I am using CLion in my Windows PC to run and debug code on a Raspberry Pi, using the Remote development option with GDB.
How can I make that remote code on my Raspberry Pi run as root when I debug it?
I assume you are using Full Remote Mode i.e. you created new toolchain with Remote Host option as described here.
There is no way to run GDB with sudo. But you can make CLion ssh into your raspberry with root account. Just change settings in Credentials section. (Also make sure you have SSH root login enabled.)
If you ever need more control over GDB, go with gdbserver.
there is a way, but not recommended, you can log as root in clion.
Enable root login via SSH
edit ssh_config file: vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
add this line PermitRootLogin yes
save the file
restart the ssh server systemctl restart sshd
Set a root password if there isn't one already: sudo passwd root
In Clion configure the Remote Host to login as root (Files->setting->Build, Execution, Deployment->Toolchains->Credentials). Procedure described here.
This worked for me.

Im trying to setup vscode with the remote developement extensions on a second pc. While it works on my main one it doesnt on the second one. Tried reinstalling vscode, extensions and using older versions but nothing works.
When trying to connect it cancels after chosing the os. So I cant even type in the password.
I set it up in the exact same way as with the other pc.
Any ideas?

Depending on the system you are in, when you first try to connect, a vscode-server will be set up and configured on your server.
In linux that can be in /Home/<user>/.vscode-server
If you are on windows, check what that is.
The first solution is to try the extension command: Remote-SSH: kill VS Code Server on Host
Open the command pallet (CTRL + SHIFT + P or COMMAND + SHIFT + P (mac) ).
And type Remote kill :
Then try to connect again! (That will kill the server on the host! Which will make it start again on the next try)
If that doesn't work, and things are still failing:
Delete, rm
Then a good solution that can work is: to connect to your server through terminal (vscode terminal, gnome-terminal, whatever). Then go and remove /Home/<user>/.vscode-server
Try to connect after that. At the attempt the server will be re-installed completely anew, chances are it will work. (I did that and it worked for me, so whatever that was going wrong on the vscode-server: just start all over)
But again: you will lose things, config, meta data, etc. (because you start anew).
Update:
As stated by #natevw in the comments:
I found that removing only the .vscode-server/bin subfolder helped straighten things out and afaict kept my data/settings.
Removing only vscode-server/bin seems to work well, and the config, metadata, etc. remains untouched.
I downgrade Remote-SSH plugin to 0.51.0, rm -rf $HOME/.vscode-server on the remote machine. Connect again, VSCode will download and install a new .vscode-server. Then upgrade Remote-SSH plugin, everything works.
One way worked for me is, by adding this line in the vscode settings (JSON) file.
"remote.SSH.useLocalServer": false
I met the same problem. After I did these steps, it works:
on the remote server:
rm -rf ~/.vscode-server
rm -rf ~/.vscode
On the local VS code:
reinstall remote-ssh
In case all the above fails, here's how I fixed my issue.
First, I was able to SSH into my remote server (Ubuntu 22.04, Raspberry Pi 4, arm64) using a simple bash terminal. So I logged in using my terminal (macOS), and I went to
cd $HOME/.vscode-server/bin/WHATEVER-HASH-YOU-HAVE/
In this directory, there is a file named server.sh. I tried running this script, and I got the following error:
./node: error while loading shared libraries: libatomic.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The issue was clear: there was a missing shared library on my system. Either Node.js now requires that or the new version of the SSH-Remote extension; I don't know. I did not spent the time to dig into those specifics.
But to fix that, I simply did:
sudo apt-get install libatomic1
That installed the missing shared library.
After that, I delete $HOME/.vscode-server:
rm -rf $HOME/.vscode-server
and tried again connecting using VSCode. It worked!
Hope this can help someone like me, for whom all other options failed.
Issue: while trying to ssh connect to Linux(remote machine) using vscode.
Solution: remove/delete the bin folder inside .vscode-server and then reconnect to the remote machine
In remote server:
remote_name:~$ rm -rf ~/.vscode-server/bin
*reconnect to remote machine*
It turns out that my fish was a obstacle for vscode server.
Then I tried
chsh -s /bin/bash
And works fine.
I worked adding \\ in the path of the .config
I share the steps
Go to .config settings
select configuration
add double \\
Just deleted old host information from ssh settings file and problem solved.
I had faced this issue when I tried to connect to a Linux server from a windows laptop.
It was using the wrong fingerprint.
It worked for me after removing the line related to that server from $HOME/.ssh/known_hosts
I ran into the same issue, it got fixed when I updated the path of the IdentityFile from 'ssh_key' to '~/.ssh/ssh_key' (the entire path I mean) so that the VS code could recognize it.
Restart remote machine worked for me (after trying all the previous answers with no luck).
