"Install Conky" Button in Conky Preferences Not Installing Conky #17

Open ennation opened 6 years ago

ennation commented 6 years ago

Clicking the button closes and drops back down the preferences window and doesn't install Conky, so far as I can tell

See Imgur post for screen recording of the problem and system info

Hi! Thank you for your contribution. What version of ManageConky are you using?

npyl commented 6 years ago

Also, where are you running from ManageConky? Are you running it from /Applications?

ennation commented 6 years ago

Unfortunately, I already had Homebrew installed and up to date so that's not it.

This is version 0.9.1 from the releases page of the repo

ennation commented 6 years ago

Yep, /Applications

npyl commented 6 years ago

Please repeat the process you showed me on the video but this time with Console.app open and with "Manage Conky" written in the search bar.

Then upload here the log.

npyl commented 6 years ago

Question: Was ManageConky installed in /Applications by a user other than you, but it is run by you?

ennation commented 6 years ago

Will do. Gimme a sec

Nope, installed and run by me

npyl commented 6 years ago

Quick question: Is ConkyX.app installed in /Applications?

ennation commented 6 years ago

No ConkyX. Found the issue though. Was on a non-admin account, didn't have permissions to install it the way that it does.

npyl commented 6 years ago

Glad you solved it, this means I need to rethink my installer!

npyl commented 6 years ago

@Eymantia hi! This is not related to this issue, but I wanted to ask, how was your experience with ManageConky so far? After you fixed this problem, did you manage to do what you expected?

I will soon update my site with a star-based rate widget for ManageConky. This way, anyone will be able to rate and submit his/her thoughts.

PS: I am developing a framework that will work just like NSTask but with the addition of launchAuthenticated method which will ...well, execute your task with root privileges. This way, this issue will be fixed.

Until then, lets keep this open.

npyl commented 6 years ago

@npyl Issue is ManageConky doesn't copy ConkyX into /Applications when run by non-admin user

ennation commented 6 years ago

Sorry, was out of town for a few days. Everything seems to be working just fine!

Also glad you found a solution to the problem!

npyl commented 6 years ago

Thats great news!! Basically you found it, I am just implementing the code !
