Bug Report: Unable to Log In to Cursor on Ubuntu

Bug Reports
1

Checked the forum: Yes, I have checked the forum, and I did not find a resolution to this issue.

Bug Description:
I have installed Cursor on Ubuntu, but when I try to log in by clicking the login button at any of the login options in Cursor, nothing happens. The button appears and is clickable, but no action occurs after clicking it. This issue persists despite multiple attempts to reinstall, update dependencies, and configure my system properly. Since I am a paying user, this is preventing me from utilizing the software.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install Cursor on Ubuntu (using the AppImage).
  2. Launch Cursor and attempt to log in.
  3. Click on the login button.
  4. Observe that nothing happens.

I am unable to provide exact reproduction steps since this occurs on a fresh installation without any unusual modifications.

Why would it be the browser? I think it has do something maybe with appimage.

I sorted my issue but I don’t know if this fix works for others.

  1. Uninstall it and change my default browser to chromium as a default browser.
  2. Install it again.
  3. Run it again with --no–sandbox.
  4. Button worked.
