I still can reach the folder by windows and open it in vscode, its just it wasnt like this since last vscode update.

[aeschli]

Can you run bash -x $(which code) to get more information?
Also code --verbose

[SHJordan]

code --verbose

Sadly it seems not to be working at all.

[SHJordan]

which code worked for me:
/mnt/c/Program Files/Microsoft VS Code/bin/code

[aeschli]

Sorry, forgot the quotes:
bash -x "$(which code)"

This is the second time this happens to me, my work around is to make a backup of my projects folder and reinstal ubuntu for wsl.

[Edmund-Shi]

I got the same issue in WSL 2, Ubuntu 18.04. After I switch WSL 2 to WSL using wsl --set-version Ubuntu 1, I still got the same issue.

[aeschli]

The segmentation fault occurs when running the windows exe of code (/mnt/c/Users/andre/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe)

Must be a WSL issue. Maybe related to https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/5274
@drewhemm You can try WSLENV="" VSCODE_WSL_DEBUG_INFO=true code .

[drewhemm]

I solved this by renaming the ~/.vscode-server directory to ~/.vscode-server.bak and then re-opening VSC. I also tried a few things like re-creating my WSL instance, but as soon as I copied the contents of my home directory over, I got the segmentation fault again.

I have copied my extensions over from the .bak folder, so it is something else that is causing the issue.

[drewhemm]

I also used the 'opportunity' to move over to the newer Ubuntu 20.04 LTS WSL distribution. I used a regex (apt install (.+) on /var/log/apt/history.log) to get the names of all the apt packages I had installed on my previous instance and then install them all in one go. Everything else I need is in my home folder (like pip packages installed with pip install --user ansible), so the transition was quite seamless.

Thanks for @drewhemm. This works for me!

The segmentation fault occurs when running the windows exe of code (/mnt/c/Users/andre/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/Code.exe)

Must be a WSL issue. Maybe related to microsoft/WSL#5274
@drewhemm You can try WSLENV="" VSCODE_WSL_DEBUG_INFO=true code .

this solution(WSLENV="") worked for me, thanks.

We have two issues on segmentation faults
a. when opening VSCode with code .
b. when VSCode is open but starting the remote server fails

This issue is for a.
It seems to be a WSL issue related to WSLENV that should be fixed soon: microsoft/WSL#5274
In the meantime set your WSLENV to empty or run with WSLENV="" code .

For b. we have https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-remote-release/issues/3556

Closing this issue.
