Just install icu69 and it'll work

yay -S icu69

jvesouza · 2022-05-03T09:56:09Z

Another solution I found on the internet that worked for me was to install the icu69 package.

yay -Sicu69

adocampo · 2022-05-10T15:38:18Z

Another solution I found on the internet that worked for me was to install the icu69 package.

yay -S icu69

That worked here, thank you @jvesouza

I don't know why stopped working since last time I used, months ago, and it seems if we don't want to install that package, we should be able to do it by setting System.Globalization.Invariant to true, but as I don't know where to set that, I had to install icu69 package.

alyssajotice · 2022-05-10T16:44:05Z

Hi all, I updated the install script to include icu69 for Arch Linux. This should fix the issue. Thanks for the contributions!

Here is a link to the command and script: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/liveshare/reference/linux#install-linux-prerequisites.

exxnnonymous · 2022-05-28T09:28:53Z

This worked for me >
yay -S icu69-bin

Chadyka · 2022-06-10T09:38:15Z

error: target not found: icu69

is still happening when I try the prerequisite installation (after installing it from AUR with yay) but

Open VSCode, press Ctrl+Shift+P, and type "Live Share: Repair Installation".

fixes the plugin and it seems usable so far

davidpacios · 2022-06-10T17:13:59Z

i can install yay -S icu69, but when i use the script i keep having the same error:

Also i tryed to use Open VSCode, press Ctrl+Shift+P, and type "Live Share: Repair Installation" and it says : no found command and also on extensions dont have anyone of microsft

davidpacios · 2022-06-10T17:17:58Z

I just solve the problem with yay -S visual-studio-code-bin. Important take this option: "visual-studio-code-bin".

Thank u all

Was having the same issues today - I know this is closed, but still having an issue with this.

Local system: mac

Remote system: arch
Not able to start live share on the remote-ssh system.

I think the live server extension needs to check if icu69 is installed and if not have a verbose alert about the missing dep.

Also since icu69 is an AUR package it takes a few extra steps to install.

My solution:

Since the remote system was a tmp system I also needed to set up a user account.

pacman -Sy 
pacman -S git base-devel --noconfirm

set wheel group to sudo with no password

sed -i 's~# %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL~%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL~' /etc/sudoers

setup a user

useradd -m trizen -G wheel

Install trizen

su - trizen 
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/trizen.git
cd trizen
makepkg -si

Install icu69 so vscode - live share works.

trizen -S icu69-bin --noconfirm

remove trizen user

userdel -r trizen

Reset sudoers file

sed -i 's~%wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL~# %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL~' /etc/sudoers

From here close the remote session vs-code window and reconnect to it and start a live share, live share should ask for you to login.
