Hello, when using Cursor version 0.50.7 on my main Linux workstation, the application constantly freezes with a “Cursor Is Not Responding” message.
I’ve tested it on a Windows laptop and I don’t have this problem, so it seems to be particular to Linux (maybe?)…
I did notice when this happens that the disk lights go crazy, and running a system monitor on the side confirms that it is writing to disk when it freezes.
Digging a bit more I ran this command to see where Cursor was writing:
$ sudo fatrace -c --command=cursor
And when the freezes occur I see many lines writing to ~/.config/Cursor/User/globalStorage/state.vscdb-journal
Having read some other posts mentioning that it may be due to my state.vscdb getting too large, I tried completely removing ~/.config/Cursor but the problem persists even with an 8 MB file. So that didn’t fix the issue for me.
This issue does stop me from using Cursor as it makes it basically unusable, and unfortunately I will have to cancel my subscription if I can’t get this issue resolved.
I do also have vscode installed on this same Linux machine and I never ran into this issue.
Any ideas?
