You might want to talk to Mer guys if you want to run Plasma active on 
Mer. You can talk to kubuntu team, even though they are still focus on 
kubuntu-active for x86.

At lease older version of PA worked OK on my Pandaboard with kubuntu 
12.04 armhf.

As far as I know, kubuntu team hasn't moved to focus on ARM build yet. I 
did try kubuntu-active (w/ 12.04), it didn't boot well. I thought it was 
due to some dependencies failing booting by startactive, but haven't got 
time to debug.

I kept doing (k)Ubuntu based ARM building before though not latest code, 
which you can see some details. (For example, 
http://ezjd.blogspot.ca/2012/02/plasma-active-two-and-pandaboard.html).

Due to an issue with 12.04, I can't get a stable Kubuntu running on my 
Pandaboard. But linaro 12.04 release seems pretty stable, which I will 
work on soon.
