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 Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date.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

@daveshaheen: Thank you for your trick!

Another option instead of modifying /etc/makepkg.conf is to create a ~/.curlrc file with the line --http1.1

It fails when it tries to download v 1.28.0 from https://vscode-update.azurewebsites.net/1.28.0/linux-x64/stable (I'm using pacaur)

However, I could manually download the tar.gz from the above link, insert it on the pacaur cache folder, and the installation was successfully.

@tavuntu, It's the lines starting with http::/usr/bin/curl and https::/usr/bin/curl in the DLAGENTS array in /etc/makepkg.conf.

tavuntu commented on 2018-10-11 03:16 (UTC)

@dcelasun which line do I add that flag in?

dcelasun commented on 2018-10-09 06:57 (UTC)

@Chipsterjulien as a temporary workaround, you can edit DLAGENTS in /etc/makepkg.conf and add --http1.1 to the curl command.

@ghotrix, that's a network on your end. I can download the tarball just fine.

OpenSSL SSL_connect: SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL in connection to z764295.vo.msecnd.net:443 while trying to install. Does anyone also experienced such an error?
