VScode crashes on launch and fills up my drive. (ubuntu 26.04) #320258

Description

@Freddycat

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

  • VS Code Version: 1.123.0
  • OS Version: Ubuntu 26.04 (with i3wm window manager using x11)

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open vscode
  2. VScode doesn't open and fills up my hard drive to 0 with system logs.

I've had a lot of issues with vscode crashing recently even before upgrading to 26.04, and it would fill up my drive then too, with some sort of error loop in system logs that was unreadable. (like 50-100 gigs of logs unless I hard reboot) Now I've upgraded to ubuntu 26.04 and it does not open at all and fills the drive every time. Attached is a couple of logs from more recent crashes.
If I open vscode with --verbose, before crashing it does complain about missing wayland driver. (I am using i3wm window manager which uses x11)
