Barely a few KB of language files removed

Open ghost opened this issue 7 years ago • 8 comments

Almost no language files were deleted. I suspect the reason is SIP, because I could not delete them manually even as root. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong?

Were you running Monolingual for the first time? On most systems, you'll find quite a few language files not protected by SIP. Are the "few KB" reported by Monolingual or were you looking at Finder's numbers?

Yes, I was running it for the first time. The few kilobytes were reported by Monolingual. Should I disable SIP and try again?

That is unusual. Did you have a look at the log file do check if Monolingual had attempted to delete the files you expect it to remove? Can you provide a screenshot of the main Monolingual screen (i.e. before starting the process)?

Where is the log file located? I will provide screenshots in a day or so, when I'm less busy.

No worries. The log is in ~/Library/Logs/Monolingual.log.

Sorry for the late reply. Here is a screenshot of the main window, before clicking 'Remove': screen shot 2018-03-16 at 7 00 20 pm After clicking 'Remove,' while the files should be getting deleted: screen shot 2018-03-16 at 7 00 43 pm And after running it, it reports that only one byte is saved! screen shot 2018-03-16 at 7 04 43 pm The log file : Monolingual.log

At the end of the log, it shows that no files were deleted. Should I try disabling SIP before running it to see if that is the cause of the issue?

Same problem here. Most recent log entry below. Everything is exactly as described above.

Thanks for all the hard work! Monolingual is a great project.
