Hi,
sine the latest Contour Shuttle Pro driver fill the consoel with crash logs i like to get rid of it.
The provided uninstalled do not work, so I like to remove it manually.
The crash logs show the following location:
Path: /Library/SystemExtensions/*/com.contourdesign.shuttle.dext
Is it safe to just delete the file ?
Thank you for that information. I was not up to date with the way system extensions (as opposed to old "kernel extensions") work.
As you pointed out in the linked article, it seems that the right tool for the job is
systemextensionsctl
Please run Etrecheck and post its full report report here using the additional text button below the message. This will let us know more and check exactly what you are supposed to delete and whether there are things causing a problem.
If one had really run Etrecheck using Full Disc Access, it might have offered the direct path to the problematic driver - then, using the path in the report and been able to use Terminal to get to it and remove it.
We are only Apple Users like yourself and Offer our advise on a Volunteer bases.
This is odd because there is not usually anything in this location.
Extension are typically in
/Library/Extensions
not
/Library/SystemExtensions
It is important not to err on something that may be innocuous or may damage your system, so I want to be careful.
And having correct and precise information is crucial. You can probably delete the file but …
Thank yopu for the reply,
As far as i know is that the location are about to change since kext are no longer supported in future.
Hence the new location:
/Library/SystemExtensions/
see:
https://developer.apple.com/support/kernel-extensions/
They also have a new extension . *.dext
just found:

Thank you for teh reply, but that doent answer my question.
I know what is crashing :) its the driver and widly discussed in the contour design forum.
I just want to get rid of it and like to know if it is save to just delete teh file.
Anyways Etrecheck doesn't found any issues.
Thank you ver y much for the reply, but that still answers my question.
Already have the full path :)
I just want to know if it is safe to just delete that file, since its location seams to be stored in the following db file either:
/Library/SystemExtensions/db.plist
A simpel YES or NO is enough, Thats all.
It is even easier as described in the article.
systemextensionsctl list shoes all installs SystemExtensions as well as th teamID and bundleID
eg:
enabled active teamID bundleID (version) name [state]
* * RLZF369B1B at.obdev.littlesnitch.networkextension (5.2.1/6207) Little Snitch Network Extension [activated enabled]
* * TH3C7MDJMA com.adguard.mac.adguard.network-extension (2.5.4/966) AdGuard Network Extension [activated enabled]
--- com.apple.system_extension.driver_extension
enabled active teamID bundleID (version) name [state]
* * KR963GGL0L com.motu.driver.coreuac.dext (2.0.0 88527/2.0.0 88527) com.motu.driver.coreuac.dext [activated enabled]
So if we want to uninstall the adguard system extension we just have to:
Boot into recovery OS, so on my macMINI M1 I had to press the power button until the boot options are displayed and disable SIP in the terminal with:
csrutil disable
reboot
then in the terminal :
systemextensionsctl uninstall TH3C7MDJMA com.adguard.mac.adguard.network-extension
reboot in recovery OS and re-enable SIP:
csrutil ebnable
reboot
done :)
