I was really sad looking at my gray finder sidebar. I thought that this release of Finder was designed by some engineer from Soviet Union or North Korea but, finally, I found a solution to get back my colored finder and also my smile!
Take a look to this link: http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/25/get-color-sidebar-icons-back-in-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-finder-windows/
launchd is a daemon/agent manager and to remove a service from it, use the following syntax with the launchctl command:
launchctl remove name |
It’s possible to get a list of daemon/agent with:
launchctl list |
Usually the daemon/agent configuration files are in: /Users/andrea.girardi/Library/LaunchAgents
Rebuild the Spotlight index manually :
sudo mdutil -E / |
Insert a blank space on Dock:
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{"tile-type"="spacer-tile";}' killall Dock |
Show all files (also hidden):
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE killall Finder |
To start a new Postgres version as Daemon you need to follow these commands. For first, unload current version (if available):
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.dbms.plist |
Edit the org.postgresql.dbms.plist (if not available, create a new one):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>org.postgresql.postgres</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/bin/postmaster</string> <string>-D</string> <string>/Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/data</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>UserName</key> <string>_postgres</string> </dict> </plist> |
Load new configuration:
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.postgresql.dbms.plist |
Before reboot your Mac you need to check if the folder data has the right permission:
sudo su - postgres chmod 700 /Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/data |
Reboot your Mac.
To manually start (and stop Postgres on MacOS), login as postgres and:
pg_ctl -D /Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/data -l logfile start pg_ctl -D /Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/data -l logfile stop |
