cpp extension installs but throws an error

[lazerlabs]

I have code-server running on a vps with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

This is the error that appears:
/home/spider/.local/share/code-server/extensions/ms-vscode.cpptools-1.1.2/bin/cpptools: 7: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

I also tried to downgrade to extension version 1.1.1, same result (and same error).

I recommend you refer to this. #2120 A rather temporary fix is to manually download the "cpptools-linux.vsix" from the cpptools releases page and install it from there.

Closing as a duplicate of #2120.
