After uninstall, Macbook Pro unusable: 1.3.1 #71

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi,
I've had nosleep 1.3.1 installed on my macbook pro 7,1 with Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Everything was working fine until a tried to uninstall it yesterday with the 
command script provided in the installer-package. After executing the script, 
it went to sleep and was not waking up any more.
Now, each time I'm booting up, the machine goes to sleep right from the 
login-screen. On pressing a button, it will wake from sleep for a short time 
(few seconds, black screen, just fan blowing) just to fall asleep again. 
I cannot even boot from recovery partition or installation disc!!! Therefore i 
can't post any log-files...
Only way to access the harddrives is target-mode right now. 

Any suggestions??

Hi,

Are you sure that NoSleep uninstallation was the only thinig you've done that 
time?

If you have an access to hard drives, check /System/Library/Extensions for the 
NoSleep.kext extension - remove it, if present. Attaching logs 
/var/log/{messages,kernel,dmesg,syslog} may be helpful.

Actually, I don't know what can it be, because the nosleep doesn't change 
anything in system settings or in system files. If NoSleep.kext is absent the 
system should be in the same state as before.

Even more, as you could not boot into recovery mode, this should be something 
else, cause the system doesn't load 3rd-party extensions in the recovery mode.

Hi and thanx for the quick reply,
nosleep.kext was pretty much what I was looking for - will try that tonight 
right away and will give you feedback about the results. 
Concerning the rest of your comments: yes, I completely agree and the same 
thoughts came to my mind. But I'm positive that I did NOT do anything else at 
the time of removal of the extension... I just turned on the Laptop, waited 
until it booted up, mounted the image, started the uninstaller, entered my 
password and boom.
I have NO idea why i could not boot in recovery... The bootcamp partition and 
Windows are working normally though, no errors.
Well, thx again and you'll hear from me soon!

Hm. Obviously cured itself overnight. I have no idea wtf that was but it's 
gone. Everything working the way it should. I just acessed it in target mode 
and looked for the .kext which was not there. rebooted... starting up normally. 
Sorry for the trouble and thx!
