2020-11-09 VSCode在Ubuntu+Snap下无法启动的解决

在Ubuntu的Snap下安装了VS Code无法启动

sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install code --classic
mkdir ($id -u)
sudo mv ($id -u) /run/user/
code &
[1] 18060

安装snap和code以后，运行code毫无反应结束。

执行code verbose

执行code verbose如下，以后发现是X-Window打不开。详细内容请见附录。

code --verbose
...
Xlib:  extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":1".
Xlib:  extension "XInputExtension" missing on display ":1".
[12192:1109/190657.768585:ERROR:electron_browser_main_parts.cc(200)] X IO error received (X server probably went away)

解决

参考这个帖子
Unable to open VS Code on Ubuntu VM instance on Google Cloud
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/86372

create the modified lib
mkdir ~/lib
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1 ~/lib
sed -i 's/BIG-REQUESTS/_IG-REQUESTS/' ~/lib/libxcb.so.1
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib code #don't know if that's still necessary

unmount the snap so it can be modified and copy the modified lib into /usr/share/code/ --> then rebuild the snap and copy it back to its original location
sudo umount /snap/code/21
sudo unsquashfs /var/lib/snapd/snaps/code_21.snap
sudo cp '/home/ubuntu/lib/libxcb.so.1' /home/ubuntu/squashfs-root/usr/share/code/
sudo mksquashfs squashfs-root code_21.snap
sudo cp code_21.snap /var/lib/snapd/snaps/code_21.snap
sudo mount -t squashfs -o ro,nodev,relatime,x-gdu.hide /var/lib/snapd/snaps/code_21.snap /snap/code/21
