Linux

Fonts showing up as rectangles

The following command should help:

rm -rf ~/.cache/fontconfig
rm -rf ~/snap/codium/common/.cache
fc-cache -r

Global menu workaround for KDE

Install these packages on Fedora:

• libdbusmenu-devel
• dbus-glib-devel
• libdbusmenu

On Ubuntu this package is called libdbusmenu-glib4.

macOS

Since the App is signed with a self-signed certificate, on the first launch, you might see the following messages:

App can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software

You can right-click the App and choose Open.

"VSCodium.app" is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.

The following command will remove the quarantine attribute.

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/VSCodium.app
