janek202 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 In Chameleon rev about 1200 they changed the file name from com.apple.boot.plist to org.chameleon.boot.plist. If you want to use the latest revs like 14xx you have to rename that file. Beta build 3.0.9 works ok? Can put it in the auto-update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innova Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Don't take this the wrong way, I'm a noob, I'm wondering why does Chameleon Wizard want to write to a file called security_ authtrampoline in usr/sbin, as well as some others in there?

janek202 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'm wondering why does Chameleon Wizard want to write to a file called security_ authtrampoline in usr/sbin, as well as some others in there? It doesn't. It's the first time I heard about it. There's nothing called authtrampoline or security_ in the whole source code. I have no idea.

Innova Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Sorry again, I was just trying to put my mind at ease about it. Never hurts to be careful. It's just that HandsOff - http://www.metakine.com/products/handsoff/ reports Chameleon Wizard wanting to write to: /usr/sbin/diskutil /usr/bin/strings /usr/bin/bsdtar /usr/libexec/security_authtrampoline I was wondering if those requests are normal.

It's not writing. It's using external programs. security_authtrampoline is probably Authorization stuff that lets me run applications as root (like fdisk or dd). diskutil is being used for partitions list, strings to find chameleon's revision. etc. It's completly normal, I was not confident enough to try to mess with hard disks using my own functions so I used system's applications.

Innova Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Thanks for the explanation and putting my mind at ease. I suspected that HandsOff was reporting a request to run a program as a file write but wasn't sure. Also thanks for your time and for this app, it's really useful! Wonderful job.

Innova Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 To add some constructive feedback, I've spotted a typo on "Default Partition" Also my previous config file had <key>PCIRootUID</key> but I see that Chameleon Wizard uses <key>PCIRoot</key>. Is that the new syntax? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janek202 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 To add some constructive feedback, I've spotted a typo on "Default Partition" Fixed, thank you. Also my previous config file had <key>PCIRootUID</key> but I see that Chameleon Wizard uses <key>PCIRoot</key>. Is that the new syntax? I made this application mainly basing on boothelp.txt: PciRoot=<value> Use an alternate value for PciRoot (default value 0). Version 3.1 published. Edit: Test Version 3.1.5 with pkg installer downloader. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7085278/Chameleon_...nWizardTest.zip En.proj updated with 2 new strings: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7085278/Chameleon_...er/en.lproj.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italia64 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Works on Snow Leopard and Lion. So before I attempt to use the installer, will this will only work on Snow and not Leopard? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janek202 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 So before I attempt to use the installer, will this will only work on Snow and not Leopard? Thanks Chameleon Wizard requires OS 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) or higher. Porting to 10.5.x and 10.4.x is not planned because it would require work. Leopard doesn't have many functions I use like Grand Central Dispatch. App will probably crash on 10.5. But Chameleon will be able to boot Leopard.

janek202 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Downloaded package is named Chameleon-2.1svn-r1444.pkg.gz Packages on buildbot are compressed with gzip. This app should unpack it into pkg. Works here. BTW. New test version. Added Hide Partition flag. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7085278/Chameleon_...nWizardTest.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janek202 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 Yes, it unpacks it but the name still has .gz on it. Try the new build. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7085278/Chameleon_...nWizardTest.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosman Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 This app is awesome (a real timesaver)! I need to use fdisk440 to preserve my Windows 7 dual boot. I wasn't sure if Chameleon Wizard used fdisk440, so just to be safe i overwrote the fdisk in the app "Resources" folder with a renamed copy of fdisk440. Works nice!

oSxFr33k Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 There is something wrong with the themes that you can install from this app, unless its the latest chameleon at fault, r1445? It starts to look like the theme appears for a second then goes to a black screen then boots to the desktop eventually. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcalado Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Is it safe to just tick "Use kernel cache" or do i need to do something first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janek202 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 Is it safe to just tick "Use kernel cache" or do i need to do something first? From boothelp: UseKernelCache=Yes|No Default is No. Yes will load pre-linked kernel and will ignore /E/E and /S/L/E/Extensions.mkext. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oSxFr33k Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Which ones? I tried to install LoginToLion and it worked without any issues. Edit: New build with updated translations. Can you post your org.chameleon.Boot.plist. Maybe I have something wrong there? I have Boot Banner =yes, Timeout =3, theme = default. I have default for now until I figure out why any theme other than default causes that problem. My theme is in /extra From boothelp: UseKernelCache=Yes|No Default is No. Yes will load pre-linked kernel and will ignore /E/E and /S/L/E/Extensions.mkext. Ok maybe its this but could you still post your OCBP Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcalado Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 So, forgive me for my ignorance, but UseKernelCache renders /E/E and /S/L/E useless? The system won't use them at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
