I can’t believe it: After 50 hours of work, I have a toolchain running!
I could never make it running as it was suggested in the Toradex IDE2 Setup. The installation of docker engine through apt failed on two different computers, no matter how often I tried.
I could get Ubuntu-22.04 under WSL running with a Windows Installation of Docker Desktop. Then under Visual Code it still was problematic. The installation and run of WSL in VSCode was ok. Starting of Torizon IDE had problems. I meanwhile think that when VSCode is started with a path outside of Linux, it is a problem to even get Torizon IDE started, when it needs all these additional packages. Trying to get this running when I had started the icon from the windows desktop always failed. I finally was successful when starting VSCode from within the Ubuntu shell on a Linux path with “code .”. Nevertheless I had to manually install a “PowerShell Core” and on another computer, also all addional packages like nmap and others could not be installed automatically, and I had to do this manually on a shell.
I am glad, that it is working now, but I have concerns when other extensions are required, and they are not installed automatically as supposed, it might get difficult. Probably still something is wrong with the complete setup. I meanwhile found, that there is the normal VisualCodeUserSetup, but also a VisualCodeSetup, dont know whether this code make a difference?
Glad you were able to get things going. So is the debugging and deploying all working fine now?
Not sure why you had a lot of differences in your setup compared to mine. For example I don’t start VSCode in WSL I just start it from the Windows side as normal.

I believe this article here describes the difference between these setup methods: Running Visual Studio Code on Windows

I have seen this article, but I was unclear whether the torizon IDE platform needs one or the other.
Though it is working now, I still have concerns to run into further problems because all the depending package were not installed automatically, I had to hunt down each single package. We are at the beginning of a large development, and will have to install this and further tools on several computers, therefore I think it is important to have a clean installation

Interesting, I’ll pass this along to our IDE team in-case there is something to look into here. In the mean-time however I hear you’ve been in contact with some of my colleagues for further assistance. I hope we’re able to get you and your team setup on all your PCs.

Thank you for all your help, without it I would not have been able to get it going. So it was a great help for me since we are really urgently trying to get on speed with the new board and new OS.
Again, Thank you very much for your time
Best regards
Bernhard
Glad we were able to help you!
