ide install vscode or ide vscode freezes at "installing plugins" step on Linux #1844

@ducminh02

Description

@ducminh02

Actual behavior

When executing the command ide install vscode or ide vscode on a Linux system, the installation process progresses normally until it reaches the step for installing VS Code plugins/extensions. At this point, the process completely freezes and hangs indefinitely. No further output or error message is shown, and the user cannot continue from this point, requiring a manual termination of the command (e.g., via Ctrl+C).

Reproduce

  1. Open a terminal in a Linux environment.
  2. Run the command: ide install vscode
  3. Wait for the tool installation to proceed to the plugin installation phase.
  4. Observe that the process hangs indefinitely and does not complete or exit.

Expected behavior

well it should actually finish installing or opens vscode
