[SOLVED] VS code: unable to launch

he15en6erg · 2019-12-23 13:21:13

Installed code package from official repository, but unable to launch it becuse of the following error :

electron4: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.1.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How did you install code? Please post your pacman.log.

Here is the output of my pacman.log :

If usr/lib/libevent-2.1.so.7 does not exist, wouldn't it mean that an older version of libevent got pulled in by something and that pacman is not aware of it?

libevent-2.1.so.7 is the latest version of libevent as provided by the Arch Linux repositories. If OP doesn't have it, then they either don't have the latest version of libevent (i.e. due to a partial upgrade, faulty mirror, etc.), or their filesystem has gotten corrupted some how. Until we see the full pacman.log we can't assess what the situation is.

Here is the complete pacman.log output.

So your last full system update was on the first of July? And you started an update but canceled it in Oct? Yep, classic partial update. After canceling an update, you can't install anything until you finish the update.

Edit: scratch that, the one in July was canceled as well. Your last full update was in Feb? Seriously? You're lucky things haven't broken before now.

Yes. I am embarrassed. Upgrading the full system resolved my problem. Thank you.
