Up until the last few days, I have managed to update my cursor on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS without any issues by running the AppImage.

Now it won’t work because of this error:

```auto
./Cursor-0.47.9-x86_64.AppImage
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.

```

Steps to recreate:

1. Download latest AppImage from [Cursor.com](http://Cursor.com)
2. Run the file then click on “Integrate and run” in the dialog box

1. This dialog appears:

When I run it manually from the command line, I follow the above steps and get this output:

```auto
