My Vscode setup, which I’m trying to migrate to Cursor, is as follows: I run vscode on my MacBook Pro and connect to a vscode workspace on a Linux server over ssh (Devuan Daedalus). This works fine with Vscode but fails with Cursor. Here is the log of the ssh connection attempt, showing that Cursor is unable to install its server component on the Linux machine due to a 404 Not Found.
This is a blocking issue. I cannot user cursor at present.
