microsoft - Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu 12.04 32bit - Ask Ubuntu

i've downloaded , installed deb , bin package visual studio code 32bit, in both cases i'm getting following error when try start it

./code: line 36: 2704 illegal instruction   electron_run_as_node=1 "$electron" "$cli" "$@" 

i can't understand causing problem. system release 12.04.5 lts

with gdebi

same error, see lxterminal lxde

current status: still open issue

please note that, despite accepted answer, issue still open

from microsoft vscode github, asked me file issue electron github. i'll keep updated.

i recommend remove both atom , visual studio code(even configuration files) because both run on electron framework , seems there problem it. remove installers used install them. install node.js in system. download installer(.deb packages) of visual studio code(32-bit) , install it. install atom(32-bit), go link given below , follow instructions there :-

how can create 32-bit version of atom?

hope works !

if still doesn't work, file issue @ electron github
