[SOLVED] Changing user access rights causes the Finder to crash - German.pkg
 
my system is running smooth except this issue:

if i want to access the infos of a file/ dir and try to switch the user access rights,
finder crashes / closes. so there is no way (except shell maybe) to alter file infos.

any ideas what is causing this? the kernel (voodoo) and system.kext match.

thanks

Hi zuz242,

As far as I know, the issue might occur if you're using an incomplete german language package. Please switch to english and try whether it works.

If it does, I might have an idea to solve the problem.

you are right, problem is language related.

what is the easiest way to get the file?
i have some other distros but havenīt been able to extract kexts / pkgs yet.

danke ;)

Solved
 
i did extract german.pkg from iPC image (i had to use onxy to show hidden files).
after install - no more crashes ;)
