Does this issue happen in VS Code?

I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

I am using HTTPS.

Notes

I tried to reinstall code-server, and even I ran the docker version from linuxservers with the same results. It's weird because 2 days ago it was working, and I didn't update anything on that server.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

jsjoeio · 2022-05-23T18:39:46Z

Do you have bash installed?

I've seen this happen when I don't have zsh installed. You can also change the default shell in the VS Code Settings UI. I would try that.

exosiscrypto · 2022-05-29T06:59:12Z

I confirm this issue, after updating to 4.4.0 terminal is not working

It was working before update, but yup i have bash installed.

jsjoeio · 2022-05-31T14:08:08Z

Can you share the logs for the browser and the server? I'm not sure what could be going on here.

I have the same issue after updating to 4.4.0. I used the docker image on an arm64 machine.

Steveorevo · 2022-06-12T17:53:18Z

New installation 4.4.0, Ubuntu 20.04 on arm64,

"The terminal process failed to launch: A native exception occurred during launch (forkpty(3) failed.)."

[IPC Library: Pty Host] WARN Shell integration cannot be enabled for executable "/bin/bash" and args []

It appears that my issue appears with code-server is run from a chroot/jailkit account. Seems to work fine on a regular user; non-root account on Ubuntu. Wondering if it's a missing dependency issue of something simply not copied over to the jailed account.

@code-asher any ideas?

Steveorevo · 2022-06-14T00:09:14Z

I found out that you can mount your /dev and /dev/pts folders to your jailkit account and it works. I.e.

mount -o bind /dev /[your jailkit root]/dev
mount -t devpts devpts /[your jailkit root]/dev/pts

However, this mounts everything in your root /dev to the jailkit and may defeat the purpose of jailkit altogether; to provide isolation. Other forums have indicated that /dev/pts is the only device necessary and doesn't pose a "big risk" as each device has it's own owner/group; but I couldn't get it to work with just that. I'm wondering what else is actually needed and is a dependency? I don't want to give full access to items like /dev/mem (memory) to a jailkit'd user.

code-asher · 2022-06-14T18:39:26Z

Does anything in this issue help? microsoft/vscode-remote-release#4233

At first glance seems like /dev/ptmx and /dev/pts should do it.

bcotton · 2022-06-29T20:00:31Z

Can confirm. Running code-server on OSX, with a vanilla docker-code-server, running on Docker locally.

No terminal start, nothing in any of the logs that I could find.

Downgrading to 4.3.0 seems to fix it

jsjoeio · 2022-06-29T20:07:31Z

@bcotton nothing in the browser logs either? I'm on OSX and have 4.4.0 running locally (not in Docker) and the terminal works

bcotton · 2022-06-29T22:08:34Z

@bcotton nothing in the browser logs either?

Nope, I checked the "window" logs. Tailed all logs in the running image, in addition to the output of coder command line.

is there somewhere else to check?

jsjoeio · 2022-06-30T17:15:15Z

If you open up code-server in a browser like Chrome, then View > Developer > Developer Tools and look in the Console tab there might be something helpful

jsjoeio · 2022-06-30T17:15:44Z

in addition to the output of coder command line

wait are you using code-server or coder?

bcotton · 2022-06-30T18:21:29Z

wait are you using code-server or coder?

I'm using coder to start code-server in a docker container.

jsjoeio · 2022-06-30T18:37:47Z

@bcotton oh! thanks for clarifying. That sounds specific to coder then. Do you mind opening an issue there with steps to reproduce it? Sorry for the confusion!

lenosi · 2022-07-15T14:33:56Z

@jsjoeio I had the same issue today after upgrade code-server from 4.4.0 to 4.5.0 and I don't use 'coder'.

The background steps for the upgrade:

Using code-server 4.40 ssh forward with chrome + safari on client side
Install script upgrade failed on rpm
Manually run rpm -U --replacefiles --replacepkgs ~/.cache/code-server/code-server-4.5.0-amd64.rpm
Restart service

I could open more terminals, but I didn't see the content and titles of the terminals and otherwise exactly as the description/screenshot.

Likewise, I think it was caused by browser some cache or cookies. Because after I returned from a few local errands, the problem magically resolved itself. I had problem on client node with Safari and Chrome, server side RHEL 8.6, logs from the systemd coda-server service are clean, and I can't give you any more information backwards from the browsers, unfortunately.

consideRatio · 2022-07-18T19:58:20Z

Using code-server 4.5.0, as started directly via code-server, the following occurs when I use ctrl+shift+p and then run the command to create a new terminal.

code-server 4.4.0 worked fine without this issue. Note that in case its relevant, using 4.4.0 instead of 4.5.0 also avoided issue #5343 which I also ran into using 4.5.0.