Giving you the oldest trick of the book:
restart
It worked for me and I laughed hysterically for exactly 57 seconds. Happy reconnecting to the server my dear Coder!
I could not connect to the server, my issue was the remote server was full
check with the command df -h if the disk is full !
Here is an alternative for Remote SSH, pls check my answer at: https://stackoverflow.com/a/68046111/13089935
TLDR:
We can use a web-based VS Code that is installed on the server directly.
Is it possible in VSCode to edit files within WSL2 of a remote PC. (This is like a combination of Remote-WSL and Remote-SSH.) I can connect to that remote PC via ssh and RDP.
The path \\wsl$\ does not seem to be available in my remote-ssh connection.
PCA - me, local, VSCode

PCB - remote, WSL2
(I currently have Windows OpenSSH set up on the remote PC, with the default CMD shell. I tried setting the shell to Bash but then the remote extension wouldn't install.)
Update Setting PC-B's ssh server shell to bash.exe does solve all my problems. I'm not sure why it didn't work before. See my answer below for more details.
Answering my own question I was certain I'd tried this before and it had not worked, but now that I try it again it works. Perhaps I just needed a reboot of Windows and WSL2.
Enable Windows SSH server on PC-B and set the shell to be bash.exe
# Powershell as Administrator
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name OpenSSH.Server~~~~0.0.1.0
Set-Service -Name sshd -StartupType 'Automatic'
New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\OpenSSH" -Name DefaultShell -Value "C:\WINDOWS\System32\bash.exe" -PropertyType String -Force
If you want authorized_keys-based login to this PC and your account is an Administrator account, you will need to follow the special instructions here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_keymanagement (I have heard of having to manually fix the administrator_authorized_keys file permission at some point too. https://stackoverflow.com/a/64868357/600360 )
Using Remote-SSH connect VSCode from PC-A to PC-B (using Windows credentials) and tell VSCode that it is a linux server (because you're connecting to bash.exe within WSL2).
If you're behind a proxy server, add the proxy to your ~/.wgetrc.
Voila.
These steps taken from THE EASY WAY how to SSH into Bash and WSL2 on Windows 10 from an external machine where you can find more details.
If you want to connect to remote WSL, you probably should set it up to run own sshd instead of relying on hosting Windows to do the tunneling.
If I have got your problem statement right, the flow seems to be outlined in one of VS Code blog posts. Here I'll mention steps I think you will need to get to your target state.
Firstly, disable sshd on remote Windows so it does not occupy port 22. then, install and start sshd inside PCB:
# from PCB command prompt
# something like that, depending on your choice of distro
sudo apt remove openssh-server && sudo apt install openssh-server
# this would again depend on your chosen distro
sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start # after i do this - windows pops up a firewall prompt to allow me create a rule. you might need to add it manually
then you'd need to either enable password logins via ssh or (preferably) generate a key pair and put your public key into /home/your_name/.ssh/authorized_keys on PCB.
Assuming you have OpenSSH for Windows installed (this seems to be the client Remote SSH relies on), on your PCA follow something like so:
# something along these lines on your PCA
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>ssh-keygen
# note location of .pub file and copy its contents into remote ./ssh/authorized_keys
# add generated private key to ssh-agent service
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Start-Service ssh-agent # if this fails - ensure service is installed and enabled
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> ssh-add path\to\your\private_key # ensure you have dropped all permission except your own user
Watch out for permissions:
ssh keys are considered secret, so neither client nor server would start unless you drop all permissions from your key material. On linux do chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys, and for windows ssh-agent follow instructions from this SE answer.
The above may seem a bit daunting but is in fact very standard SSH setup procedure
easy steps
just update your vscode to the latest version
install Remote Development extension pack
allow WSL2 connection in the settings
if my answer helped you upvoted :D
I know it's been a while since the post, but here is a useful answer that uses Remote -- Tunnels extension.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/75389647
It appears that, for now, you need to manually install the CLI in WSL in order for it to work. The downloads can be found here. Since you are on Windows, I would recommend the x64 CLI download. When you extract the tar.gz file, you will get a file named code. I would recommend moving it to your home directory for ease. To open the tunnel, run ./code tunnel (from wherever you put the code file) to force the new CLI. If you use code tunnel it will still use the Windows version.

I'm trying to get Remote-SSH working with ssh-agent, from Windows 7 desktop to CentOs 7 server.
