Document how to uninstall #48

Closed candlerb closed 8 years ago

candlerb commented 8 years ago

I tried yubiswitch and it didn't work for me (Yubikey 4 Nano, OSX 10.9.5) - setting to either 'disabled' or 'enabled', touching would still generate the OTP code.

So I want to uninstall but it's not clear how. Obviously I've removed the app from the Applications folder, and after a reboot the daemon is no longer running.

I had to give it root permissions during installation. Has it configured something which needs to be undone?

I see that /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.pallotron.yubiswitch.helper.plist is still present. And this in turn points to /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.pallotron.yubiswitch.helper. So I've removed those now. Is there anything else to be done?

There is what looks like a crash log in /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/com.pallotron.yubiswitch.helper,VBoxNetDHCP,VBoxSVC,VBoxXPCOMIPC_2016-03-14-194426_Brians-MacBook-Air.shutdownStall

This should work:

# pkill -f com.pallotron.yubiswitch.helper
# launchctl stop com.pallotron.yubiswitch.helper
# launchctl remove com.pallotron.yubiswitch.helper
# launchctl list | grep -i yubi (to make sure it's not there)
# rm /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.pallotron.yubiswitch.helper
# rm /Applications/yubiswitch.app/

Probably also remove it from the Log Items in your System Preferences. Let me know if this works.

And yes, application installs an helper daemon that runs under root privileges to get old of the HID device.
