Can you execute /home/balllaz/.vscode/extensions/sumneko.lua-3.5.5-linux-x64/server/bin/lua-language-server manually?
If not, you need to compile the server by yourself, see https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server/wiki/Getting-Started#build

Can you execute /home/balllaz/.vscode/extensions/sumneko.lua-3.5.5-linux-x64/server/bin/lua-language-server manually?

Not. I receive:
zsh: no such file or directory: /home/balllaz/.vscode/extensions/sumneko.lua-3.5.5-linux-x64/server/bin/lua-language-serve

I'm using NixOS and have the lua-language-serve on package repository. I've been installing it. But i isn't found any config on vscode to point the lua-language-server binary from NixOS.

I could create a symlink replacing the binary of vscode extension, but on all next update the symlink will be lost.

Will be possible to create a config on vscode to point to a custom lua-language-server binary?
In my case the binary provided by NixOS is already in $PATH

@sumneko thanks for your commit!

But the language-server installed by my distro seems don't work.
The vscode default configuration should work, right?
I mean the autocomplete, lint, etc.

I'm not sure where to look...

Hello @AdsonCicilioti!

The version you have installed most likely does not contain the above commit. The commit will be included in the release of v3.6.0. If you would like to get the feature now, you can grab one of the artifacts from the bottom of one of the build action runs. The artifact can then be used to replace your current server.

Hope this helps 🙂
