How to install KDE in QubesOS 4.1 beta1. The whole process in one post with some minor corrections.
Everything is done in dom0 terminal. Run Terminal Emulator in Main menu.
You DO NOT need to enter
sudo qubes-dom0-update @kde-desktop-qubes
Just write the following command:
sudo dnf install apper breeze-icon-theme colord-kde dolphin kcm_systemd kde-runtime kde-settings-pulseaudio kde-style-breeze kdelibs kdeplasma-addons kdialog khelpcenter khotkeys kinfocenter kmenuedit kmix konsole5 kscreen ksysguard kwin phonon-qt5-backend-gstreamer plasma-breeze plasma-desktop plasma-desktop-doc plasma-pa plasma-user-manager plasma-workspace polkit-kde qt5-qdbusviewer sddm sddm-breeze sddm-kcm sni-qt
That’s all!
Optionally you can install KDE default login manager sddm:
sudo dnf install sddm
Set sddm according to Qubes needs
sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf
add the following lines to the file:
[XDisplay]
ServerArguments=-nolisten tcp -background none
Press Ctrl+x, y and hit Enter
Then we need to activate it by:
sudo systemctl disable lightdm
sudo systemctl enable sddm
I did not install coloring script because colored icons were good enough to distinguish qubes windows.
Don’t do this. (Besides the fact that dnf wont do anything in dom0,sudo qubes-dom0-update kde-settings-qubes in dom0.and decent coloring.
