VSCode crashes | Package 'code' isn't signed with proper key

Ask Fedora
1

Hello, I tried starting vscode today which would not start. Upon looking at the logs, i noticed the following:

systemd-coredump[16850]: Process 16703 (code) of user 1000 dumped 
 Module vscode-sqlite3.node without build-id.
...
...
Package 'code' isn't signed with proper key

Any one else experience this? I have not touched anything key related since I installed vscode.

Is it something to be concerned about?
Also how should I proceed with fixing?

Thanks!

Added f40, workstation

Added desktop, gpg, vscode

Removed desktop, f40, gpg, vscode, workstation

Follow the official instruction to import the key:
Running Visual Studio Code on Linux

6

Yes, I tried reinstalling following those instructions and the result was still the same unfortunately.

7

Check if the problem persists when testing a new user with default profile settings.

I’m not using VSCode but VSCodium flatpak, also crash notification spam, though I’m not sure if it’s related.

EDIT: Nope nvm, it’s SELinux execheap denial.

I think I found the issue, but not sure why it has happened out of no where.

I had an alias for code set to code --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland.

I have just verified, that Im able to run VSCode under XWayland, but running it in Wayland with the above args results in Package 'code' isn't signed with proper key.

Any ideas?

This is the coredump I see using journalctl --since=now -f when I run code --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland:

fedora abrt-server[8779]: Package 'code' isn't signed with proper key
11

Could this issue be nvidia related?

I can open VSCode if i pass the --disable-gpu flag.

code --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --disable-gpu

Hopefully someone can chime in.

12

Does the log show a signal or error that triggered the core dump? “Package ‘code’ isn’t signed with proper key” is from abrt and it’s not related to the crash itself[1].
For example, the execheap crash gives:

audit[4543]: AVC avc:  denied  { execheap } for  pid=4543 comm="codium" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=process permissive=0
audit[4543]: ANOM_ABEND auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 ses=3 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 pid=4543 comm="codium" exe="/app/share/codium/codium" sig=6 res=1

When I follow the log using journalctl --since=now -f, I do see

ANOM_ABEND auid=1000 uid=1000 gid=1000 ses=3 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 pid=5252 comm="code" exe="/usr/share/code/code" sig=5 res=1
14

Is there a workaround?

15

Hmm… not sure besides the one you posted, since the error is not known. That log message says something (probably went wrong and) sent a SIGTRAP.

Since it suddenly stopped working, the usual suggestions are new user / fresh system / Live USB. Plus also the unofficial VSCode flatpak (doesn’t use system dependencies).
TBH I’m using AMD/Mesa so I don’t know the best way to rule out nVidia driver problem.

16

Definitely seems to be nvidia related. I connected to the iGPU and vscode was able to open.
Not sure where to go from here :upside_down_face:
