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Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date.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

Updated to 1.26.1, which removes the various glibc workarounds and replaces gtk2 with gtk3.

Thanks for the heads up @orangecake. I will wait another 24 hours before reverting the workarounds and give all mirrors time to catch up, so everyone can update without problems.

glibc 2.28-4 has landed in core. So it seems that all the extra patching logic can be removed. I've been running this without any changes with glibc from testing for quite some days without any issues.

@dogumon, are you using a custom launcher? Because I've added the library override to both the official cli launcher (/usr/bin/code) and the .desktop launcher.

@dcelasun I had to add LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/visual-studio-code/libs to my .desktop file manually (maybe because mine already existed), but otherwise this works fine for me & is much preferable to a manually managed solution. Thank you for updating, glad I could help.
