Hi,  
I had installed Modern Fortran Extension for VS code in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS using  
`ext install fortran-lang.linter-gfortran`  
However it is unable to initialize fortls.  
Installed fortls through pipx.

It’s not showing any features like - peek definition …  
Any idea of whats wrong with my installation ?

Please check the fortls path properly.  
Fortran Fortls Path →   
It should be /home/your\_user\_name/.local/bin/fortls
