Can't clear kext cache

[farski]

I've been trying to resolve some audio issues, and have had to shuffle back and forth between a few different kexts, but now it would seem my system refuses to clear the kext cache. It's still loading a kext that exists no where on the system, and every attempt I've made to build the cache from scratch has apparently failed.

 

I've tried touch /S/L/E, kextcache -system-caches, -f on boot, etc. Nothing seems to do the trick.

 

Is there any more forceful way to do this?

I use Kext Utility. Give that a try.

That or try pfix (It's a script), I use it all the time.

man kextcache gave this out

Mkext archives and kext repository caches must have proper ownership (root:wheel) and permissions (0644) in order to be used by the system

As previously suggested. Have you tried Kext Utility?

[ameris_cyning]

run Repair Permissions from Disk Utility, then navigate to /S/L/Core Services/Caches/com.apple.kext.cache/Startup and trash Extensions.mkext

 

Empty the trash holding the command button

Just download KextUtility and run mate. That will do the trick.
