vscodium: Cannot install version 1.81 on RHEL 7.9 (or Ubuntu 18)

VSCodium 1.86.2.24053 should fix the issue.

The 1.86.2.24047-insider does works on centos7 when switching to the unofficial nodejs. The next version will test node-v16

That sounds good. Note that If that is done, then we should patch the new file resources/server/bin/helpers/check-requirements-linux.sh. This new script will definitely help in general.

I will look into it.

@GitMensch no I’ve removed it

The latest https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium-insiders/releases/tag/1.86.2.24048-insider does work on centos7 (only REH)

I’m looking into building node-v18 with glibc-2.17 for platforms other than x64.

Sadly, I’ve just tested in a VM, I’m getting errors from dependencies:

• Error: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9’ not found
• Error: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.22’ not found

I will have to refine more…

Sounds cool, do you have any examples of apt/yum/dnf compatible Github releases? I think it’s not possible without nested dirs.

Another issue is throttling - for anonymous Github will show “Whoa there! You have triggered an abuse detection mechanism.” very fast.

Here’s the flatpak instructions to downgrade to 1.77:

$ sudo apt purge codium
...
$ rm -rf ~/.config/VSCodium

…and then search and use the commit for 1.77:

$ flatpak remote-info --log flathub com.vscodium.codium | grep -B1 -A1 "1\.77"

flatpak requires you install first, and then “upgrade” to that previous specific version (commit)…

$ flatpak install codium
$ flatpak upgrade --commit=a211d057d4e557d3330e442be3a02f55221bf9dea3340f0266d9cc9ba6ab4c19 com.vscodium.codium

Could we get @paulcarroty to update the aptitude repo (Ubuntu) to include previous versions? I do not have a gitlab account to login and make the comment. VSCodium Ubuntu installation repo is published over there:

https://gitlab.com/paulcarroty/vscodium-deb-rpm-repo

Seems the current launchpad only lists the latest version, and no previous versions to install (which would have made it super easy to downgrade).

$ sudo apt policy codium
codium:
  Installed: (none)

  Version table:
     1.85.1.23348 500
        500 https://download.vscodium.com/debs vscodium/main amd64 Packages

If we could get him to re-publish 1.77, then the user would only need to do:

$ sudo apt install codium=1.77

Most other packages include previous versions:
