Unable to start Language Server

[alex-gilman]

Using the CircleCI extension in VSCode on Ubuntu 20.04.6, an error notification reading "Unable to start the CircleCI Language Server". CircleCI log shows

Thanks for reporting this. We've recently identified a bug in this area. I have a question: are you perhaps running VS Code inside a dev container?

[alex-gilman]

No, no dev containers.

Hi @alex-gilman do you still have this issue ?
Do you have some setup evolving ssh into a remote machine or something similar ?

[alex-gilman]

Yes, I still have the issue. There is nothing complicated about my setup. I am running VS Code (installed as an apt package) directly on my machine.

Thanks for your answer, can you run the following commands
ls -l ~/.local/share/CircleCI-language-server
md5 ~/.local/share/CircleCI-language-server/circleci-yaml-language-server.tmp
md5 ~/.local/share/CircleCI-language-server/circleci-yaml-language-server
~/.local/share/CircleCI-language-server/circleci-yaml-language-server --version
~/.local/share/CircleCI-language-server/circleci-yaml-language-server.tmp --version
and share with us the output of these commands

Those last errors prompted me to check my libc6 installation. It is at version 2.31-0ubuntu9.14, and no updates appear to be available.

Hi @loderunner, is there a solution if I am using a dev container?
