Cursor 0.33.4 refuses to start on Kubuntu 24.04: "SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly"

1) If you can, please include a screenshot of your problem

Here it is, though it hardly makes sense in this case:

Screenshot_20240522_171426

2) Please include the name of your operating system

As reported by lsb_release -a:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Release: 24.04 Codename: noble

Flavor is Kubuntu, though.

3) If you can, steps to reproduce are super helpful

Download latest version of Cursor from cursor.sh, cursor-0.33.4x86_64.AppImage
Run chmod u+x ./cursor-0.33.4x86_64.AppImage
Run ./cursor-0.33.4x86_64.AppImage
Cursor refuses to start with following error: [3940:0523/104843.586137:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /tmp/.mount_cursorl2LAz7/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755. Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

I appreciate any assistance. Thank you very much.

I have the same issue. The only thing that worked for me was running the app image using the flag: --no-sandbox

I searched a lot for a solution to run it without the no-sandbox flag ... but found nothing useful yet.

I hope someone finds a better solution than the no-sandbox flag.
