Random freeze in Ubuntu 19.04

[totszwai]

Issue Type: Bug

Latest VSCode, disabled a couple of extensions, these are the bare minimum I am using. Updated to the latest recommended video driver.
Using c_state=1, disabled gpu... I don't know what else I could try to workaround these freezes.

Can you launch with code --verbose from the terminal and attach the log when you see the freeze ?

[deepak1556]

Currently we have reports of crash from snap install #84233 , might be related. Do you see the same issue when you use the deb package https://code.visualstudio.com/ ?

I have the same issues with Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS and VS Code version: 1.40.2

I uninstalled the snap version and installed from .deb but it still freezes after random time.

So I don't think it has anything to do with snap.

I reverted back to VS Code 1.39.2 and everything works fine.

The bug was introduced with version 1.40

Well, I have to 'hard-reset' my laptop after it completely freezes. Its just wont react to anything anymore. Is the log still retrieveable after restart?

[vadjs]

I have exactly same situation.
Before last VS Code update i had freezes very rare - probably once per several days. After last VS Code update i have deadly PC freezes every 10 minutes.

@deepak1556 deb package has this problem too.

BTW, I've since switched to use Insider version and haven't experience the issue... so something from the Code-Insider is not getting carry over to the normal version.

[MauriceBuiten]

Ok, after trying to turn off extensions, I found out that when I turn of the Microsoft TSLint extension, I no longer have crashes so far. So for me that was the culprit.

So for some reason after VS code updated to 1.40 it has issues with the Microsoft TSLint extension.

[deepak1556]

@MauriceBuiten do you see issue with the extension in the insiders build https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/ ?

[MauriceBuiten]

@deepak1556 I have used the insiders version for 2 days now with Microsoft TSLint running, and I have not experienced any freezes so far.

So its looking good!

Thanks for testing @MauriceBuiten , I believe the issue you were facing is #85919

@totszwai @vadjs can you confirm how does it look on your machine with latest insiders ?

Closing issue for milestone #91278, fix should be available in stable soon.
