| Ecamm Plugin Loader : For the intarweb |
[Apr. 14th, 2008|12:35 pm] |
I'm having some problems with MBP system instability. So far the only thing i notice in system.log is errors of the sort below the cut, mentioning Ecamm Plugin Loader. iCal, SecurityAgent, and ScreenSaverEngine seem to have the problem the most, but third party products like Adium and Microsoft office apps also complain. With so many different applications whining, i don't know where to start. I'm removing it because it appears to be associated with a USB webcam i had on the iMac. (You'd think an archive and install might have nuked it.)
I can't show it's the cause of my system freeze, but it is whining like mad. (It appears to be the wrong architecture).
Does anyone know anything about where Ecamm Plugin Loader comes from?
Some error has been around for a while, in a somewhat unrelated post i noted a similar error: http://elainegrey.livejournal.com/1276296.html That was a 10.4.x error; i'm now running 10.5.2.
Due diligence for removal:
sudo tar czvf ~/Desktop/Ecamm-delete080615.tgz Ecamm/
