Recommended action: Run 'Remote-SSH: Kill VS Code Server on Host' and retry; if it still fails set remote.SSH.showLoginTerminal=true and remote.SSH.useLocalServer=false, check the host has internet (or HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY in ~/.bashrc), and do not switch shells from .bash_profile (use chsh).
Option: Kill the remote server and retry with the login terminal visible [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Remote-SSH connection fails or hangs at server start
Steps:
1. Command Palette: Remote-SSH: Kill VS Code Server on Host
2. Set "remote.SSH.showLoginTerminal": true and "remote.SSH.useLocalServer": false
3. Retry and answer any password/2FA prompt
4. If still failing, check /tmp noexec, .bash_profile shell switching, and host internet/proxy
Expected: Server is reinstalled and the remote window connects.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
