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Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date.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

@elduderino @bigbrozer Thanks a lot!

bigbrozer commented on 2024-02-12 18:24 (UTC)

@elduderino, thanks for the notice ! I do not need this for most of the packages I install so I decided to disable debug adding again !debug to OPTIONS in /etc/makepkg.conf:

OPTIONS=(strip docs !libtool !staticlibs emptydirs zipman purge !debug lto)

I got the previous results (without the *-debug package and messages from debugedit). In case if others are interested...

elduderino commented on 2024-02-10 19:00 (UTC) (edited on 2024-02-10 19:04 (UTC) by elduderino)

@bigbrozer that's because in latest pacman update they decided to enable debug option by default inside /etc/makepkg.conf

bigbrozer commented on 2024-02-10 17:03 (UTC)

Similar to @Paeonia. Note that it also try to install a new package visual-studio-code-bin-debug aside of this one.

Paeonia commented on 2024-02-09 14:50 (UTC) (edited on 2024-02-09 14:53 (UTC) by Paeonia)

The following lines are reported when I install it via paru.

visual-studio-code-bin version = 1.86.1-1

Is there anything I need to pay attention to?

Currently seeing the following when building the package:

objcopy: ./opt/visual-studio-code/resources/app/node_modules.asar.unpacked/node-vsce-sign/bin/vsce-sign: debuglink section already exists /usr/share/makepkg/tidy/strip.sh: line 48: debugedit: command not found

with the second line repeated a number of times.

@Raadush This package takes the official binary from Microsoft. You should be reporting it to the upstream.

Raadush commented on 2024-01-15 08:42 (UTC)

I dont know if anyone noticed or if it is my problem, but since last update I am experiencing pretty high memory consumption. It was definitely not the case in previous versions. My idle system runs on around 2.5GB ram, I open vs code, it goes to 3.5GB, connect to docker image through docker extension (4,9GB), run npm application (5,7GB), open that application in chrome (6.8GB) and then when I develop it goes up and up until at 12GB system starts to become unstable and I need to close code and start over.

Also having the same issue as 99linesofcode (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/visual-studio-code-bin#comment-942412)

/opt/visual-studio-code/chrome-sandbox has 0755 perms but requires 4755 perms or vscode silently fails to open. AFAIK this only affects those with the kernel flag unprivileged_userns_clone = 0 set for security hardening, but can be remediated by the correct file permissions set.

Ofc, until this is fixed in packaging/upstream, updates will overwrite chrome-sandbox and reset its perms. In the interim, the following, placed in /etc/pacman.d/hooks/, offers a workaround:

# /etc/pacman.d/hooks/60-visual-studio-code-bin.hook

[Trigger]
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Path
Target = opt/visual-studio-code/chrome-sandbox

[Action]
Description = "Fixing file permissions on /opt/visual-studio-code/chrome-sandbox"
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/chmod 4755 /opt/visual-studio-code/chrome-sandbox

NB, the lack of / before opt in Target = isn't a typo.
