Hey, this is a known issue with the in-app updater for Linux AppImage. When it tries to update, it can’t apply the new build correctly and rolls back, so you stay on 3.6.31.
Replace your current Cursor.AppImage file with it where you originally installed it
Relaunch Cursor
We’ve logged the bug, but I can’t share a fix timeline yet. I’ll post an update in the thread as soon as I have one. Let me know if the manual update doesn’t work.
Can you confirm, previously i did install through app image but now if is use the debian package then will my chats be lost or should i go with app image only
Hey, your chats won’t be lost. Your history, settings, and sessions are stored separately from the app itself in ~/.config/Cursor. The install method AppImage or .deb doesn’t affect it, so when you switch to the Debian package everything should stay in place. Just don’t delete that folder.
Switching to .deb also helps avoid the AppImage update issue mentioned above. Updates are installed via sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade, and there’s no signed to unsigned problem there.
One more thing. To be safe, you can back up ~/.config/Cursor before switching, just for peace of mind.
Let me know if anything doesn’t carry over after the switch.
