Reproduction Steps

1.Check permissions

Make sure you have the proper permissions to install software on your computer. On Linux systems, you may need to use sudo:

bash
Copy the code
sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-8.0
5 Check the error logs
Sometimes detailed error logs can provide more information about the problem. Check the console for additional messages that may indicate what went wrong.

Use a different installation tool

You can try using a different installation tool, such as snap on Ubuntu:

bash
Copy the code
sudo snap install dotnet-sdk --classic
7 Install the previous version
If the latest version causes problems, try installing the previous stable version of .NET.

Expected Behavior

After following these steps, it should return to normal

Do you have a proxy? If so, we have an extension setting where you may need to set the proxy url.

are these related? #1850

I see this message although curl www.google.com on the machine gives a response and I am connecting to the machine over ssh so it definitely has an internet connection.

EDIT: updated with new screenshots not seen before:

Yes, they are related. That offline check only runs after it's already failed so its just obfuscating the real reason it failed. If you try to create a new issue or open the extensions log folder and then go to our extension (runtime extension) log, the log will have the true reason for the failure

[Alex-ley-scrub]

I solved it by just running the command manually with sudo:

sudo "/home/alex/.vscode-server/extensions/ms-dotnettools.vscode-dotnet-runtime-2.1.5/dist/install scripts/dotnet-install.sh" -InstallDir "/home/alex/.vscode-server/data/User/globalStorage/ms-dotnettools.vscode-dotnet-runtime/.dotnet/8.0.8~x64" -Version 8.0.8 -Verbose -Runtime dotnet -Architecture x64

next start up no longer shows the error message:
