Linux users: could you check to make sure the Terminal works? I tested on macOS and didn't see any issues.

The issue with /opt/code-server/lib/vscode/product.json¹ remains. It should have permissions 644 not 600.
ℹ️ Tested with code-server v4.9.0-rc.2 (code-server-4.9.0-rc.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz)

The issue with /opt/code-server/lib/vscode/product.json1 remains. It should have permissions 644 not 600.

Interesting 🤔 I wonder how that happened. I will update in #5772 and then ping you to help test.

[jsjoeio]

This is normally something I'd ping @code-asher for help with but he is out until next week. I think this should do it: fc4d2b5

I ran build:vscode locally and checked permissions with: stat -f%p product.json and got 100755 so I think that should fix it? I'm not certain though.

CI is building and when it's done we'll have the npm artifact.

If you need me to do another release-candidate for testing, let me know.

[jsjoeio]

I guess it's probably best to do a release candidate then others can test too. Plus it tests in the same way (linux-amd package) vs. the npm artifact in CI. I'll do that now.
