I just installed VScode with anaconda on Ubuntu 18.04 and after installation it won't open.

I did the same on Ubuntu 16 LTS but it worked fine. I tried to uninstall it from anaconda navigator and install it with this procedure but it's still not working. When I click on the icon just nothing happens.

 code --verbose 

Gtk-Message: 17:32:24.579: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar" 
Gtk-Message: 17:32:24.621: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" [main 4:32:25 PM] Startup error: ,,

  • Are you sure you are running with sudo? – pro neon May 28 '18 at 14:05

    vscode should not be run with sudo @proneon – George Udosen May 28 '18 at 14:06
  • But the message just says " permission denied " . – pro neon May 28 '18 at 14:07
  • Also I had once the same issue and it worked fine when I run with sudo. But I had this problem in ubuntu 16.04 – pro neon May 28 '18 at 14:07
  • That's perhaps becos OP might have installed it wrong or there are issues with with some startup files. Programs are installed usually with sudo but should run without it – George Udosen May 28 '18 at 14:09
  • Thanks. I just fixed the errors shows in code --verbose and it works now – mohsen74x May 28 '18 at 14:21
  • @proneon in my case i give the permission with sudo chown -R mohsen74x:staff – mohsen74x May 28 '18 at 14:23
  • @mohsen74persian please post it as an answer to your OP, glad you fixed it – George Udosen May 28 '18 at 14:30

I fixed it like this:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall overlay-scrollbar-gtk2
sudo apt install libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module

and for permission:

sudo chown -R mohsen74x:staff /home/mohsen74x/.config/Code

this solved my problem.
