Appimage not starting

When I try to run Cursor on a linux command line, it gives me the following error and exits:

❯ ./Cursor-0.47.9-x86_64.AppImage
The setuid sandbox is not running as root. Common causes:
  * An unprivileged process using ptrace on it, like a debugger.
  * A parent process set prctl(PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS, ...)
Failed to move to new namespace: PID namespaces supported, Network namespace supported, but failed: errno = Operation not permitted
[377054:0327/213053.014754:FATAL:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(207)] Check failed: . : Invalid argument (22)
[1]    377054 trace trap  ./Cursor-0.47.9-x86_64.AppImage

I’m running Tuxedo OS 24.04 which is based on Ubuntu 24.04. The package libfuse2t64 is installed already and I did give the file execute permissions.

I had issues with this update too. FWIW if you get the early access update 0.48.2 it does work.

> ./Cursor-0.47.9-x86_64.AppImage --no-sandbox

try this workaround

for anyone you can use https://ryonakano.github.io/ pinit app from here and just on the cursor appimage add --no-sandbox to the exec file field as an argument and that will fix it until they the fix the issue hope it helped ^^
or just add the argument to the terminal when running the appimage if you don’t want to have an icon for it in the app tray
