GitHub Copilot not making suggestions in VS Code

I'm in Ubuntu 22.04.

I installed the latest extension of Github Copilot, and updated VS Code to the latest version.

In the bottom right, I see the Copilot icon that toggles it. You can see in the picture below that when I click it, I get prompted to disable it. So it should be enabled already.

This is my output in the View dropdown:

Not installing CopilotChat- Not VS Code Insiders

I have closed and re-opened VS Code. I have rebooted my machine. I've tried multiple languages (C++ and Python), tried opening different folders, and tried new vs. existing files.

I am signed into Github, and have my settings synced. You can see that in the image below.

Why is this happening, and what should I do to resolve this?

Solution

  • I found the issue. The settings.json file had disabled inline suggestions, despite having enabled them in the settings UI. I updated the line to be

    "editor.inlineSuggest.enabled": true,

    and that fixed it.
