After restoring from backup, seeing a 'rcd quit unexpectedly.' dialog every 10 seconds

jonnynezbo commented 9 years ago

The dialog begins appearing repeatedly after I press the play button after restoring from backup.

Here's a screenshot of the dialog:

And here's the report from the dialog:

I am trying to remove the patch because my play/pause button doesn't work in iTunes for some reason. I wanted to rule out the patch as the cause.

jonnynezbo commented 9 years ago

It's worth noting that I was using an older version of the patch (pre Mac app). I tried restoring using that first, and the problem happened then. So, I installed the app in hopes that it would clear the issue up - but it's still happening. I'm stuck with the patch installed for now. I'm using Apple Music now, so I actually prefer to have the play button launch iTunes now.

jonnynezbo commented 9 years ago

For now, I'm just running the patch and hoping for a fix. It's not annoying enough to to a fresh install of OS X, but it is frustrating none the less.

I appreciate your efforts in developing this patch that worked well for so long. I know you're doing it for free, and it can be frustrating for support an app that doesn't make you any money!

thebitguru commented 9 years ago

Hi @jonnynezbo,

Yeah, you should not have to do a fresh install to fix this. Can you run the GUI patch and share the log? Most likely you are missing the OS X command line tools where the binary gets patched, but cannot be signed.

jonnynezbo commented 9 years ago

Thanks for the reply @thebitguru. I could not find the log when patching with the GUI app. All I see is this:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/spa/w9y331nq8d0g5zi/64a48i6d.png

thebitguru commented 9 years ago

It's in the application menu as shown below.

Did using the GUI version fix the issue? If not then can you share the log file with me? I am on 10.10.4 so I am surprised that this didn't work for you.

If you would like to back out the patch... right click on the file that says "Unpatched" and choose Show in Finder. Once in the correct folder in Finder, delete the rcd file, rename the backup that you selected to rcd and restart.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. Here is the log from when I patch:

Unfortunately the GUI app did not fix the issue. I downloaded it in hopes that it would. The problem happened when I backed out the patch that I applied over 6 months ago.

jonnynezbo commented 9 years ago

To be clear, I'm seeing the error screen continuously after I back out the patch. When the patch is installed, then I don't see the error screen and it appears to work as intended. If there is a way to re-install the original rcd for 10.10.4, maybe that would fix the issue. Could there be interference with another app? Like Boom 2 for Mac?

thebitguru commented 8 years ago

Hi @jonnynezbo, sorry, I have been quite busy. Were you able to get this resolved?

jonnynezbo commented 8 years ago

I was never able to fix the issue. It worked well for a long time, but at some point it starting showing the 'rcd quit unexpectedly' dialog every 10 seconds. I did a fresh install of OS X awhile back, and haven't installed the utility since then.

jonnynezbo commented 8 years ago

BTW, thanks for the work you put into it - and giving it away for free.

thebitguru commented 8 years ago

Np :) I have been on a clean install, and just applied the patch yesterday by temporarily disabling SIP. See the instructions on the site if you are still looking for this.
