Cursor keeps randomly crashing

[radu-corbu]

Description

After a while of of working with the IDE, Cursor crashes. The window goes blank for a few seconds then it closes. It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing; I've had it crash while chatting with the AI and applying suggestions, and while simply browsing code.

I wish I could provide steps to reproduce this issue, but it occurs very randomly. It's happened twice in one hour, so far.

same issue on arch running lts kernel

For me, the issue went away after a few system upgrades. I don't know what could have caused it.

Also experiencing this on Fedora 40 with gnome. Usually when I click on a code action suggestion. Very annoying.

i've found it's stable when running the AppImage file directly (instead of installing cursor-bin via AUR) -- ymmv

Interesting. I'm using this to integrate my AppImage applications.

I've noticed running it in firejail and from a terminal that remains open keeps it stable. No crashes since i started doing that

[bardicreels]

firejail --noprofile ~/path/to/Cursor.AppImage

Same problem, I installed the AppImage via AppImageLauncher. I noticed that when I run it via my terminal it doesn't seems to crash anymore

I stand corrected. It still happens. Just now I've had it happen twice in a row: Cursor closed again after re-launching.

Haven't tried running from the terminal.

Executing cursor via the default desktop entry produced by appimaged would display a blank window for 2-3 seconds then crash. As others pointed out above, executing using firejail (in my case, via the desktop entry's firejail action) or directly executing the AppImage file via the terminal would work reliably without crashing.

Setting DRI_PRIME=1 in the .desktop file fixes the issue entirely for me.

Seems to crash randomly, definitely however the launch

I run in windows 11 pro connecting to WSL and it crashes many times a day. could not find the log file location
