OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan: No mountable file systems #112

Closed GMS103 closed 3 years ago

GMS103 commented 3 years ago

This happens on OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan, freshly installed on an empty disk. After installing MacTeX 2018 (last compatible version), when trying to self-update TLU it downloads the latest version 1.47 and then gives an error. Downloading manually the .dmg and trying to open it gives the error "no mountable file systems". I have checked everything (extensions, login items, launch items, etc.) without success. Of course, one can open the .dmg on a more recent OS and copy the app (everything is ok on macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra for instance). I was wondering if somebody else was having this issue.

Sorry, this is fallout from https://github.com/amaxwell/tlutility/issues/111, which diskutil now makes APFS disk images by default. Unfortunately, I have not been able to copy the signed application to an HFS+ disk image, because Apple has somehow managed to break that in Big Sur.

Thank you. As a temporary workaround, perhaps you could make available the app as a zipped file?

amaxwell commented 3 years ago

Well, I used to use a zipped file, but Gatekeeper would frequently lie and tell you it was damaged and couldn't be opened. I changed it to a .dmg a year ago to work around that problem, so I'm not sure there's a good solution here.

Please let me know if this works. https://github.com/amaxwell/tlutility/releases/download/1.48b7/TeX.Live.Utility.app-1.48b7.zip

Sorry for the delay. Yes, it works on OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan. Installing gpg fails (I could send you the log but I have been unable to find it).

You can copy rows from TLU's log window and paste the relevant part here or into an email. It saves the last few sessions.

Packaging issues fixed by switching to a zip file. If you have problems with gpg, please file a new report.
