Another Mojave problem - slow startup/access to internet

elisa

I realize there are already some bug/quirk reports on Mojave. But I think this one is slightly different.

Starting up OpenSesame takes ~5 minutes with my computer being generally frozen. After that I get a warning that OpensSesame could not check for updates, and asking whether I am connected to internet (I am). This happens on different networks, so I doubt it's a connection problem. I also tried rebooting my system but that didn't help. I also get long delays when clicking on a help button that leads to opening a youtube video.

After this slow startup, OpenSesame works well and smoothly, so I don't think that it has much to do with OpenGL -Daniel's suspicion about the culprit for Mojave-related problems.

Hi Elisa,

Thanks for reporting this. Although patience is a virtue, 5 minutes seems a bit much. I suspect that the OpenScienceFramework extension is blocking things. Does the issue go away if you disable the extension under Menu → Tools → Plug-in and Extension Manager?

And are you using a proxy server by any chance?

Cheers,
Sebastiaan

Sorry for the delay, I just checked and disabling the OSF extension didn't solve the issue. Not using any proxy.

Thanks

Hi Elisa,

Have you already managed to fix that problem?

Hi Eduard, I'm sorry it took me 8 months to get back to you! I did not see your response.

The answer is no, I never fixed the problem. I had to sop using OSWeb (we were planning to use it as part of a short demo for a general workshop on running studies online and decided that we would not have time for it anyway).

Really sorry again, will keep better track of my notifications
