I’m using the latest version of cursor with the remote ssh extension. When I remote-ssh, sometimes I can get in if I delete the .cursor-server directory on the server, but often when I try to reconnect, it’ll just hang at “initializing VS code server”. Here is the log output. I do notice a lot of ssh spawn errors.

Seems to be a widely affected problem among users as I’ve seen many similar reports in the past. None of the solutions have worked so far.
