From the 4 remote machines I tested I have 1 remote machine where this issue did not appear, the other 3 are failing.

The 1 working remote is a x64 Ubuntu 22.04 as is one of the non-working. The other two are both Raspberry Pi 4, one with Ubuntu 22.04 and one with Ubuntu 20.04.

Renaming .vscode-server and letting VS Code reconnect also fails. It creates the dir ~/.vscode-server and in it bin, where it then attempts to install the server but fails.
