Vscode cannot connect with the WSL:Ubuntu-22.04 #11155
Description
I have tried the solution that i can search in those issues and in the internet, but they all cannot help me solve this problem.
I can make sure that .vscode-server exists, because when i input ls -a ~ | grep vscode in the Ubuntu terminal, it's printed below.So what puzzles me is that when I input "code ." in the Ubuntu terminal to connect WSL2 with my vscode, a pop-up window immediately appeares here, showing the error that
Vscode Server for WSL closed unexpectedly
. And at the same time, there is a string of red words appeared in the vscode terminal:
