Cannot Remove or Update Fuse

[julian....@lucidlink.com]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to upgrade my fuse but clicking update or remove button just does nothing.

I tried directly installing 3.8.2 package and all says is "success" install but the fuse pane still shows that I have installed version 2.5.4 (see attached image)

What should I do to completely wipe out fuse installation and start from scratch. I have hard time finding proper information in the google groups or docs.

Any help much appreciated.

I am running: High Sierra 10.13.6 on macbook air

com.box.desktop.installer.osxfuse looks suspicious. Perhaps Box is force installing an old version of OSXFUSE on your machine, try either removing their software or seeing if updating their software fixes the issue.

Are you actively running any box.com software on this machine?

Hi Sam,

Yeah, I though I had it uninstalled but seems should run uninstall script instead of removing from Applications.

I now have clean pkgutils

pkgutil --pkgs|grep fuse

com.github.osxfuse.pkg.Core

But still cannot remove/update or anything regarding to fuse. Quite stuck :/ And it still shows same versions in fuse pane.

[Sam Moffatt]

Using Terminal, try running the following to do a manual uninstall:

sudo /Library/Filesystems/osxfusefs.fs/Support/uninstall-osxfuse-core.sh

After this you should do a restart because whilst the script attempts to remove OSXFUSE, if the kernel module is some how loaded and in use it can remain until you do a full system restart. If it runs into any issues it should log something useful.

Once you’ve done that you should be able to do a clean install. You might need to reapprove the extension again via High Sierra’s kernel extension approval system, make sure you double check System Preferences after installation and trying to use a filesystem. Details on how that works here: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2459/_index.html

OSXFUSE Uninstaller: Can not find bom file for OSXFUSE Core package.

This is the error I get when trying to run this script. Also I see I have another osxfuse.fs/  directory that seems kinda suspicious but not sure.

[Sam Moffatt]

Can you share the output of the following:

/usr/sbin/pkgutil --pkg-info com.github.osxfuse.pkg.Core

/usr/sbin/pkgutil --files com.github.osxfuse.pkg.Core

I'm not sure if files will work if the BOM is gone but it's worth a try, maybe it's installed somewhere else. What is the other osxfuse.fs directory?

One of those will be an earlier version of OSXFUSE I think.

cat /Library/Filesystems/osxfusefs.fs/Contents/version.plist

cat /Library/Filesystems/osxfuse.fs/Contents/version.plist

Should confirm that they are different versions. The older one should also have have an uninstall script you can run.

Also just to confirm you haven't installed anything via homebrew previously?

Yeah, the older one is the one that I tried to uninstall and it gave me 

MacBook-Air:~ root# /Library/Filesystems/osxfusefs.fs/Support/uninstall-osxfuse-core.sh 

OSXFUSE Uninstaller: Can not find bom file for OSXFUSE Core package.

The other one does not have Support/  directory at all.

No, I've been using port for some time now.

[Sam Moffatt]

This feels like an upgrade or uninstall that didn't go completely cleanly but it looks like you've got the new version installed so you could try it's uninstall tool. It's in /Library/Filesystems/osxfuse.fs/Contents/Resources and there's an app to run however it's a wrapper around a shell script if you want to run it again manually[1].

If that uninstalls successfully you might still need to manually clean up anything left over, deleting the older bundle from the filesystems directory might still be required. If you've used port to install something try to uninstall via that tool as well. Once you've nuked everything I'd suggest a restart to make sure you reload everything cleanly and then reinstalling OSXFUSE should work from there.

So I just run this uninstall now and it went successful. Now I only have osxfusefs.fs/ 

Do you think only

 

rm -rf /Library/Filesystems/osxfusefs.fs/

and then restart should be enough? Or there might be some other files somewhere else to manually remove?

port installed  | grep -i fuse   doesn't show anything and I don't remember installing something fancy with port so I assume this there is clean.

[Sam Moffatt]

Yes, `rm -rf` the fs kext should be fine and then a restart. After the restart you should be able to check kextstat to see if anything caused it to reload though if nothing is actively using OSXFUSE then it might not show anyway.

It all worked like a charm :) Sam thank you so very much for this amazing guidance and patience. Wish you an amazing year ahead :) Thank you.
