Hoi list,
I'm sorry if this is abit off-topic, but it's only a bit, and i
thought some smart brains here might have a 'clear' answer right away,
i didn't manage to find a proper solution the regular ways. it seems
i'm the only one seeing this behaviour,
and it's keeping me from doing my work: programming.
For some strange reason, all of a sudden the Finder doesn't start/run
anymore on my (pretty new) 13"mbp.
Or rather, LaunchServices refuses to launch the Finder when loggin in,
throwing this error:
"The application Finder.app can't be opened"
-10811
-10811 is defind as "kLSNotAnApplicationErr" in ApplicationServices (LSInfo.h)
i've played all the usual tricks trying to sort this. disk/permission
verify/repair
cleaning-out all caches, AND completely trashing ~/Library/Preferences
AND forcing LaunchServices
to rebuild its' database
(.../CoreServices.framework/.../LaunchServices.framework/.../lsregister)
the only result so far is that -10811 changed to -10810
(kLSUnknownErr) but still no finder.
i can run it manually from the commandline, or by loading it into gdb
but that's not really ideal...
Would anyone here know howto fix this issue? someone who knows
LaunchServices well perhaps?
And can you tell me what's going on? i'm quite interested to know the
mechanics behind this complete failure..
but i don't really like to spend the weekend re-installing computers
thanks
arri
