@antoniomquadrosfilho can you try install the rpm again via command line? I find sometimes it doesn't work when updating via the GUI at least.

I have the same issue on Linux Mint debian edition (LMDE 2 Betsy) and deb package
Tried to install with GUI and via command line, no luck.

Now getting same problem on 1.2.0 after uninstalling 1.2.1 and reinstalling 1.2.0

@tadasdanielius can you see if this is happening using the Insiders build? https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders

[tadasdanielius]

Just tried code-insiders_1.3.0-1467004291_amd64.deb
Looks like it's working now. I don't see this error anymore.

[Tyriar]

Since 1.3.0 is shipping in a couple of weeks and it seems fine there I'll resolve this. It's potentially caused by https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/pull/7350

[komasoftware]

still seeing this on 1.14.0 on Ubuntu

Error from the extension host: spawn /usr/share/code/code (deleted)

How can we see the full error ?

[Tyriar]

@komasoftware this might happen when you update VS Code without closing down all windows (ctrl+q) and relaunching.

I had the problem and solved it doing: sudo apt-get install --reinstall code

I have the same problem in Elementary OS, with VS 1.17.1. Some fix? Thanks in advance.

[Tyriar]

This is a common issue on Linux when you upgrade and do not restart the application. The fix is to close all windows (ctrl+q) and relaunch VS Code whenever you see this.
