Visual Studio Code: Enable native Wayland support

Native wayland support is now working consistently for me in VSCode, giving much better text rendering. Unfortunately, it's still hidden behind some command-line flags.

By adding some files to /usr/local/*, you can ensure that VSCode always launches with these flags.

Adding launch flags to VSCode

Assuming that the VSCode launcher is /usr/bin/code-oss (as is the case in Arch):

  1. Create /usr/local/bin/code-oss with the following content:

Enable PipeWire on Ubuntu 22.04

Enable PipeWire on Ubuntu 22.04

This guide is only for original Ubuntu out-of-the-box packages. If you have added a custom PPA like pipewire-debian, you might get into conflicts.

Ubuntu 22.04 has PipeWire partially installed and enabled as it's used by browsers (WebRTC) for recoding the screeen under Wayland. We can enable remaining parts and use PipeWire for audio and Bluetooth instead of PulseAudio.

Starting from WirePlumber version 0.4.8 automatic Bluetooth profile switching (e.g. switching from A2DP to HSP/HFP when an application needs microphone access) is supported. Jammy (22.04) repos provide exactly version 0.4.8. So, we're good.

Based on Debian Wiki, but simplified for Ubuntu 22.04.

Setting up a Bluetooth Speaker from the command line on a raspberry Pi Zero W

The setup of a bluetooth speaker on a Pi Zero W is pretty touchy.

Please get in touch via Twitter @actuino or http://www.actuino.fr/ if you've got comments or improvements to this quick draft.

First checks

  • Use a solid power source
  • check the speaker works on another hardware (android phone f.i.)
  • make sure you've updated your Raspbian, install and run rpi-update just in case.
