空白 window vscode 作为 root

Question

it's been a long time that i run vscode as root via this command (ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS):

> sudo code --user-data-dir="~/.vscode-root"

Today, i used the same command to execute vscode as root, but i don't have the same result. in this time, i have a blank window.

i tried to remove it + remove /$Home/Code and.vscode folder install it again but i have the same problem, i tried to use the same command with other flags without being able to solve it.

Flags tried : --disable-gpu    ///  --disable-features=CalculateNativeWinOcclusion

is there a way to delete (package + config) and all data of vscode to install it properly again?

Any idea? Thank you & have a nice day

Answer 1

That works for me on VSCodium :

sudo su -c "codium --user-data-dir="/root" --no-sandbox && sleep infinity"

For some reason, vscode does not start with sudo , but it works calmly with su -c

PS: I do not know if it can be done easier. I needed this to work with git in vscode
