[SOLVED]Indigo won't start after reboot

Just upgraded to 6.0.9 Not really sure if related but every time I start my Mac Mini running Maverick , Indigo will no longer start in the background as it used to. I have to remote to the server and start the Indigo application manually.

What should I check? Thanks for the help.

Cheers

Hi,

I want to report the same problem.
I detect this after upgrading to 6.0.8
Previous 6.0.x Indigo releases where restarting ok with Maverick.

I found that the plist file that uses OSX to launchd Indigo during booting was desapeared.
I tried that Indigo create the file by itself without success. (Toggling "start local server" to single application to standalone server")

Finally, I created the plist file by myself using a text editor.
Now, OSX launches Indigo during start-up

I don't want to say this is the correct solution.
Maybe, Matt or Jay will indicate the right direction.


If you want to try ...

My plist file was located at: ~/Library/LaunchAgents
with name: com.perceptiveautomation.indigo-server.plist
content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.perceptiveautomation.indigo-server</string>
<key>KeepAlive</key>
<false/>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/bin/open</string>
<string>-a</string>
<string>/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 6/IndigoServer.app</string>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>

This can happen if permissions on the launch document folder or file itself have become corrupt. Indigo will automatically create/delete those documents as necessary.

First thing I'd do is run a repair permissions on your disk - that would fix any permission errors it finds. Next, see if this file is there:

Code: Select all

~/Library/launchAgents/com.perceptiveautomation.IndigoServer2.plist

Note, that's the Library folder in your home directory (and, yes, it's IndigoServer2). If it's there, stop the Indigo server, delete the file, then restart the server (and make sure the "Start and connect to Indigo Server on this computer" is selected in the Start Local Server dialog).

If it's not there, then just restart the Indigo server (and make sure the "Start and connect to Indigo Server on this computer" is selected in the Start Local Server dialog).

In either case it should recreate that file (assuming the permissions on the directory are correct).

Thanks Jay,

I did a disk permissions repair the day before restarting OSX and find the problem.
I do the repair with regularity, because I have installed Maverick upgrading SnowLeopard and not from scratch.
And, in my system, Maverick's behaviour is worse than with SnowLeopard. Including the zwave usb stick.

Yes, the plist file that I was using since Indigo 5, was ...IndigoServer2.plist
But, creating the plist with this name, OSX did not started up the server.
Because, I found another ....indigo-client.plist file (I think containing frontend preferences), I decided to create it as "...indigo-server.plist" and I worked.

Very strange!

I will try to follow your indications, and check if the correct plist file is recreated by Indigo.

Is very strange. I already run the repair permisions, reinstall 6.0.9 and uncheck and check start indogo at startup. It will not recreate the .plist file
Should I manualy create it or copy?

I will check my Time Machine and see if I had it there before the 6.0.9 upgrade

Did you install Indigo on the same account (exile)? Check the permissions on the LaunchAgents directory itself - it should look something like this:

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x    10 jay   staff    340 Jan 18 11:47 LaunchAgents

(BTW, your post has launchAgents rather than LaunchAgents - wonder if that's a problem?)

Yes I installed this with the account exile. I can't access my Library folder via TimeMachine for some reason

Here is what I have

drwx------ 6 exile admin 204 Jan 19 22:27 LaunchAgents

Hrmm... Indigo's copying of the .plist does indeed appear to be broken. Investigating...

[matt (support)]

Found and fixed (pending QA). We'll try to post a new installer tomorrow.

Thanks for the bug find!

Good morning to all,

Thanks to find the bug.

Indigo 6.0.10 is now available. It should fix the bug preventing auto launching of Indigo Server on login.

Matt,
I have just tested 6.0.10.
The bug is fixed.
The plist file is created correctly by Indigo.
Thanks
