Cannot run VS Code on a WSL Kasm installation #47

Closed franzbischoff closed 1 year ago

franzbischoff commented 1 year ago

When running the VSCode workspace, it fails to run the vscode app.

The reason was found on the container logs:

Do you want to continue anyway? [y/N] To use Visual Studio Code with the Windows Subsystem for Linux, please install Visual Studio Code in Windows and uninstall the Linux version in WSL. You can then use thecodecommand in a WSL terminal just as you would in a normal command prompt.

This happens because KASM is installed on a WSL environment, and the kernel name (uname -r) propagates inside the containers, and vscode thinks it is being called on WSL.

Proposal to fix it:

add on workspace configuration (Docker Run Config Override (JSON)) the following:

{
  "environment": {
    "DONT_PROMPT_WSL_INSTALL": "No_Prompt_please"
  }
}

Best regards.
