Splux Linux

SPS Linux live images for 2026-08-31-9.

Use these instead of -8. Plasma on -8 loaded GPU modules, then died with error starting process "kwin_wayland_wrapper" and Failed to create wl_display. No compositor means no window.

What changed:

• Copy /usr/bin/kwin_wayland_wrapper. startplasma looks it up on PATH

to open the Wayland socket; kwin_wayland alone is not enough.

• Copy libxcb-cursor so the xcb Qt plugin can load if Wayland is down.
• Copy xdg-permission-store so xdg-desktop-portal can start.
• Symlink qdbus to qdbus6 when the host only ships qdbus6.

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.

QEMU still needs a writable target disk besides the ISO. Prefer virtio-gpu or stdvga.
