open-remote-ssh: RPI 4: Couldn't install vscode server on remote server, install script returned non-zero exit status

Hi all,

For remote coding on my Raspberry Pi4 I’ve used this software for a long time. But I’m getting the error mentioned in the title since setting up my OS again (I don’t know if this could be connected to the issue).

The output of trying to connect to my RPI4 is the following:

`[Info - 19:54:05.215] Resolving ssh remote authority ‘ssh-remote+rpi’ (attemp #1) [Error - 19:54:05.224] Couldn’t get identities from OpenSSH agent Error: SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable not defined at t.gatherIdentityFiles (/home/user/.vscode-oss/extensions/jeanp413.open-remote-ssh-0.0.42-universal/out/extension.js:1:428658) at async /home/user/.vscode-oss/extensions/jeanp413.open-remote-ssh-0.0.42-universal/out/extension.js:1:388901 [Trace - 19:54:05.224] Identity keys: None [Info - 19:54:05.309] Trying no-auth authentication [Info - 19:54:05.315] Trying password authentication [Trace - 19:54:17.821] Server install command:

Does anyone have an idea what the error could be? I’m using Open Remote - SSH v0.0.42 and VsCodium 1.82.2.23257 (currently the newest)

Thank you for every input!

@neychevr that’s a vscodium issue https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/issues/1634, version 1.82 updated nodejs to v18 which requires glibc 2.28 or greater, official MS vscode shipped a custom node build so its not affected, easier workaround for now is downgrade to 1.81

I’m back again after testing different VSCodium releases. Unfortunately, this did not solve my issue. I tried it on my main linux machine and on the windows machine and the error stays the same. I’ve tried 4 different VSCodium versions, the oldest dating back to 1.77.0 which is from April 2023.

I can imagine multiple reasons for that:

  • VSCodium is pulling the new software, despite being on an older version
  • The error is somehow related to the Raspberry Pi
  • There is a problem with a newer version of open-remote-ssh (least plausible)

Will check in the next days if I find out more.

@MystikReasons could you share contents of /home/user/.vscodium-server/.a5004432af6600c99fa4f918a3f2f8df44df71e6.log and then try deleting /home/user/.vscodium-server folder and connecting again
