VSCode tries to reinstall SSH server on host if client falls asleep

[richiksc]

• VSCode Version: 1.65.0
• Local OS Version: macOS 12.1 Monterey
• Remote OS Version: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
• Remote Extension/Connection Type: SSH
• Logs:

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open VSCode and connect to SSH remote server with this config:

"remote.SSH.useLocalServer": false,
"remote.SSH.remotePlatform": {
    "[hostname]": "linux"
}

2. Put computer to sleep (let screen timeout or close lid or press power button
3. Reopen computer and resume VSCode
4. "Lost connection to host" - Reload window does not work
5. Close remote and try to reconnect to remote from remote explorer
6. VSCode tries to reinstall remote server on host but fails due to files existing and locks - enters infinite loop of terminal crashing and attemptint to reinstall.

Ideal behavior:
VSCode should just reconnect to the currently running host server instance if the client computer falls asleep and resumes.

Workaround:
Use Remote-SSH: Kill VSCode Server On Host after closing remote and before reconnecting.

Could you share with me some Remote SSH logs of when it tries to reinstall the server?

I can provide logs when I return to my university and use remote lab machines. How do I retrieve logs from Remote SSH?

What happens if you try setting remote.SSH.useFlock to true?

Hello, from my understanding this is a duplicate of the issue #5755. I am closing this issue in preference of that one but if I am not understanding correctly and this is different, please re-open and let me know. Thanks!
