Linux (Ubuntu) - Cursor couldn't finish installing the update to version 3.5.17

Glad you got it working. For the future, since you installed it via a .deb, the Cursor apt repo is already set up in your system at /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cursor.list or cursor.sources, so you can update it with:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade cursor

That’s the standard way for .deb installs, so you won’t need to download the package manually each time.

A couple notes:

If you hit the GPG error, the forum thread Installing Cursor via APT .deb Package Breaks apt update has working fix steps.
