Vscode not starting/opening

@user101 what happens if you move the libappprotection.so file, as well as temporarily move /etc/ld.so.preload file (move them away into a backup location, e.g. your home dir)?

OK, I did a bit of digging, this is setup by Citrix https://www.citrix.com/downloads/workspace-app/linux/workspace-app-for-linux-latest.html

And it seems to impact many applications:

The fact that this gets preloaded, breaks the rpaths setup by code itself to load its own libraries leading to the conflict.

so I just moved /etc/ld.so.preload to home dir and now its opening and working fine… <3

Okay so I do have citrix workspace installed… I’ll try re-installing it without the app protection.

That make sense :slight_smile: Now you need to see if you can use the sdk without the library in place.

so should I move libappprotection.so file as well?

So I installed citrix workspace without app protection.
Tried to move ld.so.preload back to /etc after reboot couldn’t login via gui so removed ld.so.preload from etc.
So the solution was to remove the ld.so.preload file from /etc
Thanks alot.
