Steps to Reproduce

Nothing much just run on below operating system with gpu specs

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] (rev a1)
08:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Picasso/Raven 2 [Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series] (rev c8)

Note: I have tested by disabling gpu too like below:


Exec=env DRI_PRIME=0 /home/nikhil/Applications/squashfs-root/AppRun --disable-gpu --no-sandbox --disable-dev-shm-usage --verbose > /home/nikhil/.local/share/applications/cursor.log 2>&1

Expected Behavior

Cursor should work properly, i have two pro subscription and i am debugging cursor in verbose mode.

Same issue here. I’m using Cursor 0.47.9 to avoid this issue, but a fix would be nice!

I’m running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

The ptyHost process never seems to be running.
