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Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date.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

It also conflicts with (at least) both teams-for-linux and teams-for-linux-bin, for the exact same directories.

This package somehow conflicts with zulip-desktop-bin:

wl-clipboard work on this package 1.89.0 version. However, subsequent updates seem to break this feature. I'm currently at 1.89.1,Currently affected by this feature.

isn't patching $pkgdir/opt/visual-studio-code/resources/app/package.json using jq, changing the value of desktopName to "code.desktop", a better option?

andsmir commented on 2024-05-12 09:28 (UTC)

I had same bug in X11 for years :) OK, never mind, I'll fix it in local env and the problem can be googled pretty easily. Thank you!

dcelasun commented on 2024-05-12 08:59 (UTC)

Setting WMClass to code-url-handler in the regular desktop file feels inherently wrong. I don't use any sort of dock, so I can't investigate it myself. Does your suggestion work as expected both in X11 and Wayland? I don't want to make a change that breaks X11.

andsmir commented on 2024-05-12 08:41 (UTC)

@dcelasun No, sorry, this variant doesn't work. Still 2 icons in Dash (one for running, one for pinned). By the way, there is upstream issue about it: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/129953

dcelasun commented on 2024-05-12 05:02 (UTC)

@andsmir please try again with the latest version.
