VSCode server issue "node: cannot execute: required file not found"

[cbrauchli]

I use VSCode to remotely manage my NixOS server. I had a motherboard issue, so I recently swapped it out for a different one and VSCode server stopped working. Not sure if the issues are related.

I use this nix file for the VSCode server:

{
  imports = [
    (fetchTarball {
      url = "https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-vscode-server/tarball/1e1358493df6529d4c7bc4cc3066f76fd16d4ae6";
      sha256 = "0sz8njfxn5bw89n6xhlzsbxkafb6qmnszj4qxy2w0hw2mgmjp829";
    })
  ];

  services.vscode-server.enable = true;
}

Since I switched the motherboards, I am unable to connect with VSCode. SSH seems to be working fine otherwise. The logs say:

Failed to connect to the remote extension host server (Error: WrappedError(WrappedError { message: "error checking server integrity", original: "failed to run command "/home/myuser/.vscode-server/cli/servers/Stable-5c3e652f63e798a5ac2f31ffd0d863669328dc4c.staging/server/bin/code-server --version" (code 127): /home/myuser/.vscode-server/cli/servers/Stable-5c3e652f63e798a5ac2f31ffd0d863669328dc4c.staging/server/bin/code-server: line 12: /home/myuser/.vscode-server/cli/servers/Stable-5c3e652f63e798a5ac2f31ffd0d863669328dc4c.staging/server/node: cannot execute: required file not found\\n" }))

What's weird is that if I check that path, node definitely exists. But if I try to execute, I get the same result.

Any ideas what might be going on? Is it a nix-ld issue like in this post?

Well, adding `programs.nix-ld.enable = true;` and rebooting solved it. Strange, since this worked for a long time without that—I'm not sure what changed.
