Upon updating my Ubuntu machine to the latest version of Cursor yesterday, my extensions fail to activate.
Reloading the window or reloading the extensions just prompts a brief “Activating extensions…” indication before silently failing.
My Macbook doesn’t seem to show any issue.
My normal workflow relies on language server extensions for Python and Julia, and so Cursor is effectively unusable for me currently.

Yes - Cursor is unusable

This is a pretty old thread from December - I’d suggest creating a new one since the versions discussed here are outdated
If you’re experiencing extension issues on Ubuntu, check out our latest troubleshooting guide here: Cursor – Common Issues
The current stable version is much newer than what’s mentioned in this thread, so updating should probably resolve any extension activation problems
No, but I think it fixed itself with the release of 0.44! No issues currently, upgraded today from 0.45 to 0.46
