Recurring “Connection stalled / LTe: Connection stalled” on Linux (HTTP version switch only temporary fix)

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue, and over the last few weeks several users have reported the same stack trace: LTe: Connection stalled.

The most effective workaround right now is to reset the corrupted workspace index. You have two options:

Option 1: rename the project folder:

MyProject → MyProject_v2

Then open it again in Cursor. This forces a new index to be created. See this resolved thread with the exact same stack trace: Connection Error / Stalled Agent requests for hours - #9 by Fares_Bendhiab

Option 2: delete the project cache directly:

rm -rf ~/.cursor/projects/<your-project-folder>

Then restart Cursor. This is less destructive than renaming, and your chat history will be preserved.

If neither option helps, I’ll need:

  • Network diagnostics: Cursor Settings > Network > Run Diagnostics (screenshot)
  • Console errors: Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console (screenshot of the red errors when it freezes)
  • Which model are you using?

The team is aware of the issue. Your report helps with prioritization, especially since you’re on Linux, and most previous reports were on macOS.

Let me know how it goes.
