Upgrade to higher KDE on CentOS 7.

zethan · 11-27-2018, 05:01 PM

Hi there,

I like CentOS 7 a lot, even though, I have just used it for a short time. I have used different Linux distributions, in the past, however. I bet I will be a big fan of CentOS real soon.

My question to you is how I would be able to upgrade the KDE to the highest version possible.

Thank you.

I don't know the answer to your question, but want to point out that the value of CentOS is it's stability, accomplished by "bundling" software into very stable, well tested releases. It is my go-to distro, and I've learned to just wait for the latest version to show up in the repositories.

That said, what does

Code:

yum list *plasma

show you? I get

Code:

Installed Packages    
kde-settings-plasma.noarch             19-23.7.el7.centos                             @base
Available Packages
kf5-plasma.x86_64                      5.51.0-1.el7                                    epel

Which seems to indicate there's a later version in the epel repository.

It works.

Thank you.

zethan · 11-27-2018, 09:03 PM

My mistake. It does not work yet, as I can only see the same KDE when I am logging in. I checked "About KDE" in the Help menu, and I see "KDE - Be Free! Platform Version 4.14.8".

Thank you.

Hi there,

I found this one on the internet, but this post has the year 2016 on it. Maybe, it would still work the same way.

Hi everyone,

I have just updated my CentOS 7 to 18.10. Now, I will try to build KDE Plasma 5 using the instruction above.

1. yum group install "Development Tools"

Code:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
There is no installed groups file.
Maybe run: yum groups mark convert (see man yum)
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

 * updates: repos.lax.quadranet.com
Warning: Group development does not have any packages to install.
Maybe run: yum groups mark install (see man yum)
No packages in any requested group available to install or update

2. yum install lsb
3. yum install cpanminus
4. yum install cmake3
5. yum install qt5-*
6. ln -s /usr/bin/cmake3 /usr/bin/cmake
7. wget https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/co...ts-epel-7.repo

Code:

--2018-12-05 15:22:58--  https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jmliger/gnome316-backports/repo/epel-7/jmliger-gnome316-backports-epel-7.repo

I have questions about the lines in bold above, especially the line number 7.
Do I need the line 7 since I am using older version of KDE right now? You would only need this line if you are starting with Gnome DE correct?

Thanks.

kdesrc-build requires some minimal support to operate, including support

Some mandatory Perl modules are missing, and kdesrc-build cannot operate
without them.  Please ensure these modules are installed and available to Perl:

        one of (YAML::XS, YAML::PP, YAML::Syck)

kdesrc-build can do this for you on many distros:
Run 'kdesrc-build --initial-setup'

Logfile for kcoreaddons is cmake.log

I believe I only have problem with kcoreaddons right now.

Code:

<<<  PACKAGES FAILED TO BUILD  >>>
kcoreaddons - /opt/kde/log/2018-12-06-01/kcoreaddons/cmake.log
:-(
Your logs are saved in /opt/kde/log/2018-12-06-01

Thank you.

By installing software that isn't install via yum you are limiting your chances of getting support when things go sideways.

If you are looking for the latest software then you should look at Fedora.

Thank you, but I found experimenting with CentOS 7 is really fun as well.
