Visual Studio Code won't launch on virtual machine - visual-studio-code

I installed VSC recently on my VM, but after typing code in the terminal nothing happened. Afterwards typed code --verbose and I saw the following warning:
(code:16063): Gtk-WARNING **: 18:08:46.490: cannot open display:
I have tried both of the following suggestions and neither has worked:
$ export DISPLAY='IP:0.0'
X11Forwarding yes

Fatal: Cannot open file. Error: ppcx64.exe returned an error code

My code and Visual Studio Code's error message:
Why in Visual Studio Code I can't compile Pascal file but it working properly on FPC IDE or Sublime Text 4 with ObjectPascal package?
My file dir:
d:\Programming\Pascal\Learning\Boi_Duong\#9_Buoi9.pas

First, set you default terminal to Command Prompt: Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open Command Palette, find Terminal: Select your default profile. Then choose Command Prompt.
Then, you need to configure your compiling command in settings.json for Code Runner extension. Open settings.json by press Ctrl+ Shift+P and add this setting:
"code-runner.executorMap": {
"pascal": "fpc $fullFileName && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt"
},

Jupyter extension for VSCode on Linux throws error when doing anything Jupyter related

After installing code-oss on Manjaro Linux along with the Jupyter extension for code and jupyter-notebooks itself, the extension seems to error when I try to do anything Jupyter related inside code. If I try to create a new notebook from the command pallete, it pops up a dialog saying this:
Command 'Jupyter: Create New Jupyter Notebook' resulted in an error (command 'jupyter.createnewnotebook' not found)
Code then tells me that the extension activation failed and to open the chrome developer console for more information. This is what the chrome console then says:
extension activation failed Error: Extension 'ms-toolsai.jupyter' CANNOT use API proposal: notebookEditor. Its package.json#enabledApiProposals-property declares: but NOT notebookEditor. The missing proposal MUST be added and you must start in extension development mode or use the following command line switch: --enable-proposed-api ms-toolsai.jupyter
Initial Pop-up error
Chrome Console error
You can solve that problem by inserting"enable-proposed-api": ["ms-toolsai.jupyter"] in the start settings of vs code. So press CTRL+ALT+P -> "Preference: Configure Runtime Arguments" then insert the upper line. After that restart vscode.
Had the same problem and found out this is happening because of the open source version of code - OSS. It does not have the proper config in the product.json.
The accepted solution to add to Runtime Arguments unfortunately didn't work on Arch.
Easiest solution for me was to install code-features from AUR.
You can find more info on arch wiki site
Or directly on microsoft docs regarding oss code issues.
The solution to add "enable-proposed-api": ["ms-toolsai.jupyter"] to the runtime of vscode didn't work for me on Arch linux. But when I started vscode from the command line using the argument "--enable-proposed-api ms-toolsai.jupyter" the problem was solved. So I created a custom desktop launcher for this:
Fist, copy the desktop launcher to your applications folder
$ cp /usr/share/applications/code-oss.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/.
Then edit the new file:
$ nano ~/.local/share/applications/code-oss.desktop
Now add "--enable-proposed-api ms-toolsai.jupyter" to both of the Exec lines like so:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Code - OSS
Comment=Code Editing. Redefined.
GenericName=Text Editor
Exec=/usr/bin/code-oss --enable-proposed-api ms-toolsai.jupyter --unity-launch %F
Icon=com.visualstudio.code.oss
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false
StartupWMClass=Code
Categories=TextEditor;Development;IDE;
MimeType=text/plain;application/x-code-oss-workspace;
Actions=new-empty-window;
Keywords=vscode;
[Desktop Action new-empty-window]
Name=New Empty Window
Exec=/usr/bin/code-oss --enable-proposed-api ms-toolsai.jupyter --new-window %F
Icon=com.visualstudio.code.oss
I restarted my computer and the problem was solved.

Cargo build broke after using VS code

For a while I have been editing my Rust program with Pycharm Professional. However, I was curious and experimented with VS Code. At first my project was compiling and running. However, it suddenly started throwing a pretty wild error on cargo build and cargo run (while cargo check is fine), even in cmd outside of VS Code:
error: linking with `link.exe` failed: exit code: 1104
= note: "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Community\\VC\\Tools\\MSVC\\14.30.30705\\bin\\HostX64\\x64\\link.exe" "/NOLOGO" "C:\\rust\\book\\target\\debug\\deps\\book.1apvyby1qhuehv3.rcgu.o" "C:\\rust\\book\\target\\debug\\deps\\book.1cw7xmk0cjjg5uln.rcgu.o" "C:\\rust\\book\\target\\debug\\deps\\book.1e8ho0j4rykowhcr.rcgu.o" "C:\\rust\\book\\target\\debug\\deps\\book.1g2fbveo2gp7bxds.rcgu.o"
..............
..............
= note: LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'C:\rust\book\target\debug\deps\book.exe'
book is the name of my project.
I am on Windows 10, System Type: x64-based PC.
VS Code version 1.63.2
Sometimes VSCode file watcher watches the files in target/, that is not good.
So open the Settings, search for exclude, and in all "list-like" cofigurations add **/target/**, do a cargo clean and restart VSCode. This should fix this and future problems
Had to remove the directory, and redownload the whole project(used Git).

Flatpak on wayland error "cannot open display: "

Whenever I try to run any Gtk+ Flatpak-ed app on wayland I get error such as:
(porto:3): Gtk-WARNING **: 00:55:13.780: cannot open display: :99.0
(setzer:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 01:01:41.868: cannot open display:
(org.gnome.Maps:2): Gtk-WARNING **: 01:02:18.136: cannot open display:
The problem seems to be that GDK_BACKEND variable is for some reason set to X11. Run following commands to check whether you have the same problem. I'm using gnome maps, but you can use whichever app you like.
flatpak run --command=sh org.gnome.Maps
echo $GDK_BACKEND:$WAYLAND_DISPLAY:$DISPLAY
Your output should be something like wayland-0,x11:wayland-0,:0.0. If it's not you should try experimenting with those variables
export GDK_BACKEND="wayland,x11"
export WAYLAND_DISPLAY="wayland-0"
export DISPLAY="wayland-0"
gnome-maps
Variable changes aren't permanent and are set only until container's shell is closed.
In my case it was a Java app under flatpak refusing to launch with said cannot open display error.
I fixed it by changing "--socket=fallback-x11" to be just "--socket=x11" in the flatpak manifest "finish-args" element.

Eclipse (2018-09) CDT project with Cygwin, can't debug the binary

It seems that everything cygwin-related configured and works fine in my Eclipse project, for example Eclipse is able to invoke 'make' or 'gcc', and can even run the compiled binary and show the output in the Eclipse console window.
However, when I try to debug my binary within Eclipse, I get the following error:
Error in final launch sequence:
Failed to execute MI command:
-exec-run
Error message from debugger back end:
During startup program exited with code 0xc0000135.
Failed to execute MI command:
-exec-run
Error message from debugger back end:
During startup program exited with code 0xc0000135.
During startup program exited with code 0xc0000135.
I do able to launch gdb from my Cygwin console, so it is installed correctly (I assume). But why it fails when I try to use it from Eclipse?
For my case, as you say, it turns out that adding the Cygwin bin folder to the PATH variable solves this problem.
I use Eclipse 2020-06 and Cygwin 64bit on Win7 64bit. And installing Cygwin doesn't change the PATH variable currently.
But it is also confused to me that "build" and "run" work fine in Eclipse whithout the Cygwin bin in PATH.
