nrf Connect in VSCode only showing "activating extension"

telzul

Hi there,

I am trying to get nRFConnect working in VSCode, but when i click on things in the welcome screen it only shows "activating extensions..." in the bottom bar. I have seen this issue several times here in the devzone, but haven't found a solution to it. Some people were able to fix it by downgrading VSCode, but that did not work for me. (One version someone reported as working is not even supported by nRFConnect anymore - the extension would not even load then.)

I tried two installing via the Toolchain Manager using SDK versions 2.5.0 and 2.4.2, and via VSCodes extension store, but to no avail.

Also it does not make a difference how i open VSCode - if by the Toolchain Manager or the "normal" way

What does work is, the extension finds my Dev Kit when i plug it in. But i cannot do anything with it.

Ah, i am running Linux (Pop OS, which is basically Ubuntu 22.04), and installed the toolchain using `nrfconnect-4.2.1-x86_64`.

Any ideas what might help? Or help to find out what is going on? Starting VSCode in verbose mode also does not yield anything that screams an issue to me:
