Cursor wont open after latest update

Bug Reports
1

Cursor fails to open after latest update. Prior to the update, the application was functioning as expected.

I have already attempted to resolve the issue by reinstalling the application with a fresh download, but the problem persists.

My system information is as follows:

  • OS: Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64
  • DE: GNOME 42.9
  • Windowing System: X11

Is there a way to download a previous version? like 47.8 ?

Hey, thanks for the report. Have you updated to version 0.48? And yes, you can download the previous version here:

0.48? when i click download in the site it downloads 0.47.9.
how to download 0.48? can you please guide me?

I can’t find 0.48 either, read the changelogs just before logging off last night and was excited to update today.

I’m opted into Early Access beta versions, but it says no new version available. Downloading latest from the site gives 0.47.8, so I’m not even getting 0.47.9

0.47.8 was working for me, but 0.47.9 seems to have broken the AppImage. I’m on Fedora.

Initially I just clicked update from the UI and it wouldn’t relaunch. I downloaded the latest version and tried running it manually from the terminal, which yielded the following:

/usr/bin/AppImageLauncher: /lib64/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/../lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/appimagelauncher/libappimageupdate.so)

Was there a change in the way the team generates the AppImage?

Downgrading to 0.46 got me running again.
