Help, I'm stupid; Mac download "No Mountable File Systems" #553
Comments
Hi! Thanks for reporting! You're the first one to notify me of this problem. The DMG opens on my macbook, but I noticed I had built it using an older version of Qt. I rebuilt the package with the latest version and uploaded it here: https://drawpile.net/files/osx/Drawpile%202.0.7.1.dmg Does the new version work better? If it doesn't can you check if the file has been corrupted during download by running
|
I understand the problem now. You're using High Sierra, I'm currently on El Capitan 10.11.6. For the other mac users I've spoken to, the file also doesn't work for them and they also use El Capitan. As for running shasum on it, I don't know how to do that but I doubt that the file itself is corrupted (perhaps you can show me?). Aye man, I'm just yabadabadoing my best on this dino craputer. |
I believe I figured it out. High Sierra changed the file system format to APFS, which older OSX versions do not support. By default, disk images will be created in the new format. I found this Qt bug report that explains the problem. Here's a new package in the older disk format: https://drawpile.net/files/osx/Drawpile-2.0.7.2.dmg |
It works! I'm sorry to have made you go through the trouble. I am stuck with a mac for the time being while I save money to build a new pc. The mac I have does not belong to me and I just have to make due until then. Thank you so much for everything. I will keep you updated if I experience any new problems. |
Great! Thanks again for reporting. There are still lots of people running older OSX versions, so it's important for me to know when compatibility breaks. |
I have not been able to use DP since the 2.0.6 update; every time I open up the mac file, I get a message stating: no mountable file systems.
This also goes for the newest update 2.0.7.
I have already re-downloaded the files more than once, I restarted the desktop and I updated the software but I still receive the same message. I was then told that I'm not the only person experiencing this and that the file may be the problem, not the comp. I'm aware of how bad macs are, I can attest to using one (but I have no choice).
Just wanted to see if there was anything up about it and if not, what can I do to help fix this? Not an experienced mac user either.
