SSH remote not working on Microsoft Visual Studio Code

Question

Remote ssh on visual studio was working okay. But I just installed the Docker extension. After that, VS tries to load everything from the .profile file on my remote and it does not work. I uninstalled the Docker extension. I think deleting/editing some files written by VS on remote machine should help(inside .vscode-server folder). Could you please help me in figuring this out?

This is what I see in the log output file.

6e1dff78f10: running
Acquiring lock on /home/username/.vscode-server/bin/3a6960b964327f0e3882ce18fcebd07ed191b316/vscode-remote-lock.username.3a6960b964327f0e3882ce18fcebd07ed191b316
Installation already in progress...
If you continue to see this message, you can try toggling the remote.SSH.useFlock setting

You have to use the VS Code command : Remote-SSH: Kill VS Code Server on Host...

1. Open the command palette (Ctrl + Maj + P or View->Command Palette...)
2. Remote-SSH: Kill VS Code Server on Host...
3. Choose your problematic host
4. Restart VS Code
5. Try again
