Hey, I recently installed unity on linux and tried connecting Unity with Vscode. Turns out it’s one big enigma, I searched all forums and either the answer was one windows or it just didn’t work.
The weird part is that it worked at some point, I remember yesterday i got it to work but today i wake up eager to continue working on my project, and boom no suggestions.
Important:
I am getting, “Some projects have trouble loading” from the c# extension I assume it is somehow related. here is the output:

I installed everything needed(.NET, C# extension, Unity Tools) yet it is still not working.
Basic C# suggestions are working.
I also put the binary file of vscode as the external tool of unity
hi! I tried what you suggested but unfortunately it didn’t help. Thank you for trying to help though. I think ill just install a windows VM, because i remember easily setting Intellisense up there
I had lots of problems with setting up VSCode as well after a system crash I had. You have the C# extension set up so that is good, you also need the extension called Unity Snippets, also if you want to do debugging there is an extension for that too, you can find it by searching for unity debugger.
Now the solution for me (that I couldn’t find online, only the problem) was to update the VSCode package inside of Unity. Yes there is a package for VSCode, I was surprised. You jost go: Window → Package Manager → Search for Visual Studio Code Editor → Press the Update button
Thanks you but the package manager said it’s up to date :/. also sadly the vm idea went horribly wrong so yeah im stuck again with 0.5% auto-completion.
EDIT: Thanks for the extensions too
Thanks for the reply, first of all now when i do “sudo apt update” i get this output

Second im not sure when exactly you want me to put the FrameworkPathOverride, I found a .bash_profile.save in home but didn’t find a .bash_profile. I put it there and it didn’t work. do you mind helping here? I actually didn’t try this fix and I think it might actually work
I had the same issue with different versions:
Unity 2020.3.0f1
Visual Studio 2019 Mac
Visual Studio Code Editor 1.2.3
Visual Studio Editor 2.0.7
I downgraded both one version to 1.2.2 and 2.0.5 and then it worked again!
I found a solution without downgrading. I too was getting the error “Omnisharp server is not running” and downgrading didn’t work for me. At one point it fixed itself but then stopped working again in the next session. This solution below seems to fix it permanently.
Go to settings.json in the .vscode folder
Put this line in just above “files.exclude”:
“omnisharp.useModernNet”: false,
Save settings.json
You should get a prompt asking if you want to restart OmniSharp. Say yes. It might now already be fixed, but if it complains that the “OmniSharp server is not running” goto step 5
Restart vscode
Remove the line mentioned in step 2, save, hit “restart OmniSharp” on the prompt, put the line back in again, save, hit “restart OmniSharp”.
Sorry, new to VS Code and Unity where. Where exactly do I go to run the expory command? export FrameworkPathOverride=/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/Current.
