Remote extension host terminated unexpectedly 3times within the last 5 minutes

Hi there,

I am currently struggling with a bug when updated the latest cursor version. I keep on getting that “Remote extension host terminated unexpectedly 3times within the last 5 minutes”.

I think it is the problem within Remote - SSH extension as if you disable it, the cursor works. However, well i need it for my code and i am failing to fix that.

The one problem i am getting is this:

[{
“resource”: “/proc/44955/cwd/.cursor-server/cli/servers/Stable-fe574d0820377383143b2ea26aa6ae28b3425220/server/extensions/git/package.json”,
“owner”: “extension-editing”,
“code”: {
“value”: “star-activation”,
“target”: {
“$mid”: 1,
“path”: “/api/references/activation-events”,
“scheme”: “https”,
“authority”: “code.visualstudio.com”,
“fragment”: “Start-up”
}
},
“severity”: 2,
“message”: “Using ‘*’ activation is usually a bad idea as it impacts performance.”,
“startLineNumber”: 1,
“startColumn”: 1060,
“endLineNumber”: 1,
“endColumn”: 1063,
“modelVersionId”: 1
}]

but when i fixed it. The termination was still appearing.

Maybe somebody has a clue why is this happening? The people i know got it a few times and it disappeared. And yet i am stuck here for 2 days straight and cannot use cursor.

Any insights would be great. Thank you.

Have you slove this problem bro

I solved this problem by going back the visual studio code version to 1.96.4

Hello guys!

I’m a Windows + WSL 2 user and I was having this problem cause I use Debian for my projects and Docker within WSL 2. I resolved my issue in the following way:

1 - Delete the .cursor-server folder (WSL 2)
2 - Open any project from WSL 2 (to download the cursor-server again)

This solved my problem with the SSH remote connection between Windows and WSL, as I found that the issue was with the Typescript server, which could not access it or the Docker containers.

I hope this solution can help you all.

For the 2 step, example: cursor myProject (to open any project from WSL 2)
