Syphon Virtual Screen uninstaller #37

Open eladg opened 8 years ago

eladg commented 8 years ago

@andreacremaschi I must say, this is one of the coolest projects I've seen, but unfortunately it's useless with the Yosemite performance issues. I understand SVS is not to blame, EWProxyFramebuffer is just not been maintained to suit Yosemite's updates... It's also true that there is no other project out there to do it right on OS X :cry: :-1: (please correct me if I'm wrong!)

Therefor... sadly, I would like to properly uninstall SVS, but couldn't find a way to do it.

@andreacremaschi Can you assist?

Thanks.

Thank you Elad, actually yes, sadly I should state more clearly on the README that the project is not maintained anymore due to those issues. I'll keep this issue open so I'll do it as I find the time. In the meanwhile you can uninstall it by hand.

  1. Remove the "startup at login" item for Syphon Virtual Screen and delete the app from \Applications.
  2. From the Terminal:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/EWProxyFramebuffer.kext
sudo kextcache -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions
  1. reboot.
