Help!

Expected

I should be able to open the terminal

Actual

Terminal does not open. Some coments said turn of 'gpu' in code and I did, and open and close terminal. But that did not work.
The issue is that it can't find those files, including xterm.js.
I tried to npm i xterm in that folder and no joy.

No response

Does this issue happen in VS Code or GitHub Codespaces?

• I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.
• I cannot reproduce this in GitHub Codespaces.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

• I am using HTTPS.

Notes

No, I mean I got https, I got no other bugs.

Which version of code-server is this?

Based on your logs it sounds like the node_modules inside lib/vscode are missing which can happen if the install gets wonky.

Can you find the lib/vscode folder on your machine, cd into it and run npm install? Or go up two directories (root of code-server) and run npm install --unsafe-permand it should run thepostinstall` script which will install Code's node mods.

I seem to have the same issue.
Version: 4.8.3 977b853 with Code 1.72.1
I installed code-server on Raspberry Pi 4, using npm -g ...

EDIT (removed previously posted stacktrace):

Once located lib/vscode in /usr/lib/node_modules/code-server
I ran sudo npm install --unsafe-perm which resulted in huge stacktrace.
Turns out I was missing libsecret-1.
To install it I ran sudo apt-get install libsecret-1-dev.
Then sudo npm install --unsafe-perm completed successfully, and after restart terminal was accessible!

Woohoo! Thanks @klubi - going to close this for now.
