🛠️ Troubleshooting

Sandbox Issues (Cursor, Obsidian)

If you encounter sandbox-related errors with applications like Cursor or Obsidian:

sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

Note: This command temporarily disables AppArmor restrictions. Consider the security implications before applying this fix.
