vscode remote ssh connection not working anymore with voxl sdk 0.9

aashry

Hello!

Is there any workaround that I can do to get vscode remote ssh to work again with voxl? It was working fine a couple of months ago, but now it seems like it's not working anymore. I checked from here and it seems that the current SDK running on my voxl runs on an older Kernel which is not supported anymore for vscode ssh remote connection? I suspect it's due to the VOXL running on an outdated kernel. I'm guessing that because the error that it throws away while trying to connect says:

The remote host may not meet VS Code Server's prerequisites for glibc and libstdc++

/home/root/.vscode-server/bin/903b1e9d8990623e3d7da1df3d33db3e42d80eda/bin/helpers/check-requirements.sh: line 22: getconf: not found

Did anyone face a similar issue and manage to solve it?

Below is the output of voxl-version command on my current setup.

I think an SDK upgrade might be the solution, but I'm looking for a quick fix to tide me over until my current project is completed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

@aashry

Yes, definitely update the SDK first! We're many versions past SDK 0.9. Once you do, try again and let me know, I'll be happy to help.
