I had the same problem on my Mint. The problem was fixed after I reinstalled openjdk-11. I used the following command. Should work for Ubuntu as well.
sudo apt install openjdk-11-*Got the same error on Linux Debian 10.5 (buster). I realized that if I was launching VSC by the application itself, it was doing this error, while if I launch VSC through the terminal, all’s good. Maybe user’s settings.
