Re: [sage-support] completely uninstalling SageMath

Thanks Marc! Following your advice I went to System Settings > Privacy & Security -> Automation and found that SageMath had been denied control over System Events (by me, I assume). Allowing SageMath control over System Events permitted SageMath to use Terminal.app and solved my problem! I must

Re: [sage-support] completely uninstalling SageMath

I found the Settings panel you need to use to restore the ability of SageMath to control Finder and System Events. It is System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Automation On my system it shows that SageMath-10.5 has permission to control Finder, Terminal and System Events. - Marc On Saturd

Re: [sage-support] completely uninstalling SageMath

By the way, your answers to the privilege questions are certainly not stored in a dot-file anywhere and probably not in a file that you can access either. Apple has many system databases that store information like that. There are commands to access those databases but it is not a matter of e

Re: [sage-support] completely uninstalling SageMath

Try going to: System Settings > Privacy & Security -> Files & Folders (or search for Folders) That setting controls app access to special Folders, such as Desktop or Documents. The SageMath app does not request or need Full Disk Access. As far as I know it does not need access to any special

Re: [sage-support] completely uninstalling SageMath

The macOS app is mainly dealt with by Marc Culler - not sure whether he reads this group, so I put him in CC. He knows more about these annoying macOS details than other Sage devs, for sure. HTH Dima On Sat, Jan 25, 2025 at 11:51 AM James Propp wrote: > > Thanks, John. I tried your idea, but Sag

Thanks, John. I tried your idea, but SageMath isn't listed as one of the programs on the list of programs eligible to get full disk access. On Friday, January 24, 2025 at 6:42:25 PM UTC-5 John H Palmieri wrote: > Maybe approach this from the Mac side? Something to try: install SageMath, > then

Re: [sage-support] completely uninstalling SageMath

Maybe approach this from the Mac side? Something to try: install SageMath, then go to System Settings -> Privacy & Security. From there, click Full Disk Access, click the + sign at the bottom, and select SageMath to give it access. (I'm not 100% sure that "full disk access" is what is needed, bu

I went to https://github.com/3-manifolds/Sage_macOS/releases , downloaded SageMath-10.5_x86_64.dmg , and double-clicked on it to start the installation. On Friday, January 24, 2025 at 4:50:16 PM UTC-5

Please provide more details on how exactly you installed SageMath, which installer is this? On 24 January 2025 15:06:33 GMT-06:00, James Propp wrote: > > >How do I do a *complete* uninstall that (among other things) will >“un-answer” the installation software’s questions about giving various

[sage-support] completely uninstalling SageMath

How do I do a *complete* uninstall that (among other things) will “un-answer” the installation software’s questions about giving various system-privileges to SageMath? I installed SageMath-10-5 on my MacBook Pro (with a 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 processor running Sonoma 14.7) and decl
