FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (read before flagging or commenting!)

What is the difference between this package and the one in the community repo?

This is the official binary distribution from Microsoft. The one in the community repo is an unofficial build made from source. Beyond the license difference and branding, there are some proprietary features not available in the open source version.

There is a new version out, why is the package not updated?

Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date. If there is no new version on that page, it's not yet released. A tag on Github is NOT a release! If you can see the new version on the updates page but the AUR package is still not updated, flag it and give it time. It's usually done within a day or two.

I'm using an AUR helper (yay, yaourt etc.) and I can't install it. Why?

Sometimes AUR helpers do weird things. Download the tarball and install it manually with makepkg -si. If that works, report the problem to your AUR helper's upstream, not here.

When I install this package xdg-open uses vscode, not my file manager! How do I fix this?

Install shared-mime-info-gnome. Also see this reddit thread.

Why is $X a dependency? I don't like it.

Just because $X is not required to open the app, doesn't mean there is nothing that depends on it. Always search the comment history on AUR to see if that dependency has been previously discussed before writing your own comment. Still nothing? Then use namcap to make sure it's really not needed. If namcap doesn't complain, please leave a comment here and I'll investigate.

Something is broken with the app, where do I report it?

The problem might be a packaging issue (wrong paths, dependencies, icons), so please write a comment here first. If you don't get a reply, or if someone says it's an upstream issue, you can report it on Github.

I have a problem with this package, can I email you?

No, you won't get a reply. Please stop doing this. Leave a comment here instead and be patient.

Hello. I am getting this error when trying to install after installing either of the github desktop aur packages.

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) github-desktop-bin-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/04/e9960947a38ced0a87421a6f198b9caf43dc3f exists in filesystem (owned by visual-studio-code-bin-debug) github-desktop-bin-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/04/e9960947a38ced0a87421a6f198b9caf43dc3f.debug exists in filesystem (owned by visual-studio-code-bin-debug) github-desktop-bin-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/37/851ad3790029c78d20ee4b4761055d5ad5dab6 exists in filesystem (owned by visual-studio-code-bin-debug) github-desktop-bin-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/37/851ad3790029c78d20ee4b4761055d5ad5dab6.debug exists in filesystem (owned by visual-studio-code-bin-debug) github-desktop-bin-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/68/3278eba471e7069eeddf5a8270d9a201ea88da exists in filesystem (owned by visual-studio-code-bin-debug) github-desktop-bin-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/68/3278eba471e7069eeddf5a8270d9a201ea88da.debug exists in filesystem (owned by visual-studio-code-bin-debug) Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Any idea what I can do?

#214741 this issue still exists. #15741 this issue still exists on KDE dolphin.

Which means, I cannot open text-file nor directories on KDE plasma. This issue happens for about a week.

I have problem to update visual-studio-code-bin after 1.92.2-3 because I have network issues connecting github.

Failure while downloading https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/vscode/1.92.2/resources/linux/code.desktop Aborting...

Can I skip this file when installing? Any suggestions?

dcelasun commented on 2024-09-02 08:47 (UTC)

@armadillo sorry about that, fixed.

New version 1.92.2-3 gives build errors on my system:

code-workspace.xml is not being referenced correctly

Implemented the desktop and workspace file changes by @marmis. Please report any issues.

ZorinArch commented on 2024-08-28 17:06 (UTC)

@marmis, Thank you.

marmis commented on 2024-08-25 18:52 (UTC)

That should go to your /etc/makepkg.conf. It's only a last resort for a PKGBUILD to do it if e.g. stripping a binary breaks the build.

Oh, okay. Feel free to apply the parts that makes sense to you. That patch also changes _pkg from a variable to a function, which is only useful for applying patches in prepare script. You could also leave that change behind.
