VS Code crashes Wayland

#1 Post by HankB »

The latest version of Visual Studio Code (1.26.1-1534444688 installed as a snap package) reliably crashes the Gnome desktop on startup. It never even gets to the point where the VS Code window appears. I'm not sure whether the fault lies with Wayland, Gnome or VS Code but Wayland leaves a core file in my home directory so that seems like a good place to start.

Here's what I have:
Debian testing (on a ZFS root.) I rolled back a few days to where VS code was at 1.25 and it did not exhibit this problem. Shortly after, the desktop crashed (leaving me at the GDM login prompt) and when I logged in, I found that VS Code had been upgraded to 1.26.

This would probably be useful if I knew how to install debug symbols but I do not.

I'm not sure where to go with this. I recognize it is a cost of running Testing. It seems to me that the information might be useful to someone, but I'm not sure where to provide that. Suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit.1 I can confirm that the desktop does not crash under X11. There is also a startup timing difference. Under Wayland it takes longer (a second or two) before `code` detaches from the terminal. Under X11 it is almost instant.

Install the packages from the debian-debug repositories, they all have the debugging symbols enabled:

Where can I put this where it will be useful to someone developing Wayland (or Mesa.)

Thanks again.

Debian has a reportbug package that helps formalise the process.

Thank you both. I'll be studying all of those links to see if I can figure out the most effective way to proceed.

Thanks!

Well, since you already got your answers, I'll provide the following simple, but true equation:

Code: Select all

foo crashes wayland
where foo equals *anything*.
