I made some progress. There're a few environment variables which affect this issue: QT_PLUGIN_PATH XDG_DATA_DIRS (With this one I can see the spinning wheel with the KDE logo) QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH QML_IMPORT_PATH QML2_IMPORT_PATH and one of the last ones made plasmashell stop complaining about missing shell modules. Now I see the KDE logo, then is disappears and the screen stays black. This isn't really the right place to provide this kind of support but perhaps this wiki page might help you: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source#Set_up_a_script_for_preparing_the_environment If you still have issues feel free to ping us in #plasma on Freenode IRC or visit the KDE forums. |