I'm using ssh, ssh-add and ssh-agent from the Git for windows package. From the cmd prompt, this is all working fine, I can "ssh-add -l" and see the keys, and I can run "ssh " and it runs with no problems and without asking for password:
C:\Users\gnb>"c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh-add.exe" -l
4096 SHA256:zg2IR6OlPwCGP8SzcbriXIQjth5zuDc9rbO6uaNPmcU gnb#VDI028-MEL (RSA)
C:\Users\gnb>ssh vdi ls
Desktop
tsclient
wkspace
C:\Users\gnb>
From within VS-Code, I can't get this to work. Running the exact same ssh-add command from within the VS-Code Terminal does not seem to find the agent:
C:\Users\gnb>"c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh-add.exe" -l
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
The actual remote functionality in VS-Code more or less works, but keeps stopping to ask for passwords.
What's missing here? Why can the vs-code environment not connect to the ssh-agent?
OK, I've had a few more hours playing around with this and I think I understand what's going on.
It only works from cmd if it is the same cmd window that was used to start the agent. Opening a new cmd window then ssh gets the same msg as starting vs-code from the menu - can't find the agent. It appears that the start-ssh-agent script that comes with git/ssh on Win7 is setting some environment variables or some such that the ssh client needs. This does make sense, Unix ssh-agent acts the same way, but I'm clearly not used to thinking about windows apps in those terms.
It also seems the start-ssg-agent script will set the environment variables to point to an existing agent if one is running, else will create a new agent. So a 2 line batch file
start-ssh-agent
code
will reliably start up VS Code with the ssh-agent. If you name the identity file in the ssh config, vs-code will add they key to the agent when required. Otherwise you need to manually add the key to the agent, or fall back to entering the password all the time.
Suspect the better solution is to be on Win10 and use ssh-agent as a service, which should mean VS-code should find the agent when run from a menu. But I can't test that.
I'm exploring the new set extensions called VSCode Remote Pack and I want to connect to a Vagrant container using the Remote Container extension. Using a Windows 10 OS, how could I do that?
I tried the extension but it requests me to have Docker installed, what I suppose from that is that it only works for Docker containers. But I wonder if somebody have already managed to connect to a Vagrant box.
This are the docs from the extension: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers
VS Code Remote containers currently only support Docker (its implementation executes docker commands). Please open a feature request if you would like to see other tools supported.
As an alternative, you could try using Remote SSH to connect to vagrant containers. That should work but will require some extra container setup
Sorry for updating this so late.
The solution was pretty simple, as #MnZrk commented, what it needs to be done for setting up the connection is the following:
Run vagrant ssh-config > some-file.txt. This will generate a file with the configuration to run using SSH. Here an example of that file:
Host default
HostName 127.0.0.1
User vagrant
Port 2222
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
StrictHostKeyChecking no
PasswordAuthentication no
IdentityFile C:/Users/User/project/.vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key
IdentitiesOnly yes
LogLevel FATAL
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
Notice that the host name is default, you could rename it to whatever you want so you could identify it more easily.
Copy the content of some-file.txt inside your SSH configuration file. This file could be edit directly from vscode by pressing F1 and writing Remote-SSH: Open Configuration File..., then you select the file you use for ssh configuration. After that file opens, just copy the content of some-file.txt there.
Finally, just press again F1 and type Remote-SSH: Connect to Host..., choose the connection with the host name default or the want you wrote in the first step, and that's all.
I'm trying to use Eclipse CDT to debug my application. I've got it set to use SSH to connect to the local machine, but the setting for the login shell isn't working. Regardless of what I set the login shell to, it just uses bash and nothing else.
I'm using Eclipse CDT Version: Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a), Build id: 20180405-1200
Here's the settings I have for the Run Configuration. Also see the screenshot.
Configuration type: C/C++ Remote Application
Connection: Localhost (the one described below)
Remote Absolute File Path: /usr/local/bin/myApplication (Eventually I'm going to add something to copy it here even when debugging. That's not important right now.)
Commands to execute before application: ps (To see what shell is really running.)
Here's the settings I have for the connection named "Localhost". Also see the screenshot.
Host: 127.0.0.1
User: the main user I'm logged in to the machine as
Public key-based authentication, no password.
Use login shell: Yes
Login shell command: /bin/csh (I'm not actually interested in csh, it's just a test to verify that this setting has some effect.)
When I run, I get this output:
Last login: Fri May 11 19:22:36 2018 from localhost
ps;/usr/local/bin/myApplication;exit
[dyaw#localhost ~]$ ps;/usr/local/bin/myApplication;exit
PID TTY TIME CMD
35794 pts/7 00:00:00 bash
35844 pts/7 00:00:00 ps
-bash: /usr/local/bin/myApplication: No such file or directory
logout
So, as process 35794 says, it's definitely running bash, not csh, as the shell.
Is there some setting I need to set in order for this setting to take effect? Is there some global Eclipse setting, or perhaps something with my SSH config?
Note: I'm tagging this as both eclipse and eclipse-cdt because I'm using CDT, but I believe the run dialog is the same as in regular Eclipse.
