https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues#creating-a-crash-report describes how to get a crash dump. Can you try this?

I get a editor crash as soon as I install it, but do not get a crash from the editor (rather a hang but it is still active just seemingly blocked?) so I presume this won't be helpful? The log information from the shell might be though @aeschli

EDIT: Potentially a bug with VS Code itself since I am getting crashes elsewhere? Will update here.

It looks like the crash happens while the vscode-copilot extension is activated. @digitarald Can we move this issue to the Github team?

sorta, but it was related to the credentials store locking up VS Code here

Oh, how did you find this out? FYI @TylerLeonhardt

lots of trial and error when I would open a repo that used GitHub and it also crashed, added "password-store": "basic" to my argv.json (I know this is unsafe, but I am the only user on this encrypted install, and I will come back to it later, just bodging this VS Code install) and it worked

[IAmJSD]

I think there is seemingly a deeper bug that causes the credential store to lock up that affects me on a near stock Ubuntu install (both with the deb and snap), but I don't know if it is the same bug OP has

just reproduced in a completely clean Ubuntu virtual machine install (I show a lot of the setup steps I clicked, a little different for partitioning but the rest is correct)

@aeschli (sorry, I realised I forgot to tag you when I wrote all that)

[TylerLeonhardt]

@IAmJSD your issue is likely unrelated to @hgudella who was experiencing an OOM crash and on Windows... and yes, I'm very suspicious of this being an Electron bug when interacting with the keyring.

Would you mind creating a new issue and also attaching the crash dump as called out here?: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues#creating-a-crash-report
