Hello all,

I’m using VS code 1.84.1 to use Julia 1.2.0 with the Julia language support v1.75.2 plugin for VS code. I am connecting to an Ubuntu 18.04 remote server from a Macbook M1 Pro on Sonoma 14.4 via SSH. The language server invariably fails to start with the following error. I have failed to find any other threads exhibiting this issue and I’m not sure how to proceed - any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

These logs look a bit incongruous. Is there any more info under Output \> Julia Language Server?
