I am getting the following:



Unable to download updates from "extensions.gnome.org":
[*/*/*/source/shell-extensions/*] failed to download https://
extensions.gnome.org//static/extensions.json: Cannot
resolve hostname


I am running the out of the box Ubuntu Software v3.28.1, which I agree is a nice way to manage the software on my system.



I was able to install and launch PyCharm Pro with no issues, though I may try the snap later. I was also able to install and launch Atom,
VLC, Zoom,
Chromium, Google Chrome and VirtualBox without issues, so when time permits I'm guessing I need to go upstream into source code, as I'd like to understand where the error message came from and if it means anything.



The message did not reappear when I restarted the machine.



I haven't yet tried to figure out steps to reproduce.

  • I also faced the same problem. But after running sudo apt update it got fixed.

    Could you please edit your question to include the output of host extensions.gnome.org and host extensions.gnome.org 8.8.8.8? Thanks.

  • @DavidFoerster I'm having a similar issue and tried running those commands. What is the expected output of these, do you have any documentation on what these should do? Thanks.
