I was getting this error while trying to connect VSCode to a raspberry pi Tweaking lots of settings within VSCode did nothing to help. What is the cause of this error?

It turns out that, in my case at least, this is actually nothing to do with VSCode itself, but the SSH key I was using was configured to start or connect to a gnu screen session.

Check your authorized_keys file and see if the SSH key is configured to run a specific command, this prevents VSCode from being able to issue the commands it needs.

Either remove this restriction or configure a second key.
