嘗試第一次解決方法

1. 升級wsl 未能解決
2. 回退vscode版本 未能解決
3. 重啟計算機 未能解決
4. 刪除服務器目錄并重新連接

rm -rf ~/.vscode-server

此步解決了上面的報錯，又出現新的報錯，如下：
/home/zl/.vscode-server/bin/4437686ffebaf200fa4a6e6e67f735f3edf24ada/node: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28’ not found (required by /home/zl/.vscode-server/bin/4437686ffebaf200fa4a6e6e67f735f3edf24ada/node)

嘗試第二次解決方法

mkdir ~/src
cd ~/srcwget 'https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.28.tar.gz'
tar xzf glibc-2.28.tar.gzmkdir glibc-2.28-build
cd glibc-2.28-build
../glibc-2.28/configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.28make# make sure you can write to /opt/glibc-2.28
make install

其中遇到使用prefix命令修改指定編譯目錄出錯，報錯如下:

看報錯日志是編譯glibc-2.28時出現的bison缺失或版本過舊的問題，于是

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bison

安裝bison后再次執行

../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.28/

成功修改編譯指定編譯目錄。

安裝"patchelf"

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install patchelf

cd ~/.vscode-server/bin/4437686ffebaf200fa4a6e6e67f735f3edf24ada
cp node node_bak
patchelf --set-interpreter /opt/glibc-2.28/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --set-rpath /opt/glibc-2.28/lib:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu node

至此glibc-2.28安裝及鏈接到新安裝的glibc-2.28完成，vscode可以正常連接到wsl擴展中的ubuntu18.04。

注意事項

編譯并覆蓋安裝glibc會導致系統崩潰，編譯的時候一定要指定prefix，千萬不能把系統中原有的lib給覆蓋了。
