[Ubuntu 20.4 LTS] Extension doesn't work

[tynguyen2k1]

I tried #6, the command works but vscode-background doesn't seem to work. Thanks for the help!

You have to install vscode via download page as a deb package. The extension works by modifying a css file inside installation directory, but Snaps are read-only.

So how can I authorize it? Thanks you !

You cannot modify files inside a snap - they are like sealed archives. You need to remove snap and reinstall vscode as a normal application from a .deb package (https://code.visualstudio.com/download)

If you already did, then you have to grant access to .css file to yourself
First, find the file:
sudo find / -name "workbench.desktop.main.css"
Then
sudo chown ${whoami} [location of the css file]

Am I doing it right?

Well I guess not :) I'm not on linux now so I cannot tell more. sudo chown ty "path" should work...
