I am having the exact same problem. Thanks for raising this, otherwise I would have done the same.
This bug has been fixed in the latest release of VS Code Insiders!
@kbirger, you can help us out by commenting /verified
if things are now working as expected.
If things still don't seem right, please ensure you're on version a0b90ac5e04ea9a0733b68062253a469994e170e of Insiders (today's or later - you can use Help: About
in the command palette to check), and leave a comment letting us know what isn't working as expected.
Happy Coding!
@deepak1556 are there steps for this? Seems like the default Alpine image has both getconf and /etc/os-release, so I'm not sure what I should test on.
Issue requires a custom linux variant which I also don't have steps to verify, but the fix was verified in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/204745#issuecomment-1938459648 by another user on similar setup.
The insiders build Is is working as expected for me. Tested it on a Synology DS918+, 4.4.302+ #69057 SMP Fri Jan 12 17:02:59 CST 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux synology_apollolake_918+
It doesn't work in my case. It keeps asking for what distribution is installed once the VSCode server is installed.
/verified
Also not working for me (neither in vscode nor insiders). Only works if I add the file /tmp/vscode-skip-server-requirements-check
Can we reopen that? @deepak1556
related to #206533 ?
Can confirm the issue with ssh setup, will track it in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/206533
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
The issue involves connecting to a host via SSH, and occurs when installing the updated version of vscode-server on the host. This worked with the same client/host on a previous version of VS Code.

Steps to Reproduce:
Connection fails with an error saying
getconf: command not found
because this distro does not ship withgetconf
, but nonetheless has the correct version of glibc and other dependencies.This seems to come from the following line of code: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/resources/server/bin/helpers/check-requirements-linux.sh#L22
As a workaround, I've been able to create
/tmp/vscode-skip-server-requirements-check
and have a functioning setup. This confirms that the requirements are actually met.Thoughts
It seems like the
$BITNESS
variable only matters for arm64 and aarch64 systems. It would make sense to rewrite the script to only do the check when it is necessary, in order to maximize compatibility.I'm going through the script manually line by line to spot other issues. It's mostly fine on my host.
On some hosts,
/etc/os-release
may also not be present. (Such as Synology NAS, which is perfectly capable of running this software). It is only used to detect nixos and alpine linux. Perhaps this lookup can also be moved to the appropriate places for compatibility. Alternately, can'tuname
give this answer?One other thing to note is the the libstdcpp versino detection. It seems to be incorrect. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/resources/server/bin/helpers/check-requirements-linux.sh#L74 Checks for a specific version 6.0.25, but will throw a warning if a newer version, such as 6.0.31 is reported on the lines above in the variable
