MunkiAdmin crashes when starting.

[ReneRochefort]

I can't start MunkiAdmin, it crashes immediately when starting up. The crash report says: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Couldn't posix_spawn: error 13'

It worked for a while but this started all of a sudden.

I've uninstalled MunkiAdmin, removed every trace of Munki I could find, re-set up everything again, but the crash keeps happening.

Thanks for reporting, investigating...

[hjuutilainen]

Can't replicate this immediately but this is already a second report of this within a couple of hours. What macOS version and what MunkiAdmin version are you running? Do you get any messages from MunkiAdmin in the latest log file at ~/Library/Logs/MunkiAdmin? There should be at least a line saying "Starting MunkiAdmin version 1.7.0".

[ReneRochefort]

Currently running 10.15, was on 10.14 tried updating to see if it would fix the issue.

No MunkiAdmin folder in Logs

These are the details from the report.

Do you get anything more in the log if you manually increase the logging level: defaults write com.hjuutilainen.MunkiAdmin logLevel -int 5?

[ReneRochefort]

Good morning,

Apparently, I was looking in the wrong folder…

Attached is the most recent log file, including an attempt after increasing the log level.

[hjuutilainen]

Troubleshooted this with another affected user in MacAdmins Slack and the culprit seems to be a broken munkitools install. Try reinstalling the full munkitools package (3.6.4 or 3.7 beta) and make sure they are working.

[ReneRochefort]

How do I make sure munkitools is working properly? I haven’t gotten anything completely set up yet, I did the demo set up and it worked.

I was running munkitools-3.6.4.3786, downloaded a new copy of the installer, reinstalled, same issue.

Downloaded munkitools-3.7.0.3875, installed, same issue.

Installed MunkiAdmin-1.7.0 again (replaced files), same issue.

[hjuutilainen]

Could you run the following commands in Terminal.app and copy/paste the output here:

which makepkginfo

makepkginfo --version

makecatalogs --version

On a working munkitools install, those should result something like this:

% which makepkginfo                     
/usr/local/munki/makepkginfo

% makepkginfo --version
3.7.0.3875

% makecatalogs --version
3.7.0.3875

[ReneRochefort]

This is what I get

apple-imgserv:~ admin$ which makepkginfo
/usr/local/munki/makepkginfo
apple-imgserv:~ admin$ makepkginfo --version
3.7.0.3875
apple-imgserv:~ admin$ makecatalogs --version
3.7.0.3875

[ReneRochefort]

Is there a way to reset the path settings? Uninstalling doesn't get rid of everything. Maybe I have a path wrong or another settings that is saved somewhere else.

[hjuutilainen]

You can reset all MunkiAdmin settings by running defaults delete com.hjuutilainen.MunkiAdmin but could you first run defaults read com.hjuutilainen.MunkiAdmin and post the output here so I could check if there’s anything weird?

I'll wait before deleting the settings.

[hjuutilainen]

Ah, the problem is here makecatalogsPath = "/Users/Shared/munki_repo/catalogs";. That should be the path to the makecatalogs command line tool. Check if running defaults delete com.hjuutilainen.MunkiAdmin makecatalogsPath to only reset that particular setting resolves this issue?

[ReneRochefort]

That did it!

Thank you for your help!
