FreeBSD Handbook: 5.7. Desktop Environments

Code:

5.7.2. KDE
KDE is another easy-to-use desktop environment. This desktop provides a suite of applications with a consistent look and feel, a standardized menu and toolbars, keybindings, color-schemes, internationalization, and a centralized, dialog-driven desktop configuration. More information on KDE can be found at http://www.kde.org/. For FreeBSD-specific information, consult http://freebsd.kde.org.

To install the KDE package, type:

# pkg install x11/kde5
To instead build the KDE port, use the following command. Installing the port will provide a menu for selecting which components to install. KDE is a large application and will take some time to compile, even on a fast computer.

# cd /usr/ports/x11/kde5
# make install clean
KDE requires /proc to be mounted. Add this line to /etc/fstab to mount this file system automatically during system startup:

proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
KDE uses D-Bus and HAL for a message bus and hardware abstraction. These applications are automatically installed as dependencies of KDE. Enable them in /etc/rc.conf so they will be started when the system boots:

dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
Since KDE Plasma 5, the KDE Display Manager, KDM is no longer developed. A possible replacement is SDDM. To install it, type:

# pkg install x11/sddm
Add this line to /etc/rc.conf:

sddm_enable="YES"
A second method for launching KDE Plasma is to type startx from the command line. For this to work, the following line is needed in ~/.xinitrc:

exec ck-launch-session startplasma-x11
A third method for starting KDE Plasma is through XDM. To do so, create an executable ~/.xsession as follows:

% echo "exec ck-launch-session startplasma-x11" > ~/.xsession
Once KDE Plasma is started, refer to its built-in help system for more information on how to use its various menus and applications.

kphotoalbum

KPHOTOALBUM(1)						      General Commands Manual						    KPHOTOALBUM(1)

NAME

       kphotoalbum -- KDE tool for indexing, searching and viewing images by keywords.

SYNOPSIS

       kphotoalbum [--demo]  [-c file]	[--import file]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the kphotoalbum command.

       KDE  Image  Database  (kphotoalbum)  lets  you index, search, group and view images by keywords, date, locations and persons. It provides a
       quick and elegant way to lookup groups of images when you have thousands of pictures on your hard disk.

       The information associated with each photo is stored in an XML file.  Together with its keywords, kphotoalbum  stores  each  picture's  MD5
       sum, so it will recognize them even if you move them to another directory.

OPTIONS

       This  program  follows  the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). Below are the kphotoalbum-spe-
       cific options.  For a full summary of options, run kphotoalbum --help-all.

       --help-all
		 Show all options, including generic KDE and Qt options.

       -c file	 Load alternate config file.

       --demo	 Starts KPhotoAlbum with a prebuilt set of demo images.

       --import file
		 Import database file. KPhotoAlbum allows you to export a set of your images into a .kim file, which other people may import  into
		 their	database,  to  get your classification for these images. This option allows you to import an external .kim file into kPho-
		 toAlbum.

SEE ALSO

       digikam (1).

       Full user documentation is available through the KDE Help Center.  You can also enter the URL  help:/kphotoalbum/      directly	into  kon-
       queror or you can run helpcenter     help:/kphotoalbum/ from the command-line.

       If the KDE Help Centre is not installed then you can read this documentation in HTML format from /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kphotoalbum/.
