Anything else?

This is an error in the remote-ssh log, maybe this is related

Hi, some more info about this: I am using vscode-remote on 3 machines, all with same (old) OS

CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)

On 2 of the machines I can run code command OK. But on the third machine, code command does not work

On the 2 machines where it works OK, I see that it is running an old versison (1.87.2)

> code --version
1.87.2
863d2581ecda6849923a2118d93a088b0745d9d6
x64
> 

So I think this is not a new problem with 1.91, it seems like something has been broken since the release following 1.87.2

The two machine where it works OK, they are still using the old version
On the machine where it doesn't work, I removed entire ~/.vscode-server folder (due to an unrelated issue), and now it cannot install ~/.vscode-server/bin

Does disabling remote.SSH.useExecServer help?

[tim-lucera]

Yes, that fixed the issue.
Thanks!
