Have tried:
I have tried launching code-oss multiple times, and it shows the same error related to MESA and the virtgpu backend. I also tried checking the version using the --version flag, but the warnings still appear. I have not tried running it as root, since I am using integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 620), which should not require special handling.

The error:
The error message consists of several warnings and failures related to MESA and Vulkan, specifically about the virtgpu backend not enabling certain features and errors with creating resources like virtgpu AddressSpaceStream. Some of the key error messages include:

  • MESA: error: DRM_IOCTL_VIRTGPU_GET_CAPS failed with Permission denied
  • MESA: error: vulkan: Failed to get host connection
  • MESA: error: DRM_VIRTGPU_RESOURCE_CREATE_BLOB failed with Permission denied

What device is this on:
This is on an HP EliteBook 840 G4 with the following specs:

  • OS: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling x86_64
  • Kernel: 6.12.13-amd64
  • CPU: Intel i7-7500U
  • GPU: Integrated Intel HD Graphics 620
  • Desktop Environment: Xfce 4.20
