I just waste a whole night trying to upgrade to Plasma 5, dependency hell. I ended up doing...
apt-get remote kde* plasma* ...which got me in a good space to install plasma-desktop and lightdm, and now a desktop that sort of works. Now after much searching I'm finding that either some things haven't made it into Sid, simply don't exist yet in Plasma 5, or I just haven't found a good solution to. I'm hoping by listing some of this stuff here and either get a confirmation that it's just not ready for Plasma 5 on Sid, or that maybe there's some solution to getting it working that I haven't found. - No simple way of getting older style system tray apps in the newer system tray (Pidgin, Shutter) - No printer manager - No veromix - Ability to customize time/date format isn't implemented yet (or ever will be?) - No kscreensaver - Can't customize where krunner indexes - No colord / KDE color profile manager - CPU/RAM/HD panel monitors are huge and there's no way to resize them -- Rubin ru...@starset.net
