OpenSUSE Tumbleweed - another bug

 

Tumbleweed used to be great in the past eight years or so that I used it on my main desktop. But recently it is just bugs after bugs after every update.

Here is another one after updating today: the KDE screenlocker crashed with segfault and failed to unlock the screen. Seems to be pam library related.

Google cloud AppEngine deployment issue with cache

Notes to self: when deploying Google Cloud applications, if encounter the following "no such object" error, it is because the deployment process is looking for cache that doesnt exist.

"build": ERROR: failed to initialize analyzer: getting previous image: getting config file for image

To solve it, deploy with "--no-cache" parameter.

Segfault with bluez and A2DP

Currently (as of Feb 23, 2024) openSUSE Tubleweed with bluez 5.71-2.4 is experiencing segfault whenever I try to connect my Sony WH-H800 headphone (but fine with others).

After some digging, seems like it is plagued by a recent bug. Waiting for Tumbleweed to include the patch.

Logitech Media Server commands

While moving the music stream service from Tidal to Spotify on Home Assistant, I found I forgot how to get the playlist ID from Logitech Media Server (LMS).

Note to self: connect to LMS with "nc lms-address 9090" and issue the command "playlists 0 100 tags:E". The command doc is available at "lms-address:port/html/docs/cli-api.html"
