Total Spaces in Yosemite having problems

I have been using TotalSpaces for more than a year. I upgraded to Yosemite about two months after it came out. Last week, total spaces went berzerk. It no longer works. I have uninstalled using the installer, uninstalled manually deleting the app and the file in the library, and also greped for anything total spaces. Still, nothing works.

I sometimes use multiple connected screens, but not always. Typical settings are to use no backgrounds to tax the system less, and a 4 column, 2 row configuration.

Current Info:
OSX 10.10.1 (14B25)
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
TotalSpaces2: v 2.2.9

When I try and open the settings, I can’t add rows or columns. Clicking on the buttons, I get off centered icons:

Help is greatly appreciated.

This looks like TotalSpaces2 is not correctly installed. Specifically, the plugin is not working.

It is expected that that plugin will exist in /Library/ScriptingAdditions/TotalSpaces.osax

If it is not there, then TotalSpaces2 should install it itself (it will ask for your password to do this). If it is not doing this, there must be some reason for that.

When you start TotalSpaces2 does anything useful appear in the Console.app logs?

I removed the program and the plugin in /Library/ScriptingAdditions/.
I cleaned my console.
Installed TS2.
Console remains clean.
Opened TS2, it authenticated for the plugin, as it always has.
Console has the following usage message , and no errors :

and a duplicate (the first one may have been when I deleted it):

No console errors.
The dock icon has the 4 squares, but no number.
The preferences still has the same problem and i can’t switch places.
The system log has the following:

Is there a straghtforward way of completely uninstalling and reinstalling TotalSpaces?
Randy Hawkins

Is this directed at me?
Because you can look at this for uninstalling TotalSpaces2

Other than that, I don’t see the relevance to this post, as I have followed the instructions at the link above.

For some reason TotalSpaces2 cannot send messages to the Dock application to load the plugin. The system is just returning an error (-600) when it does so.

I’m sorry, I do not understand why this is at the moment. I will see if we can come up with a hypothesis.

In the mean time is there anything you can think of that may have triggered this behaviour - did you install any new software for instance?

No new software. I have been using multiple screens lately. OSX may have done an update automatically, since that is turned on. PLEASE let me know if there is anything I can do to move this along (un/reinstall dock if I knew how). Thank you!

We are going to try to come up with some ideas today, I hope to get back to you soon.

The only thing we’ve come up with so far is the suggestion that there might be two users logged into your computer - and TS is trying to send messages to the wrong Dock process. Anything like that possible (are you using fast user switching)?

I only use one account, but i just checked. There was a new shared guest account. I disabled that. I haven’t used fast user switching since like 10.4. BUuuuut, I do remember that the login screen now appears, and I tried to disable that. a few forums say to turn on automatic login. This isn’t an option, as it is greyed out. I could never figure it out. Something to do with File Vault, which was recently turned on trying to figure out the auto login. Any pointers or things you want me to try?

I have two further ideas.

  1. Can you check what is in your folder /Library/ScriptingAdditions/
    This is what’s in mine:

    $ ls /Library/ScriptingAdditions/
    TotalFinder.osax TotalSpaces.osax
    $

It’s possible some bad extension has got in there and is messing up extension loading for TS.

  1. Please try running the attached script. It should cause the TotalSpaces2 plugin to start. If it doesn’t, what’s the error? Anything in Console.app log?

In my /Library/ScriptingAdditions/:

  • Adobe unit types.osax (presumably for CS6…? )
  • Default Folder X Addition (i dont use default folder x anymore, so i could get rid of that)
  • TotalSpaces.osax (the modified date is Oct 1, 2014, so maybe that aligns with your release?)

So in Console, in system.log, while running TS, i Have the following:

Nothing else appears to be important in the Files section. I happened to get a Chrome System Diagnostic Report at this point. Now running your script, I didn’t see it load, and it is definitely not remaining in the dock. Here is what is in the system.log:

I cant find the Dock icon, or in the activity monitor, so shutting down TotalSpacesCrashWatcher manually and re-running your script, I still get the error that it has already been loaded. Uninstalled TS2 and ran your script, this is the system.log:

and from your script (once again, I don’t see it in the dock, and this time trying to see if it appeared then disappeared, it didn’t happen)):

Hope something from this helps. If you need me to set some time aside to do a one on one, please let me know, and I would be more than happy to. Let me know if you need something else.

Thanks for comprehensive logs, appreciated!

If you don’t use it, just remove Default Folder X Addition from /Library/ScriptingAdditions

The logs show that sending the message manually to the Dock causes the plugin to load correctly. This is good!

But TotalSpaces2 can’t send the messages to the Dock itself.

The first message that TS2 sends is a message that the Dock should update its list of plugins. This is what fails. At this point I strongly suspect that Default Folder X Addition. Please remove it (or move it somewhere sae in case you need it).

Let me know if that helps. If not I can get you a build of TS2 with some changes to ignore the failure of the update message.

I uninstalled Default Folder X. I the tried to run TS2. No luck. Uninstalled TS2. Reinstalled TS2. Opened, authenticated, closed, ran your script:

Im up for trying an edge release.

Could you try this one?

http://downloads.binaryage.com/TotalSpaces2-2.2.14.dmg

Nada. I also notice that sometimes opening the preferences in layout section, that is says you need 16 and have 16. I only have 8. About 1/8 times loading TS2 I can click the rows button and get 1 or 2 rows to show up, never columns. However, in these cases, it says I need N desktops and have 0 desktops.

Please can you post logs from when this version starts up?

So To make sure FileVault has nothing to do with it or auto login, I turned Filevault off, uninstalled TS@, then reinstalled TS2. Nothing still. Here are the logs while installing and after opening:

It says I need 16 desktops and have 16 desktops. Still the issue with the offset of the + (plus) and - (minus) signs in the TS2 preferences.

Yes, as before the plugin does not load.

I have a new build for you. Please try it, I added a little more logging info that will help me understand the problem. (Also there’s a small chance it will fix the problem, let’s see)

WOOT!!! Everything appears to be working!!! I forgot to mention yesterday, as well as doing the filevault stuff, I also reset the SMC controller and the PRAM, but that didn’t solve it before or after installing.

Here are the logs:

Also, here are some other notes, based on my quick overview of it working:

  1. The offsets of the + and - are still a bug (not a problem for me, cause now it is working!!!
  2. I didn’t notice this before, but i remember when it was working before, TS2 was somewhere pretty close to the right in the dock (i have well over 20), pretty close to the ‘native’ icons for OSX. But when it wasn’t working it was all the way to the left. Didn’t occur to me it was different because I was uninstalling and installing after the computer was running, so I thought the icon would just append itself to the left side, as it was loaded last. Once this one started up, it was all the way to the tight.
  3. When starting it, It knew the names for all of desktops still, as well as all the settings. How did it know that if I uninstalled it? Were there other Library files we should have deleted that might have helped?
  4. Maybe its just because it was freshly installed or it hasn’t been running long and there is no memory leak yet, but the hotkey to go to the overview mode with all desktops is EXTREMELY FAST. I have always had the setting show no background and no animation, but it has always taken around .5 to 1.5 seconds to happen. I let you know if this changes and we can go from there if you want to debug.

Ill let you know if i run into other problems, and I would be happy to help you debug this further if you need. Thanks a lot!
