vscode: CodeWindow renderer process gone crash

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version: 1.74.0
  • OS Version: Linux x64 5.10.0-20-amd64

VSCode sporadically crashes on Linux. The issue does not seem to exist on Windows or MacOS.

main.log does not contain much information other than

2023-01-17 07:28:15.770 [info] Starting extension host with pid 45027 (fork() took 49 ms).
2023-01-17 07:29:33.660 [error] CodeWindow: renderer process gone (reason: crashed, code: 11)
2023-01-17 07:29:35.124 [info] Extension host with pid 45027 exited with code: 0, signal: null.

and in exthost.log

2023-01-17 07:29:34.010 [info] Extension host terminating: parent process 44820 does not exist anymore: kill ESRCH (code: ESRCH) (errno: -3)

I could not symbolicate the dump as microsoft/vscode-electron-prebuilt is no longer accessible. Instructions in wiki page Native-Crash-Issues may be outdated.

@chrisant996 yes the sandbox was new feature, you can read about it at https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2022/11/28/vscode-sandbox. It would be good to detect the cases where the sandbox cannot work but that requires changes from the runtime, the best we could provide is a setting to configure the sandbox https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_80#_disable-chromium-sandbox

@ajdor thanks for checking, can you attach the crash logs from the latest version.
