[solved] vscode only showing black interfaces with no content
Suddenly I see only the shades of the GUI any Idea how to fix this? using Plasma x11
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-gpuargument, the desktop file editing - I did for convenience.Here's how you can find . desktop files
Desktop file reference.- easy format
First, thank you! Sadly, this didn't help. In ended up deleting (renaming)
~/.config/Codewhich helped. Luckily enough all the plugins survived because they are installed under~/.vscodeThat's interesting. I am on GNOME/Wayland and the above flag helped.
Had this issue not long ago, check out this comment:

That fixed it for me
This worked for me as well, thanks!
Permanently Deleted
I am on X11. rebooting, reinstalling and
code --disable-gpudidn't help. Only deleting the config files. However, reading other comments it seemscode --disable-gpuseems 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.
