Duplicati won't Launch on Mac Sierra

MagicalInhabitant · April 9, 2018, 4:13pm

When I double click on the Duplicati Icon in my /Applications directory nothing much happens. Running ‘ps -ef | grep -i dup’ confirms that it’s not running.

If I try to run it from the command line:

$ open /Applications/Duplicati.app/
LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10810 for the file /Applications/Duplicati.app.

I’m running Mac OS X 10.12.6 and mono is installed with Mac Ports:

$ mono --version
Mono JIT compiler version 3.12.1 (tarball Fri Dec 30 14:04:14 CST 2016)

I see the same behavior from the latest beta version on the website and from the canary version on github. Any ideas?

Have you tried running just the command line from a shell with something like this?
mono “/Applications/Duplicati.app/Contents/Resources/Duplicati.CommandLine.exe”

If you don’t get something like this then there’s likely something either Duplicati is expecting that’s not on your system or there’s a permissions issue.

See duplicati.commandline.exe help for more information.

filename unknown?

From the download image names, I’m running duplicati-2.0.3.3_beta_2018-04-02 but I got the same error with duplicati-2.0.3.4_canary_2018-04-02.

Thanks!

I have to admit, I haven’t actually tried a MacOS command line with the new beta (or a canary) version, but I doubt it’s changed that much.

However, since I don’t have access to a Mac for testing for a few more days I’m going to see if @Pectojin has any thoughts…

Super odd. Running Duplicati.Commandline.exe just works on my machine.

This is my output:

$ mono "/Applications/Duplicati.app/Contents/Resources/Duplicati.CommandLine.exe"

See duplicati.commandline.exe help <topic> for more information.

Commands: backup, find, restore, delete, compact, test, compare, purge,
vacuum
...
http://www.duplicati.com/              Version:  - 2.0.3.5_canary_2018-04-13

It kind of just looks like it’s something wrong with the installation.

I installed a more up to date mono from the package on their website and it seems like it works. The file ‘run-with-mono.sh’ in the mac Duplicati bundle suggests that only mono 3.0 is required but maybe that’s not true anymore?
