If you are trying to log in to our CS Linux systems and are having issues so *and* are using VSCode with the remote SSH Plugin, you *might* need to change the remote.SSH.useFlock setting. We've seen problems in the past that may have been related to VSCode's file locking mechanisms.

To enable flock, you will need to do the following:

  1. Delete the .vscode-server directory in your ugrad home directory. You can do that by SSHing to a Grad or Ugrad Linux client and running:
rm -r ~/.vscode-server
If the directory doesn't exist, that's okay.
  1. In VSCode, go to your settings, find the Remote SSH section, and
    uncheck "Use Flock".
  1. Try connecting to the CS ugrad system again.
