I'm facing an annoying problem which just popped out of the blue overnight: VScode will not, under any circumstances connect to my raspberry pi 4 via ssh. I'm using VScode insiders with the remote-ssh extension and it worked like a charm the weeks before.
What works:
- Putty connects seamlessly over LAN or WiFi.
- ssh is enabled on rpi4
- i am using the correct IP which i get from hostname -I in the terminal
What doesn't work:
neither "raspberrypi" nor "my correct IP" work. Right after selecting "Linux" in the selection process it throws the error "Could not establish connection to "my correct IP""
uninstalling VScode insiders and deleting all related files in docs and appdata changes nothing after reinstallation
What i observed:
This happened to me before in VScode for no reason and was unfixable. On a forum post someone recommended using insiders, which fixed the problem but now VScode insiders seems to be affected by this as well. Whenever a connection couldn't be established, two problems pop up in my extensions tab:
"Error while loading extensions. Error"
"We cannot conect to the Marketplace at this time, please try again later."
Especially the last one gives me a feeling that this is a bug within VScode. I'll gladly take the blame if it's on my behalf, i just want to fix the problem.
Similar things have been mentioned here:
"Extension host terminated unexpectedly" in vs code
Remote SSH in Visual Studio Code does not work
but are unsolved or don't quite fit my description. Thank you for your time and help.
