernel panic, but will redownload and retry before troubleshooting.
is there a checksum for the iso at github?

My check for if an iso is ok is to mount it (I do it anyway often to copy files from the mountpoint for setting up a frugal install manually), if that works it should be right (but anyone correct me if I'm wrong please).

open as administrator >> kio-admin-24.08.2_1.x86_64.xbps

Hello @Sofiya Booted ISO file in a small VM. Updated packages, added FASTFETCH and all is operational. This KL version is updated as it is Wayland (LIVE) and upgraded to v6.1.52

Looks great

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -vga cirrus -m 2G -smp 2 -device AC97 -net nic -net user -rtc base=localtime -name "KL KDECE v1.0 via QEMU" -hda KDE-plasma-Void-CE-1.0.iso

Tested KL's KDECE v1.0 via USB boot to launch ISO file via Ventoy as well as SG2D.

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -vga cirrus -m 2G -smp 2 -device AC97 -net nic -net user -rtc base=localtime -name "KL KDECE v1.0 via QEMU" -hda /dev/sdc

SG2D boots exactly the same as direct ISO file boot with exact behaviors. Ventoy, though, traps after default menu starts.

grub2 parameter

linux /KDE-plasma-Void-CE/vmlinuz w_bootfrom=UUID=fbb65611-fb5c-4b0c-8f21-331dabc54d23=/KDE-plasma-Void-CE w_changes=RAM2

found in grub_config.txt in the iso works well and fast.

tried krusader, but some issues. (some research indicates it may not be quite ready for wayland)
