AppImage Installation of Cursor on Ubuntu 24.04 Causes Login Loop and Nautilus Uninstallation #1684

Open GlennRDx opened 3 months ago

GlennRDx commented 3 months ago

Installing cursor via appimage on ubuntu 24.04 has bugged my ability to login to my system.

I installed cursor with:

chmod +x cursor.appimage

Then ./cursor.appimage --no-sandbox

For some reason this uninstalled nautilus from my system. When I logged out of the system and tried to log back in, I was sent back to the log in screen, so I’m stuck in this endless loop.

Any help is appreciated

You'll possibly want to sudo apt install ubuntu-session to restore your login shell. To get to a shell, if you don't know, you can use Ctrl + Alt + F1 (or F2, F3 etc to get a non graphical shell).

Install within a VM for testing. It's installation is evidently quite destructive (--no-sandbox or sandbox it's concerning.

Also ran into issue with uninstalling nautilus with --no-sandbox on 24.04. Seems pretty bad? Hard to recommend this product for Ubuntu users.
