macOS 10.x fails to start with Error (no message) #2038
Comments
@lfnpcsoft you mentioned "macOS also tells me the application has some problems." – mind providing more details? |
#2056 (comment) mentions macOS v10.14.6 (Mojave) |
#2040 (comment) mentions problem occurring after reinstall:
@LordWilliamsr mind providing more info on this?
|
I was reinstalling a newer version for mac 0.20.2 |
#2060 (comment) provides more signal that the issue is related to old macOS 10.x:
|
@lidel I also don't have older macOS versions. It also works here. |
I've run our basic end-to-end tests on Empty terminal means the logs are never updated in variable here: ipfs-desktop/src/daemon/daemon.js Line 94 in 34a1c48
The migration console window is opened with Ask for help: anyone with macOS 10.x and 5min of spare time?Someone experiencing this error could install command line on macOS 10.x and see if The output of this test this will inform our next steps. |
I just tried Edit: I'm on Mojave 10.14.6 by the way. |
I'm on 10.15.7 and I have the same issue with versions 0.19.1 and 0.20.3. Here is a complete crash report: https://gist.github.com/mlgx/c4b984046a03b1597fd8609274f1eae7 IPFS-Desktop should not force updates. It makes reverting to an older version impossible. |
I'm not very helpful in trying to figure out this issue, but AM wanting IPFS Desktop app to work (please) on macOS 10.15.7. |
Attaching Combined.log and Error.log. Hoping that helps figure this out: Click to expand

Thank you all, this is really useful. Seems that there is a problem where Electron (ipfs-desktop) spawns go-ipfs:
My gut feeling would be Electron bug, or that the binary at @MattJohnsonMusic @mlgx Would it be possible for you to upload that file somewhere, so we can compare sha512 checksums, just to confirm/refute this hypothesis? |
I think this is what you asked for. Let me know if not. |
Hm.. checksum is different: $ sha512sum ipfs # from MattJohnsonMusic

Will give it a try… |
Forgive my ignorance, but have downloaded/expanded, now exactly WHAT line of code should I run in Terminal?? |
(not dumb, just not Terminal savvy. If we wanna talk music, I'm good to go. Just don't speak computer coding as well…at all) |
@MattJohnsonMusic the idea is to replace (override) corrupted I think you should be able to do that with Finder, but you can also do it in Terminal.

Hello, SO…tried lidel's suggestion (above) to replace/copy over files. Either didn't work, or I didn't do things correctly. Finally, just GAVE UP! • Dragged out another (older) iMac with no IPFS app history. Installed IPFS Desktop app and CRASHED. So, it's definitely something the new app software doesn't like with macOS High Sierra. Problem still exists, but I've figured out a work-around for my IPFS needs…until I buy a nice, new, shiny computer later in the year. |
Is the crash the same
|
Version 0.20.4 fixes it! |
I confirm that IPFS Desktop v0.20.4 fixed the problem even for High Sierra! 👍 Amazing job!!! Verification Env Info
|
@MattJohnsonMusic try overwriting your old IPFS Desktop app with latest version from https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-desktop/releases/download/v0.20.4/IPFS-Desktop-0.20.4.dmg It seems to solve the problem for others. |
Thank you. I downloaded/installed 20.4 and it does seem to work...whew! |
I opened IPFS Desktop when a windows jumps out reading "IPFS node has encountered an error and startup could not be completed:" and macOS also tells me the application has some problems.
How to solve?
