Plasma Mobile configuration - Surehand53 - 07-05-2023
Plasma Mobile configuration
The examples in this text are for the factory danctnix distro of Archlinux for the Pinetab 2.
In the guide to install plasma mobile on the Pinetab 2 here we have the issue that the package plasma-mobile-settings cannot be installed doe to some file conflicts.
Plasma Mobile also works ok without that package, but what is it that is configured there and what is useful for the Pinetab 2?
The plasma-mobile-settings package
There are different variations of this package.
- The original is in the KDE repository. https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/plasma-phone-settings
- Here is the one from Dancnix : https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/tree/master/PKGBUILDS/plasma/plasma-mobile-settings
Here is the content of the folder that failed to install previously.
Code:
Filename Description
90-plasma-flashlight.rules pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: various improvements
91_plasma-mobile.gschema.override pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: new pkgbuild
PKGBUILD pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: remove window decorations

settings.ini pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: new pkgbuild
startkderc pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: switch to mm & enable sysdboot90-plasma-flashlight.rules
Folder: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/
The Pinetab2 doesn't have a flashlight. I skip this file.
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="leds", ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="white:flash", \
RUN+="/bin/chmod 666 /sys/class/leds/%k/brightness"91_plasma-mobile.gschema.override
Folder: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
I guess this impacts GDK.
Code:
[org.maliit.keyboard.maliit]
device='plasmamobile'
theme='Breeze'PKGBUILD
This is the script that installs the package. Very useful to see how and in which folder which file gets installed.
Example:
Code:
...
package() {
xdg=$pkgdir/etc/xdg
install -Dm644 applications-blacklistrc $xdg/applications-blacklistrc
install -Dm644 kdeglobals $xdg/kdeglobals
install -Dm644 kwinrc $xdg/kwinrc
install -Dm644 kscreenlockerrc $xdg/kscreenlockerrc
install -Dm644 startkderc $xdg/startkderc
install -Dm644 "${srcdir}/91_plasma-mobile.gschema.override" -t "${pkgdir}/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas"
install -Dm644 "${srcdir}/plasmamobile.json" -t "${pkgdir}/usr/share/maliit/keyboard2/devices/"
install -Dm644 "${srcdir}/settings.ini" -t "${pkgdir}/etc/skel/.config/gtk-3.0/"
...application-blacklist
Folder: /etc/xdg
Lists applications that are not shown in the Application view. e.g.:
Code:
blacklist=cuttlefish,org.kde.plasma.themeexplorer,org.k ...kde-tweaks.sh
Folder: /etc/profile.d/
Code:
# This makes Kirigami apps go smoother such as Angelfish.
export KIRIGAMI_LOWPOWER_HARDWARE=1
# Most pure GTK3/Qt apps use wayland by default, but some,
# like Firefox, need the backend to be explicitely selected.
export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1kdeglobals
Folder: /etc/xdg/
Code:
[General]
BrowserApplication[$e]=!angelfish
[KDE]
LookAndFeelPackage=org.kde.plasma.phonekdewallet.kwl and kdewallet.alt
No idea what these package do. For now I skip these. Kwallet seems to work anyway.
kscreenlockerrc
Folder: /etc/xdg/ I have not installed this yet.
Code:
[Daemon]
LockOnStart=truekwinrc
Folder: /etc/xdg/
Here is a mix of the KDE Plasma Mobile and Danctnix settings:
Code:
[Plugins]
# Blur is far too slow for many mobile devices, don't have it enabled by default
blurEnabled=false
[Wayland]
InputMethod[$e]=/usr/share/applications/com.github.maliit.keyboard.desktop
VirtualKeyboardEnabled=true
# This is here for legacy purposes since look-and-feel packages don't have an upgrade path
# If the device came installed with Plasma 5.26 or newer, then this is not needed
# Edit: Commented out as not needed for the PineTab2 (starts with Plasma 5.27)
#[org.kde.kdecoration2]
#NoPlugin=trueplasma-mobile-settings.install
Not quite sure what this does. Activate the settings after the install ?
plasmamobile.json
In /usr/share/maliit/keyboard2/devices/
With this file you can change the look of the Maliit virtual keyboard that is used as standard in Plasma-mobile.
There can be several, quite similar files here. plasmamobile.json is the one that is used. I am not sure where it is configured to use plasmamobile.json.
These parameters set the height of the virtual keyboard for portrait and landscape mode. For me these values work:
Code:
"keyboardHeightPortrait": 0.22,
"keyboardHeightLandscape": 0.35,powerdevil.hook
Folder: /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/
Code:
[Trigger]
Type = Path
