Splux Linux

SPS Linux live images for 2026-09-01-5.

Use these instead of -4.

-4 died in setup while installing Python: make install tried to copy _sqlite3.cpython-314-*.so after CPython imported that module against the live disc's older libsqlite3 and renamed it _sqlite3_failed. mkpkg now puts SPSROOT on LDLIBRARY_PATH for just-built test programs; host gcc and python3 wrappers keep the previous path. sqlite, python, libffi, expat, readline, and ncurses install into lib64.

--install-bootloader on EFI writes \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI without needing NVRAM. If efibootmgr is on PATH, a second grub-install creates the SPS Boot#### entry. The live image seeds efibootmgr from the host.

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.
