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
qdbusto 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.
