  • BRU PE no longer launching (mac)

    Posted by James Spicer on April 24, 2017 at 5:41 am

    Hi all,
    I have inherited the use of BRU PE and it will no longer launch.
    The software asks for an authentication login which I enter and then the app does not launch. It’s like the window is off screen… I have no idea.
    Any trouble shooting steps I can try? I have restarted the machine twice.

    Thanks

    Not sure what BRU version you’re using, but if it’s the latest build, then…

    BRU 3.1.23.3657 has serious problem in authentication. I have to type in the pw 3-5 times before it finally worked. Very annoying for over a month now. This is on OSX El Capitan.

    3.1.20 .278 doesn’t have this issue.

    Yeah I’m not totally sure how to find out the BRU PE version without being able to launch it. The “about BRU PE” option is greyed out.. It is definitely a few years old.

    From the same Applications/BRU PE folder, BRU PE Import Tool, BRUSetta Stone Import Tool and BruTALK all launch once authenticated.
    BRU PE Import Tool = Version 3.1.19, build 237

    I have opened, authenticated and quit the application about 30 times.

    Are you running headless and VNCing in?

    If so try plugging in a monitor.

    I’ve had stuff like this happen when running headless and connecting/disconnecting a monitor.

    Force Quit
    Right Click the App in Finder
    CMD-I to get info

    Additionally, could the BRU UI have been launched on a secondary screen the last time it successfully launched?

    You can try removing the preferences file
    [code]rm /Library/Application\ Support/BRU\ PE/etc/com.tolisgroup.bru-pe[/code]
