chmod +x /path/to/your/Cursor.AppImage

nano ~/.local/share/applications/Cursor.desktop

Type=Application
Name=Cursor
Exec=/path/to/your/Cursor.AppImage
Icon=/path/to/icon.png

chmod +x ~/.local/share/applications/Cursor.desktop

@IMUR’s snippet addresses your Cursor app icon issue. You only have to chmod +x a file once.

But on Ubuntu 24.04 I discovered a different fix than what I’ve seen here. Run it for the first time:


./<cursor.AppImage> 
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt install libfuse2t64
./<cursor.AppImage> --no-sandbox

This is the only thing that’s worked for me on Ubuntu 24.
