Linux-based Devcontainer on arm-based Mac: qemu-x86_64: Could not open '/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2': No such file or directory

Describe the bug

I added the extension to the extensions list of a devcontainer.json. After the devaontainer is loaded, the extension is failing with the following log.

Potential Problem

I'm working on an arm-based macOS. Thus, I think the problem is here. Since the plugin is running within the Linux-based devcontainer, it downloads the latest Linux-version of the plugin.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a .devcontainer/devcontainer.json with

   {
    "customizations": {
        "vscode": {
            "extensions": [
                "DavidAnson.vscode-markdownlint",
                "valentjn.vscode-ltex"
            ],
     }
     ...
     "image": "mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/python:1-3.9-bookworm"
   }

2. Command Dev Containers: Rebuild and Reopen in Container

3. After the devcontainer has been built, and VSCode has been loaded in the devcontainer, open any Markdown file. Wait for the download to finish.

4. You will get an error.

Expected behavior

Normal hints as in VScode with the devcontainer.

** Potential Fix

1. Install Java on the devcontainer, e.g., via this feature.
2. Add "ltex.java.path": "/usr/local/sdkman/candidates/java/current/" to the customizations.vscode.settings in the devcontainer.json.

Version information
List here the version information of the relevant software.

• Operating system: macOS Ventura (13.6.2), Debian Bookworm on the Devcontainer.
• VS Code: 1.84.2
• vscode-ltex: v13.1.0

Additional context/information

I really like this extension! Thanks for working on it!

I stumbled on the same problem some time ago.
For the Record:

The issue is that the ltex cannot find java.

You can specify the java path in devcontainer.json like this:

"ltex.java.path": "/usr/lib/jvm/msopenjdk-current",

Note that some images do not ship Java per default. I noticed also differences in versions, e.g. x86 Debian shipped Java while the corresponding aarch64 variant does not.
For this reason, I use mcr.microsoft.com/vscode/devcontainers/java:17-bullseye in my LaTex Containers.

Not directly related to this issue, but there is also https://github.com/prulloac/devcontainer-features/tree/main/src/latex
Haven't tried it yet, but maybe interesting for some people in case you don't want to install your LaTeX distribution manuallay via apt.
