I had a kernel panic in iTunes a couple days ago, and after
restarting and launching Xcode, it asked to set up my user
preferences as if it were a fresh install. Furthermore, Console
shows the following message over and over:
2007-07-13 21:07:49.463 Xcode[811] CFLog (0):
CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): plist parse failed; the data is
not proper UTF-8. The file name for this data could be:
/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DevToolsInterface.framework/
Resources/PBX-h-small-Icon.tiff
The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be
corrected in the plist.
Any clue how to correct this?
See if that tiff file really is a tiff file. A simple check could be
the Terminal command:
open /Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
DevToolsInterface.framework/Resources/PBX-h-small-Icon.tiff
If you get a garbage display or a complaint about opening the file,
then find a replacement copy.
If the file seems OK, find the plist file that's referring to it.
You haven't quoted the name of the plist file, but maybe it's on a
nearby line in the Console. Otherwise, try (in Terminal):
find ~ /Developer -name \*.plist -print0 | xargs -0 grep -l PBX-h-
small-Icon
This should list one or more plist files that refer to this tiff
file. Check those to see if they're healthy. Again, "open ..." is a
straightforward test that'll probably either work or print error
messages. If you find a plist file that fails to "open", and yet
refers to this tiff file, then that's your culprit. If it's in your
Preferences folder, just trash it and redo your personal settings for
whatever program is named in its name. If it's somewhere else, try
replacing it from a healthy installation. Or maybe, once you see the
file name, you'll be able to think of other means to replace it.
