Some news about KF5
Things moved recently about kf5 in mageia. We had, since a long time, the framework part.
Now that the first stable release is out we packaged the desktop/workspace release based on KF5.
Unfortunalty this can’t be co-installed in parallel of KDE4. For the moment ( not yet clean packages ) you have to follow those steps:
1- Remove kdebase4-workspace ( this will remove a bunch of packages workspace dependant ( plasma applets, etc).
2- install plasma-desktop and plasma-workspace
3 restart your session and in your favorite DM go in KF5.
Keep in mind that those are experimental packages.

The desktop is called Plasma 5, best to change the session name to this (the upstream one is supplied for you).
You are right, i changed it back. I don’t use the plasma.desktop file because our filetriggers create one. Don’t hesitate to tell me when i do some « branding » errors and i will fix.
I suppose you need Cauldron to test that ?
Yes only in cauldron.
Unfortunately the entry for new plasma desktop did not get added into the DM menu. The entry was present in /etc/X11/wmsession.d , but lightdm did not recognize it…
I will test but here i can see Plasma in lightDM.
I will test on a VM a fix if needed.
