vscode snap version fails to encrypt using the encryptionService

[controldev]

• VS Code Version: 1.53.2
• OS Version: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run the program in any way
2. Sit back and watch

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

VS code automatically crashes and closes a few seconds after start up, with no popup or other information provided.
I tried purging (including all settings), reinstalling (both through snap and apt), but no luck.

Below are the only logs visible after running Code with
code --disable-extensions

I wanted to try changing git.enabled to false in settings.json, but the path indicated in the official docs (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings) does not contain settings.json.

Any idea how I can send you the .dmp file @bpasero? GitHub won't accept it, I can send it via email as the link you provided suggests.

@controldev GH will accept it if you first create a zip archive, but mail is also fine.

@deepak1556 can you work your magic to symbolify?

Hey guys I'm having the same issue with VSCode(non snap version) crashing upon start in a new install of Ubuntu 20.04. Snap version works fine but also takes about 1 minute to open on the very first time after a system restart.

Here are my logs for the crash vscode_crash_logs_Ubuntu_20.04.zip

Both the reports point to SIGABRT from the vscode-encrypt module, we currently don't generate debug symbols for the module. Will upload the symbolized dump tomorrow.
