Core dump: Windows 10 machine running Xming as an X server

[jakeoshins]

When I try to start code in Ubuntu 14.04, using my local Windows 10 machine running Xming as an X server, code crashes before I even see a window.

I honestly don't know if we support this setup.

[gmalenko]

Any updates regarding this? Got this error too today trying the same setup (using ubuntu 16.04). I happened to stumble across this in a google search for a solution.

[bpasero]

Can you try to reproduce with our nightly insider builds? You can give our preview releases a try from: http://code.visualstudio.com/Download#insiders

[gmalenko]

Hey bpasero, I downloaded the tar.gz inside file (code-insider-1.6.0-1475776934_amd64.tar.gz). I extracted it and ran "./code-insiders"

I got

gmalenko@ubuntu:~/VSCode-linux-x64$ ./code-insiders
bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device

I'm going to do the deb file and see how it goes

Installed deb file. Run "code-insiders" from the command prompt and nothing really happens. It appears that a process does start

gmalenko@ubuntu:~/VSCode-linux-x64$ ps -aux | grep code

gmalenko 24265 0.0 0.0 14224 932 pts/0 S+ 14:46 0:00 grep --color=auto code

I'm sure if I booted into Ubuntu it would work fine on that machine. Is there a reason why it doesnt work using putty and xming? Other apps such as firefox will work fine. Should I just make this a new issue?

Same here, currently nothing happens :

$ ./code &

ubuntu 16.04 gest (vagrant) / windows 10 host

[cashlalala]

I encountered the same issue. Simply extracted the code-stable-code_1.6.1-1476373175_amd64.tar.gz & call ./code, then got the same error.

The same issue. I downloaded the tar.gz and then:

@b1es @PunchyRascal Got the same issue, but it is not related to vscode, I got the same one with atom. I assume than you are not using a windows 10 insider build, but win10 anniversary update as I do. This is due to shutdown not being implemented for sockets. Though it is already fixed for insider builds: microsoft/WSL#758

[PunchyRascal]

Yes, like you say. But I reverted to using samba-connected linux share on windows, which is rather slow, but otherwise it has pretty much the best native feel anyway.

[mindis]

same issue here

[olikasg]

I ran into the same problem with Win7 and Xming. Later I tried to VcXsrv and it worked with that.
