VSCode Insiders Remote SSH stopped working – CentOS

I’m using Visual Studio Code Insiders version 1.65.0-insider. Until 3 days ago, I was not having any problem connecting to the remote server at work from my work laptop through a VPN. I have my ssh config file and when I opened vscode (when connected to the VPN), I was asked for my password and it connected without problems.

However, from yesterday I have started getting an error stating Could not establish connection to idk4v: The VS Code Server failed to start. idk4v is the remote machine’s name that I gave in my ssh config file. I also get Waiting for server log… in the output continuously. I am pasting the output here from trying out just now. I have removed the non-essential parts for brevity:

I tried this solution, where I both killed and uninstalled the VS Code Server on the host, deleted the ~/.vscode-server-insiders directory on the remote server, restarted VS Code, and tried to reconnect to the server. But I got the same error. I couldn’t find any other solution. Any help is appreciated.

    This is very much a hack and absolutely not a long term solution but as a quick work around.

    Find the server.sh path in the log you posted, open it in an editor, and add --accept-server-license-terms to the last line so it looks something like "$ROOT/node" ${INSPECT:-} "$ROOT/out/server-main.js" --compatibility=1.63 --accept-server-license-terms "$@". This will accept the terms automatically until this gets patched by MS.

    You could try installing this package on the server!

    sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:amd64

    or adding the path of the library
    If the libstdc++.so.6 library is in the location /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6, you can add the following line to the end of the .bashrc file in your home directory

    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i386-linux gnu:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    To edit the .bashrc file, you can run the following command in the terminal:

    nano ~/.bashrc

    Then, to apply the changes, you can run the following command:

    source ~/.bashrc

    Then,

    I resolved it in the following steps.

    **

    1. Access remote server.
    2. Remove or rename /home/{username}/.vscode-server/bin.
    3. Update Remote-SSH Extensión ( v0.101.2023032915 ) and reload
      Visual Studio Code
    4. Try SSH-Remote
      **
