Follow the Code of Conduct

All posts on pop_os must adhere to the Pop!_OS community Code of Conduct. https://github.com/pop-os/code-of-conduct

Be helpful

Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.

Critique should be constructive

We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.

This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.

Don't post malicious "advice"

It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.

Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.

No personal attacks

Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.

No hate speech

Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

How do people here have their set up? I was looking to set myself up, but get an error that says could not find a process named /path/to/project/projectname

I have found this link (thanks mmstick but it didn't run for me :( )

If you need to develop and link to system libraries with the Flatpak version of VS Code, you will need to install openssh-server on the system, and then using the Remote SSH extension. Then you can SSH from the sandbox to the host system. Alternative, you can develop software using any platform and without relying on system libraries with VS Code Dev Containers with Docker/Podman. Finally, it is possible to use nix-shell as a development environment as an alternative to Docker/Podman.

Personally, I use the Remote SSH extension so that I can use my laptop to develop code that's maintained and compiled by my desktop. That way my laptop can focus purely on rendering the UI and reducing energy consumption. Also justifies keeping the desktop on throughout the day. If not for developing things specifically for Pop, I'd use nix-shell for setting up development environments.

Thank you for sharing a solution and your workflow. I will be trying it out :)

I've had bad luck installing vs code in a flatpak, the sandbox isn't great for code editors.

At least I am in good company.

Might just be because of the sandboxed nature of flatpaks, I had similar problems on emacs, before realizing I had installed it using flatpak...

For things like text editors, it's mostly better to use non-flatpaks, so they won't have issues accessing extensions or files or whatever, like you're seeing.
