code permission denied wsl

[patrickmaciel]

Hi guys.

First: I know permission denied is a "linux thing", but because I do not know how to reinstall the vscode remote server, I post the issue here.

---

In the first time, when I install Vscode Extension Remote WSL and open the Ubuntu Bash on Windows 10, works great.

Then I make some configurations in /etc/wsl.conf to make my Ubuntu ser set the user home folder as a ubuntu user home folder.

/etc/wsl.conf

[automount]
enabled=true
root = /
options="metadata,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=22,fmask=111"

After that, the command code in Ubuntu/Bash always return permission denied.

And I cant reinstall the VSCode Remote Server. I try to reinstall the extension on Vscode but I cant force the reinstall of vscode remote server.

1. How can I uninstall vscode remote server?
2. How can I manually install vscode remote server?
3. Where is the installation directory?

I fix the problem.

Was related to /etc/wsl.conf.

I update the file with other permissions and now everything works great.

[automount]
enabled=true
root = /
options="metadata,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=002,dmask=002,fmask=002"
