Catalina: You can’t open the application “ScreenSaverEngine” because it may be damaged or incomplete. #883

Closed HimalayanSage closed 4 years ago

HimalayanSage commented 4 years ago

Looks like this might be something new. Catalina. 10.15.1 on a MBP 13" 2017. Internal monitor.

When the screensaver is active (full page, black background, floating text): "You cannot use the Aerial screen saver with this version of MacOs. Please contact the vendor to get a newer version of the screen saver."

When I click on the "preview button" with Aerial selected in the System Preference:

"You can’t open the application “ScreenSaverEngine” because it may be damaged or incomplete."

Followed directions to manually delete and re-install latest version for all users. Same results.

Hi @HimalayanSage

That one is strange. ScreenSaverEngine is the container for all 3rd party screensavers (edit, it's not, it's legacyScreenSaver, so this is even weirder, ScreenSaverEngine is one level up above in System). Do you happen to have other 3rd party screensavers installed ?

Also, are you using latest version (1.6.4 ?). Earlier version would fail.

Here's what I would suggest :

That might tell me more about what's happening here for you. Thanks !

Hi,  I assume it’s 1.6.4 but can’t v edify the version once installed since I can’t open.  I got it from: https://github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial/releases/download/v1.6.4/Aerial.saver.zip

No other screensavers installed, never had.

Here’s the console when I select preview:

No ScreenSaverEngine.app in /System/Library/CoreServices/

Wonder how the heck that happened during upgrade from 10.14?

So yeah, that's 1.6.4, good !

I was going to ask... That's... not good at all.

That's a part of macOS so I have no idea how come it's missing for you. First time I've seen that too. Quite frankly I have no idea on this one. This may break some default screensavers too (maybe not all, unsure).

I'll try to think about it but I'm a bit at a loss here, hmm.

glouel commented 4 years ago

Just throwing an idea here, maybe try Disk Utility, and launch First Aid ? Maybe some disk corruption makes it inaccessible ?

System volume is locked down in Catalina so there's no chance you (or some app) deleted it even by accident. Sorry about that one, wish I could help more.

HimalayanSage commented 4 years ago

About 10 minutes ahead of you ;-). Rebooted into recovery and ran First Aid as you suggested.  Rebooted, ScreenSaverEngine.app was back and Aerial is working!   Thanks for the hint!  Still have no idea how it went missing.

Cheers,

Don
