If the VSCode extension market cannot be loaded, you can follow the following steps to solve the problem: 1. Check the network connection and proxy settings to ensure that you can access marketplace.visualstudio.com, and clear or configure the proxy if necessary; 2. Clear the cache file and reinstall VSCode, delete the ~/.vscode/cache and temp directories, or reinstall the software; 3. Modify the DNS setting to 8.8.8.8 or replace the domestic mirror source to optimize network resolution; 4. Use the developer tools to view the logs and locate specific errors such as timeout or domain name resolution failure. The above methods can usually solve the problem.

If you find that the Extensions Marketplace cannot load when using VSCode on Linux, this is really annoying. The reason may be network, configuration or permissions issues, but in most cases there are corresponding solutions.

Check network connections and proxy settings

VSCode requires internet access to the extended market. First, make sure that your system can access the Internet normally:

• Try to open http://m.miracleart.cn/link/6f75e53f7550af83f27709d87ab7ab43 in your browser to see if it can load normally.

• If you use a proxy, you need to check the proxy settings of VSCode:

  

  Run the following command in the terminal to view the proxy settings in the current environment variable:

   echo $http_proxy
  echo $https_proxy

  If the proxy is set but has expired, you can temporarily clear:

   unset http_proxy
  unset https_proxy

  Or manually set up the proxy in VSCode:

  • Open the Command Panel (Ctrl Shift P)
  • Enter and select Preferences: Configure Proxy Settings

Clear VSCode cache and reinstall extended market components

Sometimes the cache file is corrupted and the extension market cannot be loaded. You can try to clean the cache directory:

 rm -rf ~/.vscode/cache
rm -rf ~/.vscode/temp

If you are installing the official .deb or .rpm package, the path is usually like this. If you are using Snap or Flatpak installation, the path may be different, such as:

 ~/.var/app/com.visualstudio.code/cache/

In addition, try reinstalling VSCode:

 sudo apt remove code
sudo apt install code

Or download the latest version from the official website and install it manually.

Check DNS settings or change source

Some users can solve the problem by changing DNS, such as changing it to Google's public DNS:

 8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4

If your network restricts certain domain name resolution, you can also try to modify the /etc/resolv.conf file to add the above DNS address.

In addition, the default software source of some Linux distributions may be slow or unstable. It is recommended to switch to domestic mirror sources, such as Alibaba Cloud, Tsinghua Source, etc.

The last detail: See what the log says

VSCode comes with developer tools to check whether there are error messages:

• Open the Command Panel (Ctrl Shift P)
• Enter and select Developer: Toggle Developer Tools
• Switch to the "Network" tab page, refresh the extended market page, and see if there is any request failure

If there is an error like ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT or ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED , it can basically be determined that it is a network or DNS problem.

Basically these common troubleshooting methods. Most of the time, it can be done by changing the network environment or clearing the cache. Although it is not complicated, it is easy to ignore some small details.
