Undefined Symbol Error While trying to launch Application from a snap packaged VSCode
Metadata
Current evaluation
User reports undefined symbol error in libpthread when launching apps from snap-packaged VSCode on core20; no maintainer response in 1247 days
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 1247 days old with zero maintainer response or activity. The reported error (undefined symbol __libc_pthread_init in core20's libpthread) appears to be a runtime compatibility issue with the core20 base snap rather than a snapcraft bug, and it is unclear if this remains relevant given the age and potential core20 updates.

close stale | Reports a snap/core20 libpthread symbol lookup error when launching apps from VSCode. No maintainer interaction, zero comments, and references external discussions about a known Ubuntu 22.04 snap compatibility issue. Now stale and likely irrelevant due to snap environment updates. |
