Issue Type: Bug
Try to open live share session and get error message
command 'liveshare.start' not found
This has only started happening in the last couple of weeks as I'm a regular long term user of liveshare with all of my team

Thanks for reporting this! This seems like an issue with the Live Share extension not activating properly. Could you open up the VS Code dev tools and see if there are any errors related to Live Share in the console?
Sure can If I clear console then try to open this trace happens nothing else.

Was this issue ever resolved? My co-worker is having a similar issue, I believe.

[2020-09-08 10:55:16.130] [renderer1] [error] ENOENT: no such file or directory, unlink '/Users/insertusername/.vscode/extensions/ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-1.0.2740/cascade.json': Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, unlink '/Users/insertusername/.vscode/extensions/ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-1.0.2740/cascade.json'
He has tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.
Also having this issue, and I suspect it's potentially an issue with the corporate proxy
That doesn't seem to be our problem as he isn't using the company proxy or VPN
I'm having the identical issue, "Agent terminated with exit code: 0 and signal null: A fatal error occurred. The required library libhostfxr.dylib could not be found." in the LiveShare logs, on High Sierra 10.13.6 (which I believe is in the supported category.) Does anyone have leads on why this may be happening? I believe it's an incorrect version of .net problem: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/2958, might be relevant here.
...ok so I had everything working perfectly then for having used the wrong github account I revoked liveshare oauth app and now it does this
Error: Agent terminated with exit code: 0 and signal null: A fatal error occurred. The required library libhostfxr.dylib could not be found.
and does not ask for the authorization again.
hope it helps

The following steps worked for me, after upgrading from an x86 build of vscode-insiders to Darwin arm64 (version 1.53.0-insider) I got the error described above.
- Remove the folder: /Users/[your-user]/.vscode/extensions/ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-[version]
- Disable the extension, VSCode will reload. If it doesn't, reload it manually from the command palette (Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-P, Developer: Reload Window)
- The Live Share extension should no longer appear in your list of extensions.
- Re-install Live Share from the Marketplace.
I think the issue may stem from the fact that certain architecture-specific definitions or other files are not removed during an uninstall/reinstall process. Removing this folder clears them.
It seems that even I am facing this issue, while today I was testing out the extension before starting a collaborative session with my mate on clicking the live Share button I see an alert popping up saying that "Command 'Live Share: Start Collaboration Session (Share)' resulted in an error (command 'liveshare.start' not found)" Please resolve this issue as soon as possible so that we can use this extension.
I am having the same issue... Command 'Live Share: Start Collaboration Session (Share)' resulted in an error (command 'liveshare.start' not found)
Please resolve it asap.
Getting the same error (Ubuntu 20.04). The Developer Tools showed an error for live share, something like that it can't find Asp.Net 3.1.14, while 3.1.16 is installed:
$ dotnet --list-runtimes 
Microsoft.AspNetCore.All 2.1.28 [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.All]
Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 2.1.28 [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 3.1.16 [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.AspNetCore.App 5.0.7 [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.AspNetCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 2.1.28 [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 3.1.16 [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]
Microsoft.NETCore.App 5.0.7 [/usr/share/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]
I was able to get things working again by uninstalling the LiveShare extension and installing it again.
I removed the folder ~/.vscode/extensions/ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-1.0.4531 and re-installed, still doesn't work.
I had the same problem. I think there is a problem with VSC. I installed VSC and live share from a year ago and it works fine.
Also having similar issues with being unable to start or join a live share. System Specs and Versions:
Mac OS 11.4 (Big Sur)
Apple M1
Liveshare version: ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-1.0.4650
VSCode version: 1.59
Error: (parallel error for liveshare.join)
Command 'Live Share: Start Collaboration Session (Share)' resulted in an error (command 'liveshare.start' not found)

Command Live Share: Repair Installation worked for me.
I hope it helps.
Thank you @kiso-kiso! Your solution fixed this issue for me.
Thank you @kiso-kiso!
Live Share: Repair Installation does not fix the issue for me when I am attempting to start a live share from within a devcontainer on an M1 Mac. Seems to work outside of the devcontainer.
repairing also did not work for me
Thanks @kiso-kiso, Repair Installation works for me.
Same problem on kali-linux, above solutions doesn't work. Please resolve it it soon.
Thanks @kiso-kiso, Repair Installation works for me.
I ended up uninstalling/reinstalling VS Code as described in these instructions from Stack Overflow. It was very annoying to have to re-install my plugins, but the benefit outweighed the cost.
Installing Rosetta 2 fixed this for me.
I tried to repair installation but didn't works. Now the last thing that remains to do is uninstall all VSC insiders and reinstall it Edit: I tried to uninstall but the problem persists, until now i was working without any problems
I'm using Artix Linux and problem persists even if I completely re-install VSCode or try repairing. I get the error in the screenshot when I try running from Command Palette. My friend uses EndeavourOS and has the same issue too.

Edit: This should be a new issue because it was working before updating my system fully 1-2 months ago.

Have you tried to get a previous version and use that?

I didn't but I'll try it tomorrow. Can you guide me how can I install an older version of it?
