Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS - Something went wrong error on activating neon dreams

[shunmusiva]

I tried to activate neon glow by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+P and choosing to enable neon glow. But getting the 'Something went wrong error'. Didn't able to trace the issue.

i found a solution after some search.

in a few steps: open your vscode open terminal type whereis code code the path (it'll most-likely be /usr/share/code) type sudo chown -R YOUR_USERNAME /usr/share/code go back to vscode , enable the neon dreams it'll ask for a reload , reload it , congrats you just activated it! then give the ownership of vscode back to the system sudo chown -R root /usr/share/code

I have installed my vscode from snap store so the location of code seems to be under snap/bin/. But I have tried the above method anyway still getting the same 'Something went wrong error' showing on bottom right of VS code. Anyway thanks for the reply 🙌🏼

Have the same problem. Installed with snap and don't work. Will try to uninstall and install by command line
