I am on a pro plus plan and on Linux Mint Desktop app. Now it’s a curse and horrible thing. PC crashes, hang, code auto delete etc. I tried .deb and appImage but both were same horrible.
Literally I can’t even open and access the Cursor Desktop app on my pc.
Hey, thanks for the report. A full system crash on launch is definitely not normal.
Try launching Cursor from the terminal with extensions disabled. This helps narrow down the cause:
cursor --disable-extensions --verbose
If it still crashes, please share the logs printed in the terminal.
Also check:
Free disk space. Low disk space can cause crashes on startup.
Your GPU drivers are up to date for Linux Mint.
If it works with --disable-extensions, then one of the extensions is likely causing it. You can re-enable them one by one using Extension Monitor.
About the “code auto delete” part, that also sounds odd, but let’s first focus on the main crash. Can you share a bit more detail? Is code being deleted from files during the crash, or is it happening in some other way?
Let me know what you find. If none of this helps, we can file a ticket to the team with your logs.
Edit the desktop file (usually ~/.local/share/applications/cursor.desktop)
In the Exec= line, add the --disable-gpu flag
Also check:
Free disk space (df -h). Low space can cause crashes
Your GPU driver version. Try updating it
If everything works with --disable-gpu, it’s almost certainly the GPU drivers. If it still crashes, please share the logs printed in the terminal after running the command above.
