尝试第一次解决方法

1. 升级wsl 未能解决
2. 回退vscode版本 未能解决
3. 重启计算机 未能解决
4. 删除服务器目录并重新连接

rm -rf ~/.vscode-server

此步解决了上面的报错，又出现新的报错，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)

尝试第二次解决方法

mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src

wget 'https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.28.tar.gz'
tar xzf glibc-2.28.tar.gz

mkdir glibc-2.28-build
cd glibc-2.28-build
../glibc-2.28/configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.28

make

# make sure you can write to /opt/glibc-2.28
make install

其中遇到使用prefix命令修改指定编译目录出错，报错如下:

看报错日志是编译glibc-2.28时出现的bison缺失或版本过旧的问题，于是

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bison

安装bison后再次执行

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

成功修改编译指定编译目录。

安装"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安装及链接到新安装的glibc-2.28完成，vscode可以正常连接到wsl扩展中的ubuntu18.04。

注意事项

编译并覆盖安装glibc会导致系统崩溃，编译的时候一定要指定prefix，千万不能把系统中原有的lib给覆盖了。
