VSC crashes almost immediately after launching it.

[MomSlayerGX]

* Didn't work

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes*(I used --disable-extensions parameter in the terminal to achieve that)

• VS Code Version: 1.89.1
• OS Version: Debian 12 with linux kernal 6.6.15

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch code through terminal or app dashboard
2. A window of VSCode pops up with nothing in it, then it crashes after a few seconds.

Steps taken to resolve:

1. Remove any keys related to VSC
   Result: Same issue persists, there was no key for vsc
   2: Run code without gpu or extensions by (code --disable-extensions --disable-gpu) in terminal
   Result: Nothing changed
2. Reinstall VSC using apt/nala
   Result: Same issue persists
3. Install insider
   Result: Same as before

Other information

what vsc looks like before it crashes, ignore the background text that is from --verbose

Result of --verbose with above listed parameters. Only includes some information as it is too long

Adding "window.titleBarStyle": "custom" results in the application border to disappear and for VSC to become a blue rectaangle.
Following the steps by gatimus results in me running out of space and nothing else. After reverting the changes from copying the home directory to /etc/skel, VSC gives me new error even without verbose, disable gpu or disable extensions.

Issue Description:

I have been experiencing a persistent issue with Visual Studio Code on Kali Linux where the editor crashes when opening projects that contain Git files. This issue does not occur when the project does not have Git initialized. Other editors do not seem to have this problem, making me suspect that the issue is specifically related to VS Code's handling of Git repositories.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a project in VS Code that does not have a Git repository initialized.
2. Initialize a Git repository in the project (git init).
3. Close and reopen the project in VS Code.

Expected Behavior:
VS Code should open the project without crashing, regardless of the presence of Git files.

Actual Behavior:
VS Code crashes upon attempting to open a project with Git files.

Screenshots:

Crash Screenshot:

Environment Details:

System Information:

• OS: Kali Linux (been using it for 3 years, issue persists across versions)
• VS Code Version: 1.82.2
• Git Version: git version 2.43.0

Additional Information:
I have to remove the .git files to be able to use VS Code. This problem does not occur with other editors on the same system.

Hi, I have installed Linux Debian on my windows drive as it has more space and is faster and on VSC there is no issue. I can launch it with no parameter like for example --disable-gpu. I still have my old drive with Linux Debian with the malfunctionning VSC to attempt. As for the comments left by isaka-james, I am not able to open any file or folder in VSC tho I will try running it in a clean folder with no .git.

[isaka-james]

@MomSlayerGX I switched to vim, when they'll resolve this issue I will come back to vscode. So how come you are writing code in 2024 without git? Very frustrating !

[MomSlayerGX]

Not sure if it works but if you are using kde can you switch from wayland(or whatever it is called) to xorg/x11 (or whatever it is called) or vice versa, maybe it might solve the issue.
It can be changed in the login screen of linux desktop envoirment

[isaka-james]

So how do that relate to vscode quitting when it is associated projects with git?
I will try your suggestion and give feedback.. but recently I tested my friends Kali Linux OS they behave the same way(quitting when projects have git)

[hierro59]

In my case the problem is a new version of VSCode from snap. To solve it I had to revert to the previous version with the command
snap revert code

[isaka-james]

@hierro59 I installed Vscode using apt. And yesterday I reinstalled again the vscode but still the same problem.

And I tested from my Friend Pc(who is using Kali Linux as me) who said for him it worked fine but when I added git, the vscode started to crash.But when you remove the .git from the project vscode just worked fine.

But how can you code without git 😔
