When I launch libreoffice, either from the openbox applications menu or from the command line, it doesn't display. I only see the libreoffice picture with the loading bar, then it disappears, and that's it, no window at all is displayed. Only when I use the switch-beetween-window keybinding (Alt + Tab) can I see the thumbnails of libreoffice main and the tips windows along with my other open windows thumbnails in the windows-switch menu, but no windows on my desktop nor even any outline of them...
What's more, when I
ps -e | grep libreoffice
no process is returned.
Every other graphical application works well, only libreoffice has theis issue so far.
*I'm using
Debian 11 (5.10162-1) for x86_64
Kernel : 5.10.0-21-amd64
And a minimal desktop environment made of
Openbox 3.6.1 and Polybar 3.5.5*
I tried to run libreoffice in safe mode to override the .config file
libreoffice --safe-mode
Same result.
I tried to reinstall libreoffice, nothing changed.

Hi I'm running Linux Mint 19 and I have just installed vscode using the snapd package manager. I've not used vscode on linux before as my usual editor is emacs. However, on a fresh new install of vscode, the integrated terminal does not work, there is just a non blinking cursor in the top left of the screen, but no prompt and no keyboard strokes are registering. This appears to be a common problem as there are a lot of posts about it if googled, but they are all for Windows versions and none of the solutions that I'm able to try do anything. I've tried to open a new terminal window, but the same thing happens I just get two terminal windows that I now cannot use. I've also tried checking the box that says Code-runner: Run In Terminal, but that does nothing either. What can I do to get this to work please, I looks to me like it is just not connected to either a bash or Zsh(which I normally use). Any help on this would be appreciated.
Instead of starting vscode with its default shell script (usually located on /usr/share/code/bin/code), the integrated terminal only works for me when starting it directly from the compiled binary (typically found on /usr/share/code/code, which is the same as the launcher created by the installer:
/usr/share/code/code --no-sandbox --unity-launch %F
While I searched for a solution in the past I've also noticed that lots of folks solved similar problems just by adding --disable-gpu flag, so might be worth checking out as well.
As I'm working with Node.js and Angular, I've currently work with two terminals where I have to switch terminal by the dropdown option.
Is there a way to have two terminals (split) in the same place
like this:
Couldn't find a way.
Update - Visual studio code has this feature starting with version 1.21
Split terminals
The Integrated Terminal can now be split such that multiple are visible at once, which can enable much easier management of terminals when you need a watch and a run command for example:
Open the article to see the GIF demonstration.
Splitting can be done by clicking the split button in the panel, through the context menu or the command Ctrl+Shift + 5.
....
Before VS Code introduced the feature
Inside vs code
You can configure your console to bash or cygwin, and then install and use tmux or screen.
Initial answer before I understood the question intent was to do it inside vs code
Outside vs code
On windows
I'm using Cmder.
It allows opening multiple cmd tabs, and configure more types of command lines / tabs - such as bash, nodejs etc.
On Linux
I got to play a bit with tmux and I heard it's a good option.
Screen shot from google:
On Mac
As Brad stated - tmux works also on Macs, so have a look at the Linux section above.
VSCode has added support to split the integrated terminal in february 2018, as requested by this issue.
At the time it is not yet released, you need to install the Insiders version of VSCode.
You have to set the keybindings yourself, the default are still being discussed here.
As of June 2021, you can select the terminal then enter command: ctrl + shift + 5.
I am really enjoying WSL and using it for a lot of stuff these days, including my Ansible workstation, also writing a lot more code in it...
Question: I can see where the WSL file system is:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/759880/where-is-the-ubuntu-file-system-root-directory-in-windows-nt-subsystem-and-vice
All of the docs tell you very clearly to stay away from the Linux file system and not to access it from the Windows instance it is running under. Fine. But! I hate to ask redundant question, but I would dearly, dearly love to be able to use full blown graphical VS Code in Windows in my text editor for WSL. Am i missing a trick somewhere for a way to do this without breaking anything?
Apologies for the non question. Hopefully it is allowed.
In vscode...
You can press the green icon bottom-left
This will open the command palette
Choose "New WSL Window"
Open a folder, you will be able to navigate from ~ to choose location in command palette
Once folder is choosen, you're set to go, vscode will display file tree from opened folder and you can do your thing :)
I have a fresh installation of Visual Studio Code 1.16.1
I have the following extensions:
Chef Extension for Visual Studio Code 0.6.3
Code Outline 0.0.10
Powershell 1.4.3
Ruby 0.15.0
I try to edit Powershell within VSCode.
Powershell is loaded (Version 5.1)
But every time I switch between one of my open files (In the current test case, an psm1 and psd1) I see a little loading bar at the top of the Explorer sidebar, just below the Explorer text.
While that's going, I can't "Run Selection", Code Outline does not update nor do I have any form of syntax-assistance while writing code UNTIL it is done. Then all of the items you tried to do, happen all at once.
Until I switch windows, everything works as expected. The moment I switch files, it starts "loading/working" again and I have to wait about 30 seconds for it to do it's thing.
I have also tried disabling all extensions (except Powershell) and I see nearly the same behavior. When switching tabs, the loading happens but I don't see the loading bar in the explorer sidebar described above.
I currently do not have a different machine to test this on, working on getting a second machine to rule out the computer.
I am looking into logging a bug but before I do, I wanted to check here.
I have some problems with eclipse indigo x64 Linux; The problem is using windowbuilder (the SWT); I tried using gwt or swing but they both cause either windowbuilder freeze or even eclipse crash...
The alike issue it seems I found related info in official eclipse indigo offline Help which says :
How can I prevent the preview window from flashing under Linux using Metacity
In order to create the graphics that you see in the design view,
WindowBuilder Pro creates an off screen window containing the various
widgets and they takes a screen snapshot of them. This works very well
under Windows, OSX and some versions of Linux. Recent versions of the
Metacity window manager (more recent than 2.1.4), however, have been
modified/"fixed" to disallow windows to be opened off screen. This
forces the preview window to appear on screen leading to an annoying
flashing effect any time you make a change. The solution is to disable
the Metacity "fully_onscreen" constraint by patching the Metacity
source code and rebuilding and installing the patched version into
your system.
Here are the steps to follow:
Download the Metacity source code from ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/metacity/
Unpack the source code tarball into any temporary directory.
Chdir into this directory (with the unpacked code).
Find window.c file and open it with your favourite texteditor.
Find a line with "window->require_fully_onscreen = TRUE;"
Replace it with "window->require_fully_onscreen = FALSE;"
Save the changes and close the editor.
Open a terminal and chdir into the directory with the source code (nice if you have already done this)
Run "./configure".
Run "make all".
Make sure that steps 9 & 10 completed without errors.
Become root (or execute the next command via "sudo" depending on the Linux you are running)
Run "make install" (or "sudo make install").
Save your work and close any application you are working with.
End your session (or press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to restart the x-server) and log in again.
You are done!
well seems like I have the snapshot really but, as I can get it, the snapshot doesn't want to dispose or similar so I have either resize the whole eclipse or press F5 to refresh (which works not at once);
I am not sure how to fix the issue in case I have xfce+adwaita installed? I don't have metacity installed; Seems like xfce works with gtk instead of metacity (correct me if I am wrong);
So my question is... how to fix the "window flashing or freezing" if I have :
xfce4
adwaita-dark theme
linux arch x64ce
Thanks
Try to install install libswt-gtk-3-jni and libswt-gtk-3-java.
