打开文件/文件夹时，vscode 在 Arch linux 上崩溃

Question

Installation vscode

I'm running Arch Linux (Manjaro) and installed vscode with:

sudo pacman -S code

but then a simple .NET core program resulted in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may only use the Microsoft .NET Core Debugger (clrdbg) with Visual Studio
Code, Visual Studio or Visual Studio for Mac software to help you develop and
test your applications.

It seems like the official Microsoft build should be obtained via the snap store:

sudo snap install code --classic

And the program looks normal. I can install plug-ins, create a new file et cetera .

Problem

However, I cannot open any files or projects. Doing so results in vscode crashing. I read that code --disable-gpu could solve this problem, but doesn't do so for me. Any ideas

• what may cause this crash?
• or how to get the pacman vscode working?

This likely means that your installation is broken.
Try running the command
  gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
to make things work again for the time being.

I had the same issue trying to get the debugger to work and I spent hours on finding the reason for this. What I found out is that the debugger only works with officially signed Microsoft binaries of VSCode. So you have to make a distinction here:

• The package code contains the open source version of visual studio code, a build wich anyone can make using the provided sources by Microsoft. The program which you get here is therefore not signed by MS !
• The package visual-studio-code-bin provided by the AUR contains a officially signed version by MS . If you use this package, the debugger works as expected.

I do not know wether snap - which I personally never used at all - provides this kind of package, so I can not tell anything about that, but using the said package from the user repository solved the problem for me reliably.

Try this one (which I installed just yesterday under the recent manjaro distribution and it worked fine) and see if this solves your problem with opening files and folders.
