Any update on this? I can provide any logs if needed

Is the dialog not opening at all or opening behind the main window?

Can you please follow the steps in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues to get at more details around the crash and attach the result here? Thanks!

I posted on Reddit and someone mentioned this as well. So I minimized VSCode and it would appear the dialog is not opening at all

I tried to follow the steps, but no crash log was generated. My guess is simply because it doesn't crash lol. It just does nothing. It still runs and everything is fine, just without the file open/folder open dialog showing

Is there a way to put it into verbose logging mode? Or something similar?

Thanks for the update! I'm more than willing to generate/test anything you need!

Please see if you can find any logged output that could help us find the source of the issue:

• run code --verbose from the command line
• reproduce the issue
• attach the log files you find from running the command "Open Logs Folder"

Thanks!

Sorry for the delay here, could you also try our insiders version https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders and confirm if the issue is present.

Hey friends!

Thanks for the --verbose switch. Can't believe I didn't try that myself lol.
Some context - I am using Ubuntu ARM64 inside an andronix (proot) environment.

After running code --verbose, I was able to see the logs, the error comes from this:
[18937:1001/202935.046812:ERROR:select_file_dialog_linux_portal.cc(769)] Portal returned error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Portal operation not allowed: Unable to open /proc/18937/root

Which I have been having other issues with /proc stuff in this build. But found solutions for.

I have been using andronix cause I found it first, this lead me to discover proot-distro which seems to fix the /proc issues.

I tested out an installation of ubuntu under proot-distro, and vscode successfully shows the open file dialog.

Also, weirdly, the error was output to the terminal, instead of the log files. So I redirected all output to a file instead. Here it is:
vscode.log

I guess this can be marked solved then. Not sure if its worth updating vscode to be able to open dialogs without the /proc accessor. Which, maybe it is cause all other programs can open files like geany, mousepad, etc. Its up to you. But I think I will go ahead and get proot-distro setup for myself. Which ultimately fixes this issue

Glad you were able to identify the issue.

We don't have control over this, it is a call made by the portal implementation on the distro.

I see! Thanks a lot for helping me figure it out and find a solution! Seriously appreciate it
