Not working right off the bat..Not Solved! [SOLVED]

cherrysail

I can take the command listed in the other forum and cut and paste it but...

This is the response I get in Terminal.



chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file /var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd.peruser.501/overrides.plist: No such file or directory



WTF does that mean? <img src='http://forum.agilebits.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_sweating.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='(sweat)' />



Everyone has told me this is the best Passwords program but I am an app level user not terminal level.

I am sorry about the trouble. This is a problem with the file permissions in your system, it is not something that 1Password caused. I emailed Apple yesterday and hopefully they will come up with a solution that will solve this problem for everyone at once.





For now, we just have a workaround that works but it requires you to run this command. In your case the command must have failed because the user id in your system is different from 501.



Please try to run this command instead:



[code] chmod -RN /var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd.peruser.$UID/overrides.plist [/code]

cherrysail

Still no go - This is completely what terminal says when I paste that in-





Sarahs-MacBook-Air:~ sarahcherry$ chmod -RN /var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd.peruser.$UID/overrides.plist

chmod: Failed to clear ACL on file /var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd.peruser.501/overrides.plist: No such file or directory



Any suggestions? It is a brand new 11" MacAir running Lion

Please run this 2 commands and then let us know what they show:



[code] echo $UID [/code]



and



[code] ls -al /var/db/launchd.db [/code]

cherrysail

Here is what it shows -





Sarahs-MacBook-Air:~ sarahcherry$ echo $UID

Any ideas?

roustem

Thank you for information.



I am not sure why but it seems that you do not have the special directory for you user. It should be created automatically by the system. Could you please try to restart you Mac and see if that makes any difference?

cherrysail

works now - thank you:)

khad

Try this Terminal command and then restart your Mac:



[CODE]chmod -N /var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd.peruser.`id -u`/overrides.plist[/CODE]

Please let me know how it goes.

brainfroth

@khad - that worked...thanks!

rallen172

That looks as if it solved it for me too. Thanks.
