AGX Xavier, vs code can not work on jetpack 5.1.2

[yuri4029]

Hi, I’ve just update Jetson AGX Xavier to jet pack 5.1.2 and ubuntu up to 20.04, everything is fine but I cannot use VS code. I tried lastest vscode1.8 arm64, after installed, it did not work. I tried ver 1.5 arm64 this time I could use it for 1 hour, then I can not use. When I double click on vs icon, nothing happened. What should I do now ?

Try using the --no-sandbox flag to launch vscode. I had this problem on my Xavier.

Hi,
Please try marcwester’s suggestion. The same method is proposed in Jetson Xavier NX FAQ
