Discussion:
latest VS Code insiders, turn on Voice Over on mac P -notice how the screen reader does not read any of the items in the quick pick This works just fine on Linux and Windows. Also works fine for stable. So it seems like an chrome update in electron broke this I can also repro running in . In Firefox and Safari all is good. I can not reproduce in Chrome cannary, so there seems to be a fix in Chrome latest. Ideally we would find the fix in Chrome and backport it to our Electron. fyi And for Chrome smartness, maybe one of your collegues fixed something like this (should be related to )
I can add this to my list (which is starting to grow I'm afraid). BUT, you don't need smartness; you need the most excellent bisect-build tool! :smile: Docs here: Once you have the regression range, you just sit there as pre-built binaries are presented for you to try and mark as good or bad. Best. Tool. Ever. Lemme know if you have any questions or need help.
Thanks a lot. Let's see if already has this set up, otherwise I can also look into it.
Yup I can do the bisect shortly.

Impressive. Thanks a lot!

I'm also getting the same problem using snap. Stable with snap works fine, had the crash after updating. Ubuntu 20.04. Logs:
thanks for the logs, seeing the gpu process crashed eventually, can you try running with ?
weird that gpu process is still crashing. Can you try launching with . If it still crashes, launch with and attach the crash dump generated.
fyi, nothing saves to /tmp/vscode-crash if that is .
Thanks for the logs Its good to know that software compositing is attempted to be used, without crash dumps its hard to understand whats happening in the gpu process. Let me look into fixing and then we can proceed from there. One more thing to try, can you paste the output of
This appears to be a snap issue. I uninstalled the snap () and re-installed via ppa and apt (instructions: ) and it is working fine.
I am trying to repro this issue on my machine today, I am running Ubuntu 18.04 on parallels vm , installed insiders with . Opening the app via command line or via app icon doesn't seem to generate any crash. Is there something I am missing in the setup ?
Possibly Ubuntu 20.04
I got crash on ubuntu 18.04 so its not just 20.04
I can try on 20.04 is there any difference in my setup from yours ?
I crash on both command line and app icon. Running dual boot with windows 10 rn. No VM. Possible it has to do with hardware too.

Thanks for the details, one more thing to confirm, does it crash when you run from deb or tar packages of insiders
Laptop HP ProBook 455R G6 8VT74EA (AMD Ryzen 7 3700U, AMD Radeon Rx Vega 10) Linux Mint 20 (Ubuntu 20.04, Kernel 5.4.0-42) Cinnamon 4.6.6 snap 2.45.2 <details<summaryVS Code output</summary</details
My co-worker and I both had the July 22nd snap update start failing at the same time (). They were running Ubuntu 18.04 and Gnome, while I was running 20.04 and i3 on metal, not a VM. We both have GPUs. Given the GPU and /dev/fd/3 errors I question whether a VM with emulated hardware would produce the same errors as metal with an actual GPU. Just a thought.
I just tried 20.04 on my parallels, haven't seen any crash so far. So yeah I need to try this without a VM. can you confirm if the crash doesn't occur when you use the deb or tar packages of the insiders , the installation you had linked in is an external repo not maintained by vscode, not sure if the insiders you had tested there are on the same runtime Electron
no crash when installing from .deb package
Same
Thanks all for the details, I will setup the required environment to repro the crash in the upcoming days. We have pushed electron 9 update to next milestone (August 2020), insiders from tomorrow will be on Electron 7 which shouldn't crash with the snap builds.
Update VS Code from <details<summaryVS Code output</summary</details
the revision you had tested is still on , please test latest revision
Thank you, , this revision works.
Insiders started crashing for me again. Did electron 9 get pushed to insiders again?
VS Code Insiders crashes again <details<summaryVS Code output</summary</details
I can confirm this issue. OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 DE: Gnome 3.36.

Some updates, I was able to setup the environment that repros the crash, after investigating the crash which was failing to load graphic libraries for libgbm, it turns out the build environment for snap we have been using was outdated Ubuntu 14.04. I updated the environment to 18.04 and here is the new , now its crashing with a mismatched glibc version error when run on ubuntu 20.04.

Anyone has idea on what could be the issue here
I have a possible workaround based on https://chromium-, will update here once new build is available for testing.
Tomorrow's insider will contain the fix, incase you want to check on a one time test build
