I've been trying to install MS Visual Studio Code after it was announced today, on my Ubuntu 14.04 computer. I've read the official docs and setup from Microsoft and I've read an answer to a question on this forum that asks for the installation process of Visual Studio Code.
But my question is specific, when I attempt to extract the downloaded zipped file to a new folder (as suggested by Microsoft), I get this error.
Even when I skip the extract to another folder process and directly double click on Code
, I still get the same error.
EDIT:
Unzipped from command line. It looks like everything was unzipped, but then when I double click on Code
, nothing happens at all.
If I try to run Code
through the terminal instead, I get this, and nothing else happens -
5195:0430/005338:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(170)] Running without the SUID sandbox!
See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment for more information on developing with the sandbox on.
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment

doesn't give any response../Code
from the unzipped directoryvscode
(following instruction in Ron's answer here), I get this in the terminal, and nothing else happens:[5195:0430/005338:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(170)] Running without the SUID sandbox!

./Code
is OK for me, but I had to extract from the terminal withunzip VSCode-linux-x64.zip
(in an empty folder). Also downloading the archive gives 408 for me at the end (near 99%).
