BUG in process suhelperd: over-released legacy external boost assertions (1 total, 1 external, 0 legacy-external)

Hello,


I just formatted my MacBook Pro and installed a fresh installation of Yosemite. I always have this bug which makes my log file full:


BUG in process suhelperd[193]: over-released legacy external boost assertions (1 total, 1 external, 0 legacy-external)


I can give you a hint that it's maybe about Software Updater Helper.. but dunno how to solve it.


Thanks,

JF

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Well, I have heard it is happening to both. My machine is a little older, but it is an 2.93 eight core with 24 gig of ram and it just sings when running snow leopard, but yosemite has slowed it down a bit with the freezes and reboots. The only thing I can possibly think they may need upgrading is my video card. However, I can say this, the things I did earlier in this blog "> Shut off speak recognition, trash com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.systempreferences.plist, relaunch finder and restart." Have definitely helped no questions about it. It is now freezing every couple of weeks.


I may upgrade to a better video card and see if that helps. I've got a 500mb and I may go to a 1 or 2gig. I know it has to do with video ram and/or applications displaying graphics or video, gpu, vram, or something like that and a new video card may at least help the problem. I still am not sure what the deal is.

This has worked for me like a charm.

Daniel from Apple Care told me:



clear the files from the following folders :



1. ~/Library/Caches

2. ~/Library/LaunchAgents

3. ~/Library/Saved Application State

4. /Library/Caches

5. /Library/LaunchAgents

6. /Library/LaunchDaemons

7. /Library/StartupItems


Then these specific files

8. /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist

9. /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist


-Disable login items from ->system prefrences-> accounts or users and groups->login items->remove any un-used apps

Reboot and everything should be ok.
