Couldn't connect (=run installed vscrodium-reh) on aarch64 bionic (android)

[GitMensch]

I'm trying to use a remote-workspace the first time; ssh access does work and there's a .vscodium-server after first connection as remote-workspace.

[Trace  - 10:32:20.302] Server install command stdout:

Note: node can be executed on this machine (installed via pkg install nodejs)

Any idea how to process?

Additional Note: works fine when connecting to debian x86_64.

mmm strange, I assume you have all the required packages, does using the official remote extension works? or maybe could be a vscodium server issue :thinking:

[GitMensch]

I assume you have all the required packages

I don't know, they aren't listed in https://github.com/jeanp413/open-remote-ssh/blob/master/README.md and I've thought that vscodium-reh would either link statically to libraries that are not common on the system or distribute those along.

does using the official remote extension works?

I don't know, I've never used that.

[jeanp413]

Check this table https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/linux#_remote-host-container-wsl-linux-prerequisites

You'll need to install any of these if they are missing libc6 libstdc++6 python-minimal ca-certificates tar

[GitMensch]

Would it be useful to add a link to this table in the README of this extension?`Does it actually apply or isn't this mostly depending on the reh-binaries downloaded which are up to the provider - in our case vscodium? @daiyam Any ideas?

Note that this actually led me to the underlying issue - vscodium-reh for aarch64 is linked with a GNU/Linux toolchain, so expects libc and friends; while many arm based devices use bionic.

@jeanp413 Would it be possible to automatic download a bionic based version of vscodium-reh-bionic (apart from the issue that it doesn't exist yet, we only have linux + darwin for arm, bionic and win32 are missing)? Also: would it be possible to use the local-installed (already "native") node instead of the one that is part of the unpacked vscodium-reh, if yes - how?

@daiyam Do you see an option to get vscodium-reh-bionic-aarch64 and maybe even vscodium-win32-aarch64 to get alive?

[daiyam]

Do you see an option to get vscodium-reh-bionic-aarch64 and maybe even vscodium-win32-aarch64 to get alive?

You can create PRs to do that. But since I can't test them, I won't try.

[GitMensch]

Hm, looks like we do have a GitHub action building windows arm64 already, just the "reh" is missing, but I have no clue where the build definition for this is. If that's easy maybe activate and ask users of vscodium-win32-arm64 to test it?

For aarch64-bionic that's a bit more complicated. It seems that the workflow would best add the NDK then use this to cross-compile. This would be more complicated, but I may give that a try "some day".

[daiyam]

@GitMensch vscode doesn't provide reh-win32-aarch64 (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/5ca7a333e12b313eda4092bf4d1ca60e365ec416/build/gulpfile.reh.js#L39) so it isn't as easy than flipping a switch. It will need active testing.

[GitMensch]

So "ignore" or "create issue in VSCodium, start when users post there they'll test"?

[vinniec]

@GitMensch I'm trying to do the same thing, were you able to establish the ssh connection with termux? If yes, how did you solve the problem?
