Installing KDE on FreeBSD 15.0 / 15.1 with no avail
As suggested on a previous and deleted post by u/grahamperrin, here I am asking some questions about KDE and FreeBSD.
I've tried all morning long to install FreeBSD 15.x with KDE for a project I'm investigating.
First on my PC (AMD Ryzen 7 5700, ASUS B550 TUF Gaming II, Radeon RX 7600) has been IMPOSSIBLE to boot the installer. Every time I've tried with any ISO of FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE or FreeBSD 15.1-STABLE I've been smacked in the face with something like "Waiting for CAM..." 5 times in a row, and then stopping the install altogether. I don't know why.
Later on my laptop (HP Probook 445 G8) the same drive (external SSD via USB) with the same ISOs, booted fine and installed it. Well... when I say "fine" I mean trying to ignore some ACPI errors that keeps throwing every few seconds, but it does it with Linux too, and I don't know where they come from.
As the installer kept going I've been filling the blanks, user info, disk selection, etc...
Then, on the... terminal? CLI? ...on the prompt, using "pkg install desktop-installer" I tried to install the installer for the desktops and use it. I guess it did something.
The weird thing is: I selected KDE as the desktop environment, "SDDM" was enabled on rc.conf at the end of the installer process, as well as "DBUS", but while DBUS was correctly installed, SDDM was nowhere to be found. A quick "pkg install sddm" later, it worked fine after a reboot... but only in X11 mode, albeit always telling the installer to use Wayland.
So... question: Is there a place where a documentation is living for this installer? Is there a place for it to place this kind of... bugs? ...errors? I don't know what to call them. Am I missing some crucial step?
Right now I'm writing this on the laptop with Firefox on KDE over FreeBSD 15.1-STABLE, so somethings are working. But I don't know if this is the intended behaviour, and if it isn't where to communicate it.
