VSC Remote SSH - How to fix reconnection problems?


When using VSC Remote SSH, I am constantly getting the error "Cannot reconnect. Please reload the window.". Upon clicking "Reload Window", the window reloads and I receive the same error.

Sometimes I am also getting the following notification: "The terminal process failed to launch: A native exception occurred during launch (forkpty(3) failed)."

More errors showing here: screenshot

I tried to find the solution but nothing worked for me, any suggestions? I tried:

Update 17-01: Today it worked fine for around 2 hours. It randomly stopped working while I was typing a few lines of code without doing something else like saving, adding or delete files. The message is still te same and did not found any solution yet.


Solution

  • The latest update 1.82 borked this too. Uninstalling WSL extension fixed it and restart vscode. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/192646
