Hello,
I am having some issues with the language server. I’ll describe what I am trying to do first.
I am getting my development environment set up on a new cluster. I want to be able to use the Julia Extension via [VSCode remote development](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview).
I am using Julia 1.8.0, VScode version 1.80.1 and Julia Extension version 1.47.2.
I was able to SSH into the cluster, clone my git repo for development, and instantiate it. Note I had to instantiate it on a compute node and not a login node because of limitations on number of cores the login node allows you to use (I could have set precompilation tasks to 1 but that would have taken ages).
When I start Vscode though the Julia language server crashes. I looked in the output and I see the following.
```julia
Activating project at `~/.vscode-server/extensions/julialang.language-julia-1.47.2/scripts/environments/languageserver/v1.8`
[ Info: Starting the Julia Language Server
OpenBLAS blas_thread_init: pthread_create failed for thread 156 of 256: Resource temporarily unavailable
```
The message about `OpenBLAS blas_thread_init` repeats until it is `255 of 256`.
Then a fairy long stack trace is given with the following at the top:
```julia
ERROR: LoadError: IOError: could not spawn `MY/PROJECT/PATH/julia-1.8.0/bin/julia -Cnative -MY/PROJECT/PATH/julia-1.8.0/lib/julia/sys.so -O0 -g1 --startup-file=no -O0 --output-ji MY/PROJECT/PATH/.vscode-server/data/User/globalStorage/julialang.language-julia/lsdepot/v1/compiled/v1.8/Compat/jl_CDFTIb --output-incremental=yes --startup-file=no --history-file=no --warn-overwrite=yes --color=auto -`: resource temporarily unavailable (EAGAIN)
```
Which is followed by this message
```julia
The Language Server failed to precompile.
Please make sure you have permissions to write to the LS depot path at
MY/PROJECT/PATH/.vscode-server/data/User/globalStorage/julialang.language-julia/lsdepot/v1
```
I made sure that the directory `v1` is read and writable for users, groups, and other and I still get the same error.
Any clues on what might be causing this or how to resolve it?

I had a similar experience in

Could you check the result of `ulimit -a`? Could you also try a recent Julia version (1.9.0+)?

Here is what I get when doing `ulimit -a` on the login node.
```julia
max user processes (-u) 1028898
```
I will give 1.9 a try later tonight.

I couldn’t wait lol.
1.9.2 seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks for the suggestion!
