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 licence 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?

This package depends on the official tarball. Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date. If the new version isn't on that page, this package cannot be updated! If you can see the new version there, but the AUR package is still not updated, flag it and give it time. It's usually done within hours.

  • 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 gnome-session which now includes mimemapps.

  • 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.

No menu reveals when I click the account button to sync and login to my account.

Using version: 1.65.0 b5205cc8eb4fbaa726835538cd82372cc0222d43 x64

EDIT: Solved by installing gnome-keyring libsecret libgnome-keyring

Having an issue where my sign in doesn't seem to persist. I'm finding that I have to constantly sign in again in order to sync my settings upon each start of the app. Any ideas?

EDIT: Now the settings sync is totally gone. Pressing account reveals no menu that would normally have "sign in with microsoft/github", and trying to sync in the settings errors with "no authentication headers".

Any idea why code is complaining about there being a new update when everything is 1.64.2?

fintara commented on 2022-02-16 16:37 (UTC)

Yes, the latest update indeed broke Remote SSH (but somehow I can't connect only to one of two identical remote machines). A fix is to put "remote.SSH.useLocalServer": false in your settings.json for the time being.

Another issue is that when running VSCode from the menu (e.g. KRunner) the Haskell extension complaints with "Project requires GHC but it isn't installed", which does not happen when it's run from the terminal (just code). I can't pinpoint where the issue is, though (the .desktop file? PATH is different? how to check it without running the built-in terminal?)

Somehow picom "window_type = 'popup_menu'" doesn't work on VSCode context menu (right-click menu that contains cut, copy, paste). Anyone know the exact WM_CLASS or WM_NAME of VSCode context menu?

Anyone else having issues SSH (remote) not working anymore?

It seems to happen after latest updates.

Version 1.64.2 constantly uses 30% of CPU. Downgrading to 1.64.1 solves the issue.

Hello, would you like to change the license to 'Microsoft EULA'? Since this isn't a paid for/freemium/commercial, just a proprietary program
