VS Code is hanging at "Updating dependencies"

[trumhemcut]

Describe the bug
I have installed Kubernetes extension and now want to try to experience local development by installing Local Process with Kubernetes. After installation, open VSCode again, VSCode will hang if open Kubernetes Tab.

To Reproduce

• Install K8S Extension
• Install Local Process with Kubernetes
• Reopen VS Code again & switch to Kubernetes Tab
• Hang there

Expected behavior
Hope to see something working with new extension.

Logs
Attach logs from the following directory:
For Windows: %TEMP%/Local Process with Kubernetes
For OSX/Linux: $TMPDIR/Local Process with Kubernetes

I'm using VS Code remote via SSH to an Ubuntu machine, don't know how to get this log.

Environment Details
Client used (VS Code/Visual Studio):

Client's version:
Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04

Additional context
Add any other outputs from the clients or context you would like to share.

Hi @trumhemcut ,

I'm afraid we don't currently support Linux with the VS Code extension. 😞

As part of running LPK we need to add entries to the host file which requires elevation on the OS. This requires slightly different implementations per Linux distro. It's something that we're working on, but isn't ready yet. We should handle this incompatibility better in the extension, so thank you for letting us know. 👍

Thanks for the update @Gordonby. Hope it will support sometimes then. It's really needed to support on Ubuntu as for now we're working on AI project which mostly using VSCode SSH remote to GPU machine to develop.

Thank you for reporting this issue! From what you mention, it is possible that this issue is not only impacting Linux.
As of today, we integrate with the Kubernetes extension (owner of the Kubernetes tab) through an API they provide.
Because we only complete the API call once we download our required binaries, this could explain why nothing shows in the Kubernetes panel in that case.

We're investigating a potential fix and will reply to this issue.

Hello @trumhemcut,
We just released earlier this week a new version of our extension, now called "Bridge to Kubernetes". As part of the new features, we now support Linux users (preview feature).
However, we don't support SSH remote yet. Is this something important for you and your team?

If you can use a full Linux machine, please feel free to give a try to Bridge to Kubernetes and let us know how it goes. :)

I'm facing same issue. I would like to run on SSH Remote.

[daniv-msft]

Thank you for your feedback @tsubasaxZZZ! Knowing that SSH Remote is important for you helps us prioritize. We are having an item in our backlog for this, and I'll increase it's priority.

While we fix this, would it be possible to use a full Linux machine or another OS (Windows/Mac)?

Same, we work in SSH remote, so this isn't working right now..
