IBM Blockchain Platform Extension is not working on Ubuntu 20.04


I just installed all the dependencies required to use the IBM Blockchain Platform extension on linux-Ubuntu. However, I'm facing some problems when trying to use it, the extension brokes right after I open my vscode.

Further, I've been searching to similiar problems and didn't find anything. As far as I know GLIBC is part of OS core so it's not a good idea do downgrade it to GLIBC 2.29.

I would appreciate your help on this guys, thanks in advance!

Dependencies installed:

Error:

Solution

  • It's probably worth trying VS Code 1.39 as this might get the gRPC rebuild to begin - https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_39

    There is a known issue for some users with VS Code 1.40+ - https://github.com/IBM-Blockchain/blockchain-vscode-extension/issues/1621
