hi Wow, this is ugly. I'm not sure I'm capable of putting anything like this together. Guess this goes into the "miscellaneous and unsolvable mac bugs" category. Which is less than ideal, because the apple users I've tried to help are not known for their patience, while I don't like going around in circles. Looks like I'll be recommending fedora exclusively for mac users if sonar won't boot Thanks Kendell clark On 11/07/2015 02:00 AM, Chris Murphy wrote: > On Wed, Nov 4, 2015 at 9:55 AM, kendell clark <coffeekingms@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> I don't own a mac myself, but I'm writing here in case other people do. >> I'm a co developer of the sonar distribution, which is basically manjaro >> with speech.
