Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

On Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS, Cursor IDE sends periodic notification to get to the newer version (2.1) while cursor --version shows that I’m already on what seem to be the latest version.

cursor --version

Use the last version of Cursor IDE on Ubuntu for a moment and expect a notification for “new version is available”.

While on latest version, this notification should not pop up.

Hey, thanks for the report.

Check Cursor Settings > Beta > Update Access. You’re likely on “Early Release”, which shows new early version notifications even if you’re already up to date.

Switch to Default to get notifications only for stable releases.

Let me know if this helps.
