Chmod: cannot access '/tmp/.mount_cursorij1z9k/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js': Permission denied

How To
1

Hi, I met this error,

Installation failed: Command failed: cd "/home/user-dev/softwares"; 
"/usr/bin/pkexec" --disable-internal-agent /bin/bash -c "echo SUDOPROMPT;
 chmod 666 \"/tmp/.mount_cursorij1z9k/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js\"" 
chmod: cannot access '/tmp/.mount_cursorij1z9k/resources/app/out/vs/workbench/workbench.desktop.main.js': Permission denied

when I tried some extensions to set background which could be used normally in VSCode.
Claude sonnet 3.5 said “This may be because Cursor uses AppImage or a similar packaging format, resulting in a read-only file system.”
Is there any workaround? Thanks for your time.

os: ubuntu 22.04 x64

Hey, no workaround on this yet if you are trying to change the styling of Cursor manually, but we are looking to add and APT repo for Cursor, which probably wouldn’t have these limitations due to the .appimage extension.

Thank you! I’m looking forward to it.
