mrRobot62 commented 1 month ago

Version

2.1.7

Hardware / Firmware

GRBL 1.1

What happened

After downloading dmg-file for silicon M2 chip, I can't open the DMG-File. Nothing happens. Normally the security mechanism in OSX prevent installing 3rd party dmg. In Configuration/Security inside osx I do not get an information, that I try to install a 3rd party app.

It's not the first time, that I install dmg on this way.

BTW: directyl download from GIT this file is not available. Only download possible from : here Could somebody help me?

How to reproduce

Reboot system, try installing again - same result - not possible

Operating System

OSX Sonoma 14.5, MacBook Air M2

Anything else

No response

I found a solution how to install this corrupt dmg-file under OSX - and it works

  1. copy dmg to you download folder
  2. open a terminal and change to the download folder
  3. you have to mount the dmg file

    hdiutil attach macosx-aarch64-ugs-platform-app-2.1.7.dmg now a new mount point is created

  4. change to this new mount point

    cd /Volumes/Universal\ Gcode\ Sender

  5. copy the *.app file to your application folder

    cp -r Universal\ Gcode\ Sender.app /Applications

  6. I renamed this new application to a name without spaces in the name ;-)
  7. now you can start this new application directly from Launchpad

I have found and fixed the broken link. But had no problems opening the DMG on an older iMac or a brand new Macbook Pro running Sonoma.

I am closing this as I am not able to reproduce it.
