Thanks Wread. Actually I have everything working OK. SDDM logs into desktop without problems. The main problem I have experienced is with baloo not finding mimetypes but shouldn't be too hard to figure out. I noticed you are running a home baked udev-255 while slackware has moved to eudev.

@brokenman: I think Baloo is the follower of Nepomuk and I will try to do without it after I have KDE5 all set, just as we (fanthom) made kde4 work without Nepo. KWallet and Akonadi stay at the same list. Besides I feel baloo is making KDE5 sluggish :(

I tried eudisk from Slackware current: For me it was a regression compared to the combination of old udisk and udisk2; maybe I didn't hack enough to get my devices listed in the left panel of Dolphin and the most recent device on the panel bottom right.

Udisk2 I found googling...If you want to try it I will send you a link.

Cheers :beer:

I'm using eudev, consolekit2 and udisks2. The file manager seems to be working fine in terms of showing devices, but yes, baloo is a weight.

I will try that combination...
My system already comes up from null auf KDE5 gui. I had a corrupt oxygen-icons file!

Cheers!

P.S. I took out Baloo (+ Baloo-Widgets). It works ok. Only you must click on the net icon to get connected -no more automatic- Baloo is 177 MB heavy.....

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Can you tell me exactly what you removed? Baloo and its widgets are only 960K

Oh Jay!, you are right, Baloo5-521 an Baloo5-widgets-16040 are really tiny. Extracted have both together a footprint of about 2.5M; but nevertheless KDE5 reacts faster. My footprint is now over 1.5G! and I must start reducing it. I dont know where I got that 177!

As long as kde5 is mixed with kde4 this will be a difficult task, you need to double your resources (kdelibs + framweorks), (qt4 + qt5), etc...I will split qt5 to separate the development part from the basic stuff, too.

Happy hacking! :)

Salutations... :good:

I sincerely hope LXQT is NOT being thrown under the bus because it's the reason why I use Porteus. IMHO... :oops: the other desktops suck because I like the
idea of choosing WM's (PekWM). I left the PeppermintOS (LXDE) forum after someone suggested Porteus when I expressed interest in the Siduction (LXQT) project.

The LXQT (3.2) iso doesn't have to be part of the online Porteus builder but that does NOT mean it should not be part of the ftp repo for many of us that use it.

"Best Regards"... :beer:

Just to make it clear, isn't KDE5 meant to be "only" kde5, with the mist recent kds, kdelibs, and qt and such and not a kd44+5 hybrid?

Yes, Kde5 is supposed to be independent from Kde4. This "independency" is happening step by step with every new release of Kde5. When all supported applications are ported to Kde5, the loop will be closed.

The most important applications are already ported to Kde5 (they use xcb instead of Xlib, qt5 instead of qt4, etc.), so don't make use of the old k's... They (alien.slackbook.org/ktown) are bringing updates of Kde5 practically every month, bringing newly ported apps and thus eliminating old versions depending from qt4, etc., and adjusting already ported ones to work again in case the newcomers alters the functionality of already ported apps.

Cheers!

From my perspective... wisdom does not have an expiration date.
True enough but sometimes the circumstances it relates to change. Although apparently not in this case.
