Vscode doesn't work

1

OS: Pop!_OS
Flatpak 1.14.6

Hello everyone! I’m Brazilian so english is not my native language, so i apologize for any mistakes.

I Downloaded the flatpak version of Vscode on Pop_shop, but it dosen’t open. I also tried running it via terminal, but it didn’t work either. As i’m a new linux user, i feel quit stuck as to what to do. Can anyone help me?

~$ flatpak run com.visualstudio.code
bwrap: execvp code: No such file or directory

I think a first good step would be to make sure your on a current flatpak version so update to 1.16

You override the PATH environment variable which breaks the app sandbox (e.g. this fails, too: flatpak run --env=PATH=$PATH com.vscodium.codium).

  • If you add $PATH to the PATH override then flatpak does not expand this!
  • Make sure that you always add the default PATH, too: /app/bin:/usr/bin.

It seems to help. I will try to understand why I did this and how I could overcome the problem. Thank you.
