OmniSharp failed to start in Visual Studio Code

Question

I open folder with existing MSBuild project (actually from VS 2012) on C# in VSCode (v. 0.10.3) under Kubuntu 15.04. OmniSharp throw error after start:

[INFO] Starting OmniSharp at '/home/tezaurismosis/Development/NET/ConsoleApp/ConsoleApp.sln'...

[ERROR] Error: Failed to start OmniSharp

I have installed latest version of Mono (4.2.1) and all subpackages with Mono assemblies, install dnvm and run dnvm upgrade -r mono, run dnu restore, but OmniSharp failed again and again and IntelliSence did'nt work in VSCode.

How can I fix it?

P.S. It's not ASP.NET, just console C# project.

I have a similar issue, but on Linux (debian 8). Were you able to solve this? — Animesh, Dec 16 '15 at 06:23
@Nanda, i can't. Maybe in VSCode non-ASP.NET projects not (yet) supported, i don't know. — tezaurismosis, Dec 20 '15 at 00:47

Your versions might be out of date. Uninstall and reinstall the C# extension in vs code.

Press F1, type ext show installed, press Enter. Click the x to remove it.
Restart vscode.
Press F1, type ext install, press Enter. Click the download icon to install.
Restart vscode.

Ominsharp will now run.

This bleeding edge stuff is cool, but sometimes painful. Thanks for the simple solution. It worked for me :) – joshmcode Apr 10 '16 at 14:06
Your answer was useful, thanks, but in the code version that I have now, after step 1. a list appears in which appears "c # for visual studio code powered by omnisharp" and clicking can be updated. Sorry for my bad english – Angel Angel Jan 07 '17 at 22:58
