Describe the Bug

I’m trying to connect to a remote Ubuntu 18.04 server via SSH using Cursor, but the connection fails with a 404 error while attempting to download the remote server binary.

Observed Behavior:
Cursor shows this error repeatedly during setup:
Error installing server: error requesting https://cursor.blob.core.windows.net/remote-releases/faa03b17cce93e8a80b7d62d57f5eda6bb6ab9f0/vscode-reh-linux-alpine.tar.gz: 404 BlobNotFound

System Info:

  • Local OS: macOS (Intel)
  • Remote OS: Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS
  • SSH User: root
  • Cursor Version: 1.2.2
  • Remote Commit ID: faa03b17cce93e8a80b7d62d57f5eda6bb6ab9f0

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor
  2. Connect via Remote SSH to Ubuntu server (ssh [email protected])
  3. Wait for remote install process
  4. Observe 404 error when trying to fetch vscode-reh-linux-alpine.tar.gz

Additional Notes:

  • The SSH connection works and the server starts, but Cursor fails at remote binary installation.
  • Official VS Code works fine on the same server.

Expected Behavior

The remote runtime should install without error and allow remote SSH development.
