Hello ,

I am having a problem opening Cursor on my work device.

I am having the exact same issue as highlighted here Can't open Cursor (Latest Version) · Issue #1007 · getcursor/cursor · GitHub

Basically once I download I simply can’t open cursor . No warnings , no crashing just nothing.

Has anybody experienced something similar ?

No unfortunately not. I have not been able to fix. There are some suggestions on the GitHub issue but these do not work for me. Keeping an eye on this as I do really like cursor but it’s not working at the moment for me on my work device

I have same issue, on Ubuntu 24.04, any idea or any update?

This was easy for me to fix with ChatGPT on Ubuntu 24. First you have to make the downloaded AppImage executable. After that, when launching it through the terminal, I got an error related to the sandbox not running as root. I won’t try to explain what this is because I don’t know. When launching cursor through the terminal, add --no-sandbox to the command line to launch it with sandbox disabled, this worked for me.
