vscode: vs code insiders snap version crashes on startup

VSCode Version: don’t know, I uninstalled it
OS Version: ubuntu 20.04

Steps to Reproduce:

click on icon
vs code insiders opens and closes right away I tried rebooting, uninstall/reinstall, still crashes (probably not related, but slack recently started doing exact same crash)

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No I don’t know how.

This appears to be a snap issue.

I uninstalled the snap (https://snapcraft.io/install/code-insiders/ubuntu) and re-installed via ppa and apt (instructions: https://wiki.debian.org/VisualStudioCode) and it is working fine.

sudo snap remove --purge code-insiders
sudo apt -y install code-insiders

Tomorrow’s insider will contain the fix, incase you want to check on a one time test build https://az764295.vo.msecnd.net/insider/b640b5b29bffcab12e7e56ff8021164231849cc6/code-insider-1598483691.snap

I have a possible workaround based on https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/2211120, will update here once new build is available for testing.

fyi, nothing saves to /tmp/vscode-crash if that is added.
