Vscode-remote-release: Raspbian 8 fails to connect due to C++ missing lib, but Debian 8 x86 does not fail and is missing same lib

[Chuxel]

Tried with VS Code Insiders and the nightly and non-nightly SSH extensions. This is similar to #103, but may be a different problem, so logging separately.

Raspbian 8/Jessie is based on Debian 8/Jessie. Debian 8 works well with Remote - SSH. However, trying Raspbian 8, I get the dreaded #103 "Unauthorized Connection Refused" error. After starting server.sh by hand on the Pi, I saw a variation of this error from #103 at startup time, but it’s spdlog failure about CXXABI_1.3.9 rather than Node.js and the server actually does start which obscured it.

The error is accurate, but what is weird is that CXXABI_1.3.9 isn’t available on Deiban 8 either, but everything works. I have no explanation for that part.

Running strings on libstdc++.so.6 on both Debian 8 and Raspbian 8 gives me:

CXXABI_1.3
CXXABI_1.3.1
CXXABI_1.3.2
CXXABI_1.3.3
CXXABI_1.3.4
CXXABI_1.3.5
CXXABI_1.3.6
CXXABI_1.3.7
CXXABI_1.3.8

The machine also meets the minimum requirements for libstdc++ and glibc. Could there be something about the spdlog build for ARM that is causing this like using a more recent version of gcc than the x86 version?

In either event, it would have saved me time if I could have seen this error in VS Code since the server was up and responding. I was assuming it was something with my end or my Pi 3.

[martinbradburn]

So is there no fix for Jessie Raspbian 8?

[Chuxel]

@martinbradburn Jesse doesn't have CXXABI_1.3.9 (Stretch does). So other than manually updating libstdc++ by building it by hand, the distro doesn't have it. The question is why ARM needs it but x86 does not. That requires investigation to understand.

[ghost]

Hi Chuxel,

I am having the same problem! Did you find a solution?

Thanks,
Chris

[beduffy]

I'm having the same problem as well on Raspbian Jessie

[chris400]

Debian 8 / Buster's mainstream support ended 2018, LTS will end in June. My guess: MS won't fix this issue. Resources are rare, so they might be better used elsewhere. I fully understand that.

[crab2313]

Same issue with Centos 7.5

[Chuxel]

Given Jessie is EOL, I'm closing this particuar issue.
