Splux Linux

SPS Linux live images for 2026-08-31-16.

Use these instead of -15.

-15 still failed alsa-utils during setup: AMPATHALSA never added -L unless --with-alsa-prefix was set. Live Plasma could still hang as a black screen with an instant cursor after KSplash was already skipped.

This set:

• alsa-utils configure uses --with-alsa-prefix on SPS_ROOT/usr/lib64
• alsa-lib ships an unversioned libasound.so next to the soname
• mkpkg writes CONFIGSITE so autoconf sees SPSROOT LDFLAGS
• setup can set user and root passwords (files or hashes, not argv)
• live Plasma starts kwin_wayland --drm, then plasmashell
• plasma-welcome Name is hardcoded SPS Linux, not os-release Splux
• simpledrm loads only if no KMS node appeared

Assets:

• sps-live-tty.iso - console live image with recipes and a compiler
• sps-live-tty-slim.iso - small console image; setup needs the network
• sps-live-plasma.iso - Plasma/Wayland live session (Konsole -> setup)

Checksums are in SHA256SUMS.

Flash the tty image for a source install. Slim has no gcc.
