Failed to open VScode within Samba Share


In my Ubuntu system: Linux aldebaran 5.8.0-50-generic #56~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 12 21:46:35 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Normally I go to the directory where the C++ source is located and start VS Code with

user-prompt> code .

On locally stored projects this works fine. But not within a mounted cifs volume from my NAS. I immediately get:

cannot stat path of the current working directory: Permission denied

The directory is perfectly readable or writable by all other commands and bash scripts, but only VS Code has problems.

Starting with "sudo" make no difference. Same error.

Any idea ?


Solution

  • It is probably because you installed a snap version of vscode.

    uninstall vscode with :

    sudo snap remove code
    

    and try installing it with the deb package on https://code.visualstudio.com/ using :

    sudo apt install ./VS_CODE_FILENAME.deb
