Can't login with Chromium or Opera on Ubuntu
I can't login on my Ubuntu on Live Share with Chromium or Opera. It does work when I change the default browser to Firefox.
Program: VSCode OS: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
How the error occured:
- Installed Live Share Extension
- Click on 'Invite participants'
- Click on message to login
- Select 'Login with Microsoft'
- Browser opens (Chromium or Opera doesn't matter)
- Login to account (private or professional account didn't matter)
- Click on 'proceed'
- Pop up in browser occurs with something like: 'are you sure to let website execute xdg-open'
- Click on 'accept'
- nothing happens, VSCode doesn't receive anything
First I tried Opera, then Chromium and at the end Firefox
As a workaround, can you try running this command: Live Share: Disable VSCode account authentication? This will revert the authentication to the old flow. Please let us know if this unblocks you.
@BrunoGuardia this looks like another issue in built-in auth flow in VSCode. If it is so, we should bug them.
