I've been trying to run VSCode over X11 on a Windows 7 machine. I've tested it from Ubuntu to Ubuntu using ssh -Y hostname and it works as expected. However, when I try to run it from my windows machine via PuTTY and Xming, it just fails. No errors given.

I've tried to run it with strace as suggested here... Is it possible to X11 Forward Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu Server 14.04?

And I get this...

sam@ubuntu:/usr/share/code/bin$ strace -e trace=open ./code
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3

open("/proc/meminfo", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gconv/gconv-modules.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("./code", O_RDONLY)                = 3

--- SIGCHLD {si_signo=SIGCHLD, si_code=CLD_EXITED, si_pid=7867, si_status=0, si_utime=12, si_stime=5} ---
+++ exited with 0 +++

Is there anything else I can try???

  • I assume other programs work?

  • Yes. I've tried xclock and lxtask. Both work.

    So I finally got around to trying it. It works for me. I use the VcXsrv X server for Windows and Cygwin SSH though. I suggest you try the X server first, because the publicly available Xming version is terribly outdated.

  • As @daniel-b suggested VcXsrv seems to help: stackoverflow.com/a/40013437/1686377
