This seems to come from the following line of code: As a workaround, I've been able to create and have a functioning setup. This confirms that the requirements are actually met. It seems like the variable only matters for arm64 and aarch64 systems. It would make sense to rewrite the script to only do the check when it is necessary, in order to maximize compatibility. I'm going through the script manually line by line to spot other issues. It's mostly fine on my host.

On some hosts, may also not be present. (Such as Synology NAS, which is perfectly capable of running this software). It is only used to detect nixos and alpine linux. Perhaps this lookup can also be moved to the appropriate places for compatibility. Alternately, can't give this answer? One other thing to note is the the libstdcpp versino detection. It seems to be incorrect. Checks for a specific version 6.0.25, but will throw a warning if a newer version, such as 6.0.31 is reported on the lines above in the variable
I am having the exact same problem. Thanks for raising this, otherwise I would have done the same.

are there steps for this? Seems like the default Alpine image has both getconf and /etc/os-release, so I'm not sure what I should test on.
Issue requires a custom linux variant which I also don't have steps to verify, but the fix was verified in by another user on similar setup.
The insiders build Is is working as expected for me. Tested it on a Synology DS918+, 4.4.302+ SMP Fri Jan 12 17:02:59 CST 2024 x8664 GNU/Linux synologyapollolake_918+
It doesn't work in my case. It keeps asking for what distribution is installed once the VSCode server is installed. ! ! !
/verified
Also not working for me (neither in vscode nor insiders). Only works if I add the file
Can we reopen that?
related to ?
Can confirm the issue with ssh setup, will track it in
