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Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date.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.

@loodoons sorry, no idea. You might try asking on Github.

@dcelasun You're right. It was a GPU issue. Your answer fixed my problem.

Do you know why I've got this issue?
I've installed all the intel graphic drivers.

dcelasun commented on 2018-09-12 05:42 (UTC)

@loodoons, I can't reproduce the problem. The cli and .desktop launchers are meant to be separate, there have been many problems in the past when using the same one for both cases.

The issue you are seeing sounds like a gpu problem. Can you try replacing:

Exec=/opt/visual-studio-code/code %f

with

Exec=/opt/visual-studio-code/code --disable-gpu %f

and see if that fixes it?

gquittet commented on 2018-09-11 20:07 (UTC) (edited on 2018-09-11 20:50 (UTC) by gquittet)

I found a bug that is annoying. When you drag and drop inside the user
interface, Code freeze. There's nothing in the log. This bug only occur when you launch the software with the .desktop file.
So I found a fix.

Just edit this file /usr/share/applications/visual-studio-code.desktop and replace this line

Exec=/opt/visual-studio-code/code %f

with

Exec=/opt/visual-studio-code/bin/code %f

I think there's missing many env var when you launch Code from /opt/visual-studio-code. Can you apply the fix in the package?

Thank you very much,
Guillaume Quittet

The Conflicts package should be changed to 'code'?

dcelasun commented on 2018-09-07 05:44 (UTC)

@Visione sure, will do so at the next version.

dogumon commented on 2018-09-07 05:09 (UTC)

1.27.1 is out now

@dcelasun great work, thanks!

Have you thought about including libdbusmenu-glib as an optional dependency? It allows vs code to pass the menu through DBus, makes KDE global menu work.

@adlerdias: Seems to be a Windows-only bug as stated here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/58032#issuecomment-419013555

Nevertheless 1.27.1 is expected to be released pretty soon.

adlerdias commented on 2018-09-06 13:23 (UTC)

The package has been marked as outdated, but the maintainer must wait until 1.27.1 because of the bug:
