vscodium and vscode both hangs when trying to open a folder.

I am not sure when this problem started or if an update broke it. But At least until a couple months ago this problem didn't exist.
When ever I try to open up a folder inside vscodium or vscode it hangs and I have to manually kill it.

I am currently using i3wm with tui-greet as my login manager so if some env variables are not set I wont be surprised.

Starting vscodium in verbose mode and opening the folder gives the following.

invoking IsSupported() failed for remote volume monitor with dbus name org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor:: Timeout was reached (g-io-error-quark, 24)
(codium:947957): GVFS-WARNING **: 13:19:57.449: The peer-to-peer connection failed: Timeout was reached. Falling back to the session bus. Your application is probably missing --filesystem=xdg-run/gvfsd privileges.

Any Help would be appreciated.

Re: vscodium and vscode both hangs when trying to open a folder.

The error indicates it's trying to access resources via udisks2 through dbus activation. Is udisks2 installed? Is your dbus running ok? code/electron is notorious for depending on everything-under-the-sun, so it would not surprise me if there's some optional or "assumed" dependency you don't have installed.
