I think the error originates from

After checking, the link https://update.code.visualstudio.com/commit:0e81b24fc275f346a0c44466c7c3cb7152835340/server-linux-x64/stable indeed does not exist.

How can I fix this? How can I change the commit id commit:0e81b24fc275f346a0c44466c7c3cb7152835340 used in the download link for Cursor to download a valid existing file?

I also tried to copy my .vscode-server on the remote machine to .cursor-server but it did not work, it still looks for a server with specific commit id commit:0e81b24fc275f346a0c44466c7c3cb7152835340

I am getting this same error on arm macOS on latest cursor version 0.37.1

Have been unable to use Cursor so far

Just go to extension implementation and modify the $arch detection so you can download x64 version of vscode server for ARM64 platform.

That will run on Rosetta but it will still work.

Instructions:

  1. Go to your extensions directory, for vscode it’s .vscode/extensions/ms-vscode.remote…
  2. Open /Users//.vscode/extensions/ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh-0.109.0
  3. Go to out/extension.js and replace $arch with $arch=if (($p -eq ‘AMD64’) -or ($p -eq ‘IA64’) -or ($p -eq ‘ARM64’)) { ‘x64’ } else { ‘ia32’ }
  4. ❯ grep -o "arch=." extension.js | sed 's/\n.$//’
❯ grep -o "arch=.*" extension.js | sed 's/\\n.*$//'

arch=if (($p -eq 'AMD64') -or ($p -eq 'IA64') -or ($p -eq 'ARM64')) { 'x64' } else { 'ia32' }

The “Remote - SSH” plugin has already been working in normal VS Code. Would a similar modification work in Cursor’s files?
