A small issue, it looks like installing plasma installs appstream and apt-config-icons...
https://wiki.debian.org/DEP-11
https://packages.debian.org/buster/apt-config-icons
https://packages.debian.org/buster/appstreamThese packages are useful for software GUI tools, like gdebi, synaptic, plasma-discover, etc... I manage packages via the terminal. I removed appstream as it slows down apt-update a bit. I was seeing apt search for DEP-11 bunsen icons 48x48 and 64x64. Not a big deal, but I thought I should mention it.
I am really enjoying plasma's session, it has been stable and quick. I love having a real session-manager again. Logout or reboot with a program open, by default that program should open with the next session.
Bumping, a good tip.
sudo apt purge --autoremove appstream

Fixed by dist-upgrading to sid...
Smart move as it appears that testing did not receive all the packages needed thus the mixture of versions that can cause breakage like what you had. Sid is actually pretty darn good for me as I've upgraded BL Helium install to Sid and had no issues. Of course had to watch for packages that might be removed in a dist-upgrade on Sid. KDE on Sid gets "broken" alot due to the rapid update cadence compared to a more mature WM environment like Openbox.

@DeepDayze, thank you for starting this thread. My desktop recovery has been so much easier than it could have been, due to my notes here. The thread also spurred me to install Plasma 5.13, the greatest DE on Linux ATM.

This saves over 200MB of desktop RAM on my 3G RAM, 64-bit system. Reboot, 750+ down to 533, streaming Pandora.

BunsenLabs is better, nearly the same thing with less RAM and less fuss. That said, compton is dead, Wayland will be default in 8 years or so and Plasma is robust in both compositing and flexibility.
You should see the compositing, it is flipping beautiful. Open 4 windows and hit a "Show Desktop" shortcut, those things will slurp to four different corners and your brain will turn to jelly. Do it again to bring them back and your jelly-brain will turn to gruel and start to congeal.

I love the new Plasma so far but Wbar fails to work correctly and I can't seem to get conky working right no matter what I set in the conkyrc. I also noticed that Plasma sets the wallpaper ABOVE the root window and the root window shows in wbar and in conky. Conky window disappears no matter what is set in conkyrc. Did you get conky working correctly and how did you do that?
For now I made launchers in the panel similar to what I have in tint2 on the OB side. I could even pin commonly used apps in the Favorites (like in Windows).

OK got a nice Plasma setup on my desktop and it rocks. Still a tweak here and there and I didn't install any KDE apps as I am using Plasma as a window manager.

Why not try Latte dock instead of Wbar?

I don't use it myself, the default panel along with keyboard shortcuts to launch most common applications works for me.

Thanks for that suggestion and I may end up using it and moving the taskbar to the top of the screen much like a Mac. As for Conky I gave up as can't seem to keep it onscreen.

I have a very tiny conky that stays on top, whether I use a wallpaper or not. This is on Kubuntu 18.04 with `conky-all/bionic,now 1.10.8-1 amd64`.

Did you get conky working correctly and how did you do that?
Come on, boy, it's your thread. Keep up!
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic … 992#p74992
@Vasa, please post or link your entire conky, I'd like to test it.
@D-Dayze, you've dist-upgraded helium to sid? Also, for posting thumbnail via scrot.moe, do the following so it can be viewed full-screen...
We recommend https://scrot.moe for image uploads. After uploading your image, click "Embed codes" and copy/paste the "Thumbnail image (linked) BBCode" at the bottom of the page, done.
To open the posted scrot thumbnail fullscreen in Firefox, scroll down to the Download icon on the right (next to Like and Share), right-click it and choose "Open Link in New Tab" to open the screenshot in a new browser tab, then switch to that tab.

Also I had dist-upgraded my BL install to sid and no problems were had. Been running sid for 3 months now
Soon Plasma 5.14 will be out and more improvements hopefully.
Would been cool if KDE/Plasma 5.13 got backported to Stretch.
Hopefully there could be the possibility of an "unofficial" BL spin based on Plasma (albeit just plasma-desktop) down the road if there's interest so if others got to play with KDE on BL maybe that could happen

It's obviously a security risk to have a password available but it's a chance I take.
