Ubuntu – vs code: Error while fetching extensions. Failed to fetch

When I try to search some extensions in vs code marketplace list of exts not appears, when I met this problem the load was infinite without some errors, after I start to solve this, the error appears.

My OS is Ubuntu 24.04.1
vscode version is 1.93.1 x64

Problems starts when I update vs code, when I open vsc after upd .NET extensions show me errors in panel in bottom, and my font not work anymore.

For first I try to disable and remove .NET extensions, does not work, after I remove font, I remove all from user config.json and workspace config.json, still not work. I fully reinstall vs code using guids, I clear hidden dir and used this guid for installation https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux. The problem still appears. I don’t know where to look in vs code to understand what is this problem.

One thing when I installing vs code in output in terminal on button I got this warning:

Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file ‘/home/myme/Documents/code_1.92.2-1723660989_amd64.deb’ couldn’t be accessed by user ‘_apt’. – pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)

I don’t remember whether I got this warning when i install it for first time or not. As I has read I can ignore this warning.

Else I tried to install previous version 1.92.2, and I have same problem. And I tried to install it from Document directory.

What can I try next?

    I got handle it, it was so dumb from my side to think this is pc problem. So if you live in rassia or some place like this, you have to use proxy.

    1. open vs code, open command platte (i used Ctrl + Shift + P) write Preferences: Open Settings (JSON), i choose user.
    2. add to this file these:
      "http.proxySupport": "on",
      "http.proxy": "http://your-proxy-address:port",
      "http.proxyAuthorization": "Basic <base64-encoded-username-password>",
    3. save, restart.

    OR use vpn

    This answer still hasn’t solved my problem. I encountered the same issue with the prompt "Error while fetching extensions. Failed to fetch", but it’s really a computer problem. I turned on VPN once while running vsCode normally, and since then my vsCode has been like this. I couldn’t find any extensions.

    I tried uninstalling and deleting the configuration folder, which made the situation worse. I even cleared all the extensions I had before! I have also tried changing the system’s proxy files, resetting the network in computer settings, and turning on and off VPN again, but none of these have worked.

    Oh my god, what should I do? Do I have to reinstall the system!?
