[solved] vscode only showing black interfaces with no content

Try running it from the command line with code --disable-gpu.

If that works, you can update the desktop shortcut files (exec section) with the same added parameter.

I recently ran into something similar (opensuse slowroll//kde)

Ref: stackoverflow/Google for the --disable-gpu argument, the desktop file editing - I did for convenience.

Here’s how you can find . desktop files

First, thank you! Sadly, this didn’t help. In ended up deleting (renaming) ~/.config/Code which helped. Luckily enough all the plugins survived because they are installed under ~/.vscode

That’s interesting. I am on GNOME/Wayland and the above flag helped.

I am on X11. rebooting, reinstalling and code --disable-gpu didn’t help. Only deleting the config files. However, reading other comments it seems code --disable-gpu seems to work for most folks.

This happened to new do I switched to Codium and never looked back

Actually, while figuring things out, I did also install Codium and copied the extensions folder from VSCode to the codium folder… Works like a charm - might stay there for the peace of mind.
