Research direction
Reproduce the failure on Ubuntu 18.04 through the VS Code extension, starting with the binary at ~/.vscode-server/extensions/sumneko.lua-3.12.0-linux-x64/server/bin/lua-language-server and the errors in the Output view. Investigate how the language-server binary is packaged for Linux and verify that it launches successfully on the reported environment without the GLIBC_2.29 error.
