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Please check this page before flagging as out-of-date.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

ENOSPC means that there is no space on the drive. You can try this http://stackoverflow.com/a/32600959 if you have enough space

felixsanz commented on 2016-01-10 21:13 (UTC)

they are the same? because i can't install extensions on visual-studio-code-oss. the menu "install extensions" doesn't appear. which is weird because both are 0.10.6-1. Why is that?

Zrax commented on 2016-01-10 18:28 (UTC)

This package is the official binary release from Microsoft, whereas visual-studio-code-oss is the OSS version built from source.

felixsanz commented on 2016-01-10 16:47 (UTC)

Whats the difference from this and visual-studio-code-oss? (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/visual-studio-code-oss/)

dcelasun commented on 2015-12-14 13:37 (UTC)

That's the official file distributed by Microsoft.

dlin commented on 2015-12-14 13:05 (UTC)

Why the source comes from az764295.vo.msecnd.net as binary? Is it the binary file which someone build it?

The Open in Terminal menu item doesn't work in Plasma 5 unless you first run: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/konsole /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator I'll report this upstream but just incase anyone wants this to work in the meantime.

soren121 commented on 2015-11-29 06:55 (UTC)

@Lexias: Report it upstream at https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues. They're quite responsive there.

Lexias commented on 2015-11-28 09:06 (UTC)

X11 crashes for me when I try to select a folder (which is a git repository, if that matters), anyone experiencing the same thing?
