Cursor doesn't work on my ubuntu device

Discussion

i am trying to install cursor on ubuntu , once i download appimage and try to install it , it auto deletes itself after i click "run and integrate " option

Hey there,

RIght click the .AppImage > Permissions > Run as Executable

You can do on terminal: chmod +x appname.AppImage

3

i always ran through terminal and before running i gave it chmod +x permission aswell

4

Try to: sudo systemctl stop apparmor after that run the AppImage again.

If this doesn’t work do journalctl -xe on your terminal to get the logs.

Maybe one of the workarounds will help you Cursor install Ubuntu 24.04 - #45 by melroy89
