Hi
What is the recommended method to install KDE on RHEL 8?
I tried adding EPEL repo and did:
yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
But this fails with:
================
Error:
Problem 1: conflicting requests
- nothing provides xmessage needed by
plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64
Problem 2: package sddm-breeze-5.18.4.1-2.el8.noarch requires
plasma-workspace = 5.18.4.1-2.el8, but none of the providers can be
installed
- conflicting requests
- nothing provides xmessage needed by
plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64
Problem 3: package plasma-desktop-5.18.4.1-2.el8.1.x86_64 requires
plasma-workspace >= 5.18, but none of the providers can be installed
- conflicting requests
- nothing provides xmessage needed by
plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64
Problem 4: package kde-print-manager-19.12.3-2.el8.x86_64 requires
plasma-workspace, but none of the providers can be installed
- conflicting requests
- nothing provides xmessage needed by
plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64
================
Do I need to do anything else to install KDE off EPEL? or is there
another source?
Thanks

That should be all you need to do.
I'll look into that problem. Hopefully it's something quick.
If it's not, I'll get you a workaround.

OK, I forgot that there is one other step.
For many EPEL packages (including KDE) you have to also enable the
codeready-builder (RHEL) or PowerTools (CentOS)
#### If RHEL 8 do
subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
#### If CentOS 8 do
dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools
#### If CentOS Stream do
dnf config-manager --enable Stream-PowerTools
It looks like that should fix your problem.

That worked! Thanks a ton.
I have successfully installed Plasma and logged in from GDM.
Is there any specific reason to switch to sddm? or can I live with gdm?
My final objective is to make a custom DVD image that will install KDE
Plasma along with several other packages that are useful for a typical
workstation at my office. I had done the same for RHEL 5 and 6, with lot
of help from Rex Dieter, Than Ngo and some good people from Fedora & KDE
IRC groups. To this end, I am not sure how to make sddm come up by
default after the install.
And do you all have any suggestions and recommendations for this custom
DVD effort?
Thanks,
Syam

Thank you. That is helpful.
I have hit another problem when trying to install Okteta:
-----------------
Error:
Problem: conflicting requests
- nothing provides gccxml needed by okteta-1:0.26.0-3.el8.1.x86_64
------------------
I downloaded the source RPMs of this version (0.26.0-3) and a newer
version (0.26.4) for Fedora from Koji. The RHEL version spec file has
Requires: gccxml libxslt
While the Fedora version has:
Requires: castxml libxslt
Any idea why this is so?
Thanks,

systemctl enable sddm --force
will enable sddm (and disable any other login manager, like gdm) for the
next boot.
Thanks. But that's a manual operation, isn't it? What I want is to have
sddm as default (if it's really required for Plasma) right after OS
installation from DVD media. Just like how gdm comes up now.
That's why I was wondering if it's OK to have gdm.

It should just work to do that, provided sddm is the only login manager
installed. Otherwise, it's a race (whichever login manager that gets
installed first wins).
That's why I was wondering if it's OK to have gdm.
gdm is ok, but lacks some features, like user switching and I think shutting
down from inside you're user session (you my have to logout+shudown in 2
steps instead of 1).

Opening a bugzilla would be the first pointer. It makes things like
this more trackable.
But looking at the spec file looks like Fedora has a recommends
gccxml, while RHEL has a requires.
Simple enough fix.
Thanks for letting us know.

New subject: KDE on RHEL 8 - Okteta package problem
Fixed with an updated okteta.
It's currently built, but hasn't made it to the epel-testing repo yet.
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2020-67e827b0c7
It will probably make it into epel-testing tomorrow, and then it's a
two week wait for testing.
They can either wait for it to hit testing and then do
dnf enablerepo=epel-testing install okteta
or they can follow that link and manually download the fixed package.

Thanks a ton for this. I have installed most packages for KDE on RHEL 8.
Everything seem to work fine (on my VM). I had to manually build only
very few packages - KRename, Kchmviewer and yakuake (all from Fedora
koji srpms).
Regarding Bugzilla entry, where exactly do I file this? There's no
Okteta product for RHEL. And filing against Fedora is not really correct
as it works fine on Fedora. But is that where I should be filing
packaging related issues for KDE on RHEL 8 as well?

I have two more packages that would be nice to have in EPEL8:
KCachegrind and Kst.
I found kcachegrind-19.04.2-1.epel8.playground on Koji. This one seems
older while the rest of the KDE packages on EPEL are newer at v19.12. I
have filed a bug report at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1890453
I'm trying to build Kst myself using the srpm from Koji. It seems to
have too many dependencies. Now hacking through those.
Thanks and regards,
Syam
