Looking for Kubuntu Plasma 5.1 that works with VMWare Player
MilesAhead:
I've been trying to check out KDE 5.1 Plasma but so far the live CD images won't install in VMWare Player. I can play them but the included theme has no transparency as far as I can see(pun acknowledged.) Since I can't install I can't download themes and use them etc..
I tried going the Ubuntu 14.10 route and got one to install, but it gives video errors on startup. I have to boot to the default window manager, get the error, then switch to the Plasma. If I boot directly to the plasma I get black screen or scrambled eggs. Just not worth the effort.
Right now I don't have an expendable machine to try installing on the metal.

Do any of these Known Problems/Known Plasma 5 Problems seem to fit your issue?

What happens on the install is that the partitioning program reports an error. It can't partition the virtual drive. Ubuntu got the same error but installed after I hit Ignore.

I'm experiencing similar video errors when attempting to install Kubuntu 14.10 Plasma 4 or 5 in VirtualBox. I can't get it installed because the graphics are messed up. :-/

I even tried the Kubuntu Plasma 5.1 nightly 386 build. It comes up to 800x600 screen with no resolution settings in the Monitor settings. Strange. I guess I'll have to try once a week until the VMs catch up.
