Hey guys, I've been having issues with my laptop restarting "Sleep Wake Failure" after sleep. I was told its probably one of my kernel extensions. I ran this command in terminal to find 4 extensions, but when I go looking in all the folders /System/Libraries/Extensions home folder they are not in there. Only LittleSnitch is but that one I would like to keep. I want to delete the other 3... How can I find the location of the other 3? I need them deleted. I've deleted the software connected to them already.

kextstat | grep -v apple

62 **** at.obdev.nke.LittleSnitch (4724) ****
95 **** com.squirrels.airparrot.framebuffer (3) ****
125 **** com.avatron.AVExVideo (3.0.1) ****
126 **** com.avatron.AVExFramebuffer (3.0.1) ****
[doublepost=1508296282][/doublepost]PS when I try sudo rm -R com.squirrels.airparrot.framebuffer it tells me: No such file or directory
 
Etrecheck

Download and run the app EtreCheck. It will create a report showing you where all those items are launching from.

Everything should be in one of these folders.

~/Library/LaunchAgents (~ is your users folder)
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/Extensions/
 
Ive checked all those folders, nothing to do with any of these 3 in there

com.squirrels.airparrot.framebuffer (3)
com.avatron.AVExVideo (3.0.1)
com.avatron.AVExFramebuffer (3.0.1)

To find the other kext, from Terminal, cd to the usual locales and run the following. Should point to which directory it is hidden in.

Code:
find . -type d -name 'com.squirrels.*'

Thank you for the link, so I found those 2 extensions that others have had issues with in the link above and I deleted them. Thanks

BTW I tried

Code:
find . -type d -name 'com.squirrels.*'

in terminal and it come up with A LOT app support files, but no files in any other folders. How can my mac keep reporting this extension: com.squirrels.airparrot.framebuffer when I can't find it anywhere? What could I be missing here? Could this terminal code be wrong: kextstat | grep -v apple ??
