I’m using VSCode and WSL Ubuntu 20.04 to do my programming. I’m trying to install the C/C++ extension v1.20.5. After installing, it says “This extension is disabled in this workspace because it is defined to run in the Remote Extension Host. Please install the extension in WSL: Ubuntu 20.04 to enable.” On top of this message I get three options: “Install in WSL: Ubuntu-20.04” “Uninstall” and “Switch to Pre-Release Version”. Of course, I click the first option, but it doesn’t seem to install, as it puts me back in the same situation where I get the same message and three options above it.
It seems like it isn’t installed in my workspace, only the local workspace, so I looked at this Git extension disabled in VS code with WSL and for step two I do not have the section “WSL: UBUNTU: INSTALLED” and can’t follow the subsequent steps. My extension page just shows the following:
Not sure why I can’t see this section to follow the subsequent steps.
