Mojave Login Issues

In my case, the error was caused by a Razer Plugin.

Boot into recovery mode (Cmd + R while booting), then start a terminal (menubar->utilities as far as i remember), go to /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/ and remove every Razer Plugin.

(Thanks to Betus at MacRumors)

Praise be to the Spirit of Jobs...it seems I fixed it.

On examination of the output of dmesg (via ssh) right after the crash I saw the line

Library Validation failed: Rejecting '/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/SoundBunny.plugin/Contents/MacOS/SoundBunny' (Team ID: none, platform: no) for process 'callservicesd(1931)' (Team ID: none, platform: yes), reason: mapped file has no Team ID and is not a platform binary (signed with custom identity or adhoc?)

So I removed this by saying, again via ssh

sudo mv /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/SoundBunny.plugin/ ~

and that seems to have fixed it.

My best guess is that coreaudio trying to load SoundBunny finds it improperly signed, which crashes CoreAudio (instead of simply not loading the module, which would be the correct behavior), which in turn crashes the entire login session. Not good.

I suspect that might happen with other libraries, too, so if you don't have SoundBunny, try examining the output of dmesg for the "Library Validation failed" line.

The Razer plugin was also my issue. Removing it fixed it for me.

- boot into Recovery mode
- open Terminal
- mount the primary hard disk volume (http://osxdaily.com/2013/05/13/mount-unmount-drives-from-the-command-line-in-mac -os-x/)
- cd to the Plug-Ins folder per above
- remove the Razer folder and all its contents (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2642147/how-to-remove-files-and-directories- quickly-via-terminal-bash-shell)
- restart

Ok i just ruined 2 hours of my life figuring this out. I just kept getting errors saying No such file or directory... (i never use the terminal command thing).

So here is how to remove the RazerKraken Audio plugin and fix this login problem:

1) Boot into recovery mode holding down CMD+R when starting your Mac (it can take a while!)

2) select Terminal

3) In Terminal type exactly this if you haven't changed your hardrive name:

rm -R /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/RazerKraken7.1ChromaAudio.plugin

(a space between 'rm' and '-R' and again a space before /Volumes )

If u press enter and u get no messages, just a new empty line, u're succesfull and can exit recovery and boot up, log in as normal.

The tricky thing (for me at least since i'm not used to commandlines) was the \ behind Macintosh for the space in between Macintosh and HD.

Yes this did it for me as well. The solution was to:

- boot into Recovery mode

- open Terminal

- mount the primary hard disk volume (http://osxdaily.com/2013/05/13/mount-unmount-drives-from-the-command-line-in-mac -os-x/)

- cd to the /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/ folder per above

- remove the Razer folder and all its contents (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2642147/how-to-remove-files-and-directories- quickly-via-terminal-bash-shell)

- restart

Worked for me, too. I had Synapse installed for some Razer headphones and a mouse. I couldn't manage it through Terminal so I used the Recovery Partition to create a bootable USB stick, booted into that, and then deleted the files as specified in your post. Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much! This helped me too and fixed this login issue. To the people struggling to find that folder/directory on terminal, some tips:

Cd .. = will take you to the previous directory

Ls = list all directories and files in the directory you are

Cd DIRECTORY NAME = take you to the directory name you indicate

When you go there and find by the LS command the Razer plugin directory, use the command rm -r NAMEOFRAZERDIRECTORY and that’s it.

A potentially faster and easier solution is to ssh into the machine. That worked for me, and you don’t even need to reboot.

I updated macbook pro 2017, Macbook Air early 2014 And iMac 2017

The iMac has this problem with constant logout.

Does this say anything to anyone?

Hello !

I don't know if this is the same issue, that one is because of some Audio Plug-Ins, after the login screen.

If your Mac is not booting at all after the update, turn it off, start it and then use "cmd+r" to boot on MacOS Recovery, then click on "Reinstall MacOs".