I've installed code-server in a docker image defined here: https://github.com/pangeo-data/jupyter-earth/blob/master/hub.jupytearth.org-image/Dockerfile. It is based on ubuntu:22.04.

jsjoeio · 2022-07-18T22:18:31Z

I believe this might be a duplicate of #5321

If someone wants to check, here is the PR which fixed it: #5332

consideRatio · 2022-07-18T22:26:14Z

@jsjoeio for me, the base path was not /, so any fix related to that seems to be relevant!

jsjoeio · 2022-07-18T22:28:05Z

I hope we're right then 🤞🏼 Hoping to get 4.5.1 out soon. Sorry for all the trouble!

consideRatio · 2022-07-18T22:30:07Z

@jsjoeio do you think the regression about syntax highlighting (#5343) was resolved by #5332 as well? I could not find a clear error message or similar, but only conclude it didn't properly syntax-highlight as before in for example a .py file.

jsjoeio · 2022-07-18T22:34:58Z

@consideRatio I would bet so! CI just finished and now i'm testing 4.5.1 (what we'll publish) locally. I'll run it behind Caddy and check syntax highlighting now. Thanks for mentioning it!

jsjoeio · 2022-07-18T22:38:43Z

Everything appears to be working for me!

moqsien · 2022-10-06T12:54:16Z

The same bug occurs on FreeBSD.
Maybe due to that the '@parcel/watcher' package does not support FreeBSD.

jsjoeio · 2022-10-06T15:00:08Z

Maybe due to that the '@parcel/watcher' package does not support FreeBSD.

Hmm...any ideas for ways we can fix that? Would it be worth raising upstream?

filipton · 2022-10-06T15:02:37Z

My problem was in configuration of flags in chrome, so i think that wasn't code-server bug.

jsjoeio · 2022-10-06T15:04:44Z

That's helpful! Do you remember which flag it was?

filipton · 2022-10-06T15:08:42Z

That's helpful! Do you remember which flag it was?

If I remember correctly, something with canvas. I can check that in about 3 hours.

@parcel/watcher

I have no idea how to fix it by now. Maybe raising upstream is viable.
Otherwise, just disable the terminal on FreeBSD, or else it may lead to high CPU usage.

jsjoeio · 2022-10-07T16:50:39Z

@moqsien do you mind opening an issue upstream and linking here?

rob4226 · 2022-10-23T00:53:15Z

I'm having same issue on FreeBSD. Terminal does not work. Some languages, like Python, there is no syntax highlighting but JavaScript is highlighted correctly. The errors from the code-server server on FreeBSD 13.1 and code-server v4.7.1 look like:

[20:42:29] ptyHost was unable to resolve shell environment Error: Unable to resolve your shell environment: Unexpected exit code from spawned shell (code 1, signal null)
...
[20:45:18] [Unknown channel: Channel name 'ptyHost' timed out after 1000ms]
rejected promise not handled within 1 second: Unknown channel: Channel name 'ptyHost' timed out after 1000ms

Also, when installed on FreeBSD via npm, I keep getting missing module errors after starting code-server. I had to keep killing/restarting to install the packages it was asking for until I stopped getting those errors. I ended having to manually install: npm i yazl yauzl @microsoft/1ds-core-js vscode-regexpp xterm-headless vscode-proxy-agent

jiegec · 2023-01-13T08:20:58Z

I got watcher working by installing watchman(!) and using @parcel/watcher from pr parcel-bundler/watcher#128 .

Steps:

Install code-server
Install dependencies: sudo npm i -g yazl yauzl @microsoft/1ds-core-js vscode-regexpp xterm-headless vscode-proxy-agent --unsafe-perm
Link ripgrep: sudo pkg install ripgrep && cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep/bin && ln -s /usr/local/bin/rg
Install @parcel/watcher from pr Add FreeBSD support parcel-bundler/watcher#128: cd watcher && npm install && sudo cp build/Release/watcher.node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@parcel/watcher/build/Release/
Workaround Platform not supported by editing: sudo vim /usr/local/lib/node_modules/code-server/lib/vscode/out/vs/platform/terminal/node/ptyHostMain.js, pretending freebsd as linux
Use workaround in [Bug]: terminal won't open/display - logs attached #5760:

sudo pkg install libsecret pkgconf
cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/code-server
sudo npm install --unsafe-perm
# go back to @parcel/watcher
cd watcher
sudo cp build/Release/watcher.node /usr/local/lib/node_modules/code-server/lib/vscode/node_modules/@parcel/watcher/build/Release

Eventually got terminal, searching, watchers working.

Closing since it looks like the original issue was resolved? Check #5741 for the FreeBSD issue, although not sure there is anything actionable on our end.
