I was not able to successfully start up KDE on the Pi 2. The startup screen appears with the moving icons, but once they finish I am met with a black screen. I am using startx with a link to /usr/local/bin/startkde4.
When switching back to the console I see a lot of errors flash by but there usually are a lot of errors in the console when using KDE 4. One error in particular I see is "communication problem with plasma-desktop - it probably crashed".
I have tried deleting .kde and the /var/tmp/kdecache folders. I have not created an xorg.conf; the scfb driver is being loaded automatically at framebuffer resolution. The only package available is the minimal kde-workspace metapackage but I understand I should at least be able to see a desktop.
I am going to need KDE 4 to force adjust window sizes for a small touchscreen.
This gives me the feeling that building it myself will not change things if the official package is not working.
Is there anything I can try to get this to work?
