Visual Studio Code will not start.
I tried killall code; code --verbose --user-data-dir=/tmp/remote --disable-gpu --no-extensions (/tmp/remote is a new empty directory) to get some diagnostics; however there is no output. It just hangs forever.
I tried running that through strace -f to see if it’s something jammed; the bare output is intractable but filtering it to my home directory or to open system calls both yielded zero clues. It’s not reading anything in my home directory except for .fontconfig
I’m out of ideas for getting any diagnostics on this. It’s really frustrating because it used to launch. I thought I was dealing with a corrupted settings directory, but after systematically clearing its settings to get back to a blank state, it’s not that. I’ve been banging at this for two days. There is nothing useful I can add to this. The only internet hit is from 2018 and makes no sense in context.
