Possible insight into Mac startup issues

I was glancing at the Terminal output from my 27 hour old instance of 8.5 beta 2 and saw this:

2008-10-09 10:17:55.631 eclipse[4955:551b] Error loading /Users/scotty/Library/Contextual Menu Items/StickyBrainMenu.plugin/Contents/MacOS/StickyBrainMenu: dlopen(/Users/scotty/Library/Contextual Menu Items/StickyBrainMenu.plugin/Contents/MacOS/StickyBrainMenu, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:

/Users/scotty/Library/Contextual Menu Items/StickyBrainMenu.plugin/Contents/MacOS/StickyBrainMenu: mach-o, but wrong architecture

2008-10-09 10:17:55.632 eclipse[4955:551b] Cannot find function pointer SampleCMPlugInFactory for factory 3487BB5A-3E66-11D5-A64E-003065B300BC in CFBundle/CFPlugIn 0x42c18580 </Users/scotty/Library/Contextual Menu Items/StickyBrainMenu.plugin> (bundle, not loaded)

I’m running on a Mac Pro that was transfered from a G5. Looks like I have some PowerPC goodies still lurking that could be tripping Notes.

Subject: Looks like the menu plugin doesn’t support intel architect.

The log shows that your StickyBrainMenu.plugin can’t be load successfully due to architect issue. I can’t google out this plugin can’t tell if this plugin is PPC only.

So could you link us to some descriptions about this plugin to help us analyze this problem,

If you can determine that it’s PPC only, you can replace it with an universal binary one.

Subject: I understand the nature of the problem

I was just raising awareness that during startup these kinds of things could be encountered and it would be nice if Notes didn’t panic about them and crash. :slight_smile:

It might even be useful if the Notes Installer would point out these kinds of environment issues in a report at the end of installation.

I’ve already de-sticky’d the brain and flushed it from my system.
