Install OpenBSD 7.5 and KDE Plasma 5 in QEMU VM tutorial for beginners - April 2024 - 65ee506d

I install OpenBSD 7.5 in a QEMU VM. I install the KDE Plasma 5 desktop and the tigervnc VNC server.
Notes:
OpenBSD greater or equal to 7.5
Install e.g. ftp.openbsd.or... . Read ftp.openbsd.or... . Create user named administrator.
Connect via SSH.
Enable doas
su -
cp /etc/examples/doas.conf /etc/doas.conf
exit
Surviving at the command line:
doas su
An editor like emacs named mg is preinstalled.
pkg_add -v bash git mc emacs--no_x11
ksh is the default sh.
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash
As user administrator
chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash
Surviving in GUI:
rsadowski.de/p...
doas su
pkg_add kde-plasma
As per openports.pl/p...
doas pkg_add tigervnc
vncserver -fg
Asks for a VNC password that is at least 6 characters long.
Do not provide a view only password.
Will create the file ~/.vnc/xstartup
On the VNC client computer, run: vncviewer 192.168.122.180:1
mv ~/.vnc/xstartup ~/.vnc/xstartup~orig
mg ~/.vnc/xstartup
Paste:
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/run/$(id -u)
if [ ! -d $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR ]; then
mkdir -m 700 -p $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
fi
export QT_FORCE_STDERR_LOGGING=1
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE
export DESKTOP_SESSION=plasma
export QT_FORCE_STDERR_LOGGING=1
/usr/local/bin/startplasma-x11 } ~/.startplasma-x11.log 2}&1
Ctrl+X+S to save, Ctrl+X+C to close.
chmod u+x ~/.vnc/xstartup
vncserver -fg
On the VNC client computer, run: vncviewer 192.168.122.180:1
In the VNC client window, resize the window as needed.
This will tell KDE Plasma desktop in OpenBSD to change screen resolution.
Copy/paste of text works across VNC.
In KDE Plasma 5 } start menu } search for konsole } right click on konsole } Add to Favorites
pkg_add kate
In the KDE Plasma main panel, unpin from taskbar the icon for Plasma Discover (which is the KDE app store app).
"The screen locker is broken and unlocking is not possible" ConsoleKit or LoginD is needed.
In the KDE System Settings, disable screen locking for now.
Kirigami System Settings modules (KCMs) do not use the Breeze theme.

OpenBSD is a cool operating system. I would switch to it, if not that I need a library that doesn't support it.

I have the same issue, so I run an Alpine VM under OpenBSD's native hypervisor.

@@littlemeg137 It may solve the issue, but it's hard to set up.

Дуже багато лишніх рухів. Взявся ставити KDE став.
