10.9.2 13C64 and crash of AutoDMG 1.2.1

[Marcel75]

I've tried to build a Vanilla-DMG from the latest version 1.3.40 of the Mavericks Installer, but AutoDMG crashes.

Here is the report:

and so on ...

Any idea?

Thanks in advance, Marcel

Looks like there's a unicode bug lurking in the code, but there are no details as to where. Can you extract the AutoDMG log from the system log?

[MagerValp]

Also, running /Applications/AutoDMG.app/Contents/MacOS/AutoDMG from inside Terminal.app should give you the full error message in the terminal.

[Marcel75]

Ok, great hint and thanks for the fast answer. :)

If I start the app with root-privileges from Terminal via /Applications/AutoDMG.app/Contents/MacOS/AutoDMG it seems to work fine.

PS: My user is a managed user without administrative privileges, maybe that's the problem? With the 10.9.0 and 10.9.1 builds I had no issues ...

[Marcel75]

PS: Build successfull. :) Now I'll try to enroll it on a new machine via Casper Imaging.

Do you still need the extracted AutoDMG log from the system log?

[MagerValp]

The Application should not be started with root privileges. Please run it in the terminal without sudo, I'd like to find the bug.
