Hey, this is a known issue with an old cursor-server process that doesn’t exit automatically and blocks the new install.

Fix: on the remote server, run:

pkill -f .cursor-server
rm -rf ~/.cursor-server /run/user/16885/cursor-remote-lock.* /tmp/cursor-server-*.tar.gz

Then reconnect to the server.

The team is working on automatically cleaning up old processes during updates.

5

Thanks. rm -rf ~/.cursor-server takes awfully long time. Is it normal?

7

Yes, this can be normal depending on the size and type of the disk on the server.

~/.cursor-server can contain hundreds of MB and thousands of small files. If the server uses NFS or network storage (not a local disk), deleting it can take a few minutes.

If you want to speed it up, you can stop rm Ctrl+C and delete only the critical files:

pkill -f .cursor-server
rm -rf /run/user/16885/cursor-remote-lock.* /tmp/cursor-server-*.tar.gz

Then try reconnecting. You can delete the old ~/.cursor-server folder later with a background command:

nohup rm -rf ~/.cursor-server &

Even after running the commands, Cursor still fails to install on the remote server. Below are the error messages:

10

I can see the original lock file issue is fixed. The new logs show the lock is acquired successfully and the server starts loading. Now the problem is a timeout during the extraction step.

Since deleting ~/.cursor-server took a long time, the server is probably using NFS or a network drive, so 30 seconds isn’t enough time to unpack.

Add this in Cursor Settings (JSON):

"remote.SSH.connectTimeout": 120

That gives 2 minutes to connect instead of 30 seconds. If that’s still not enough, you can set it higher, like 180 or 240.

Let me know if it helped.

11

Thank you. Where can I find the file?

13

Hey, this goes in Cursor Settings (the JSON file).

How to open it:

  • CMD/CTRL + Shift + P
  • Type Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)
  • Add this line inside the curly braces

Save the file and try reconnecting to SSH.

Let me know if it worked.

14

Thanks. I have added the line to the file.

I had actually successfully installed Cursor on the server without the fix. I don’t know why it happened, but below is the output:
