TL;DR

The issue with the codex extension being stuck and unable to open for a remote server in VS Code on Linux may be resolved by checking the extension's configuration and permissions for remote workspaces.

Guidance

  • Verify that the codex extension is properly configured for remote workspaces by checking its settings in VS Code.
  • Check the permissions and access rights for the remote server to ensure that the extension can connect and function correctly.
  • Try to reproduce the issue with a different remote server or a local workspace to isolate the problem.
  • Review the VS Code and codex extension documentation for any known issues or limitations related to remote workspaces on Linux.

Notes

The provided information lacks specific error messages or logs, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. Further investigation and debugging may be necessary to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try to configure the codex extension to work with remote servers by checking its settings and permissions, as this may resolve the issue without requiring an upgrade or significant changes.
