When installing code on a new RHEL8.10 instance the installation succeeded but upon launching code it exits silently without error message. In my case I found with strace it exited after failing to locate libX11-xcb. After installing libX11-xcb the application starts.

The missing dependency was mentioned in #95627 but deemed a duplicate of #17142 which was deemed closed by #143415. However libX11-xcb is not in the list of dependencies that were added.

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

  • VS Code Version: 1.99.3
  • OS Version: RHEL8.10

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Remove libX11-xcb.so
  2. Launch code
