Repairing Permissions

[Wayfarer247]

Okay, so I have just upgraded to 10.5.2, and everything went well, thanks to ~pcwiz. However, I have come across a peculiar thing when repairing permissions. After doing Kalyway's 10.5.2 combo update, I found a whole bunch of broken permissions, and they all were repaired. However, now when I search for permissions, I always get the same broken file, which never seems to be able to be fixed. Now, it isn't a Kext, but it is still interesting... Here is the log from Disk Utility:

I can do that many, many times.... It just won't fix it. Ideas?

You could try repairing disk permissions in terminal.

 

open terminal

tpye: sudo -s (hit return)

type: (put in your password)

type: diskutil repairPermission (hit return)

 

that should repair them, it is only a different method, but it may work

 

 

Think Mark

you forgot where diskutil should go. In this case, "/"

 

diskutil verifyPermissions /

diskutil repairPermissions /

 

But yeah, thank you! I'm trying it out now.
