Need help, useing ubuntu server and cursor keeps spawning instances for me, tried to delete cursor-server from root, tried reinstalling, also tried to turn off all cursor instances from htop, and it helped, for one day.

I am a very active user of cursor, so I have chatted and opened many chats, and was coding a lot, giving a lot of codes for it, maybe its the cache or something, even deleted all the chats but I still get the issue, most of the time the CPU usage in all cores is 99% and cursor top 1 eater :smiley: help bros

EDIT:

I am windows user, using cursor as vscode with ssh connection

Hi @BH0

It could be some kind of extension. Open Process Explorer and check there, maybe you’ll find the cause.

@deanrie do you have any other idea?

Is your project large? When I open many large files, my CPU usage goes up as well.

3.5k lines but I open like 500-1k lines of code most of the time maximum

pkill -9 -f ‘cursor|vscode’

rm -rf ~/.cursor-server ~/.vscode-server

I am having this same problem, also a cursor user using it with Windows and with the ssh extension.

I can not say when it happens but it always happen when I am using cursor working remotely.

Did you find out anything more @BH0?

Same problem except it’s RAM
When I SSH into my Linux server it spawns endless Node instances which end up filling up the RAM. It takes only a few minutes before it’s full and then I lose connection. They are all cursor related, I see it in the process information.

I don’t have any extensions for Cursor except the official Remote SSH one.

Hi, are you root?

I do not cursor-server. It was just a question, because there was no sudo in the command.
