vscode: Linux: Unable to launch Code after upgrade to 1.57

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

  • VS Code Version: 1.57.0 b4c1bd0a9b03c749ea011b06c6d2676c8091a70c x64

  • OS Version: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Upgrade vscode to latest version using apt
  2. Start vscode either by clicking the icon in Gnome, or writing “code” in the terminal

I know this bug report doesn’t help much, but I do not know what else to include. I did “apt update” this morning, and vscode stopped working after this. When writing “code” in my terminal, nothing happens. No output, nothing. The same has happened to a colleague with the same OS/machine. If there is anything more I should add (logs, etc), I would be more than happy to include it.

I noticed that there are some bug reports on the settings file being corrupted, but that does not seem to have happened to me.
