I can't upgrade to the new version 1.101.0, installed 1.100.3. I get the following error after waiting ~4 minutes.
curl: (35) Recv failure: The connection is broken by the other side

Interruption...Anyone else not getting a window when using "window.titleBarStyle": "native"?
@l4v3nx the error indicates that chrome-sandbox should have mode 4755 and according to your output it has 0755. Run chmod 4755 /opt/visual-studio-code/chrome-sandbox as root.
installed with yay, after launching (no flags) got the following error:
$ code --verbose
[235785:0524/230447.278958:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(163)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/visual-studio-code/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

Failed with yay so I downloaded the tarball and install it manually with makepkg -si but still can't update, got this error:
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.100.2/linux-x64/stable
Would you depends=(ripgrep);ln -sf /usr/bin/rg /pathto/app/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep/bin/rg (code of Arch do)?
This was the original upstream issue for icu69. I don't use live share, so I'll remove it if anyone can confirm it's no longer needed.
Is icu69 still valid for ms-vsliveshare.vsliveshare-1.0.5948 ? I could not find any reason from it.
Where is the binary calls icu69 optionally?
Edit: would anyone ldd ing binary from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/liveshare/use/install-live-share-visual-studio-code ?

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (read before flagging or commenting!)
This is the official binary distribution from Microsoft. The one in the community repo is an unofficial build made from source. Beyond the licence difference and branding, there are some proprietary features not available in the open-source version.
This package depends on both the official tarball and files from GitHub. Please check this page AND this page before flagging as out-of-date. If the new version isn't on both pages, this package cannot be updated! If you can see the new version on both pages, but the AUR package is still not updated, flag it and give it time. It's usually done within hours.
Sometimes AUR helpers do weird things. Download the tarball and install it manually with
makepkg -si. If that works, report the problem to your AUR helper's upstream, not here.xdg-openuses vscode, not my file manager! How do I fix this?Install
shared-mime-info-gnomegnome-sessionwhich now includes mimemapps.Just because $X is not required to open the app, doesn't mean there is nothing that depends on it. Always search the comment history on AUR to see if that dependency has been previously discussed before writing your own comment. Still nothing? Then use namcap to make sure it's really not needed. If namcap doesn't complain, please leave a comment here and I'll investigate.
The problem might be a packaging issue (wrong paths, dependencies, icons), so please write a comment here first. If you don't get a reply, or if someone says it's an upstream issue, you can report it on GitHub.
No, you won't get a reply. Please stop doing this. Leave a comment here instead and be patient.
