Describe the Bug
Cursor crashes immediately on Ubuntu 24.04 when launching the AppImage (Cursor-1.1.5-x86_64.AppImage). Error code: 132. The crash appears to be caused by Electron’s sandbox failing due to incompatible namespace restrictions in Ubuntu 24.04.
Steps to Reproduce
Download the latest AppImage (v1.1.5) from the official Cursor website
Run it on a clean Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS system using terminal
Command used:
./Cursor-1.1.5-x86_64.AppImage --verbose
The app crashes immediately with the following fatal error:
Failed to move to new namespace: errno = Operation not permitted
FATAL:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(207)] Check failed: .
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)
Expected Behavior
Cursor should launch normally and show the main editor interface.
The AppImage should detect unsupported sandbox environments and automatically disable it or provide a fallback option.
