Clover General discussion

[a1k0n]

Hi

 

I was install Mavericks GM with Clover v2 USB Drive on Fusion Drive "Macintosh HD"

 

 

All works great.

 

If i want install Clover_v2k_r2211.pkg on "Macitosh HD" there is an error. I know Fusion Drive is the problem.

Also i manually copy EFI Folder to EFI Drive.

 

 

Now my little problem is Clover stops every time at Clover Gui.

In config.plist i set the option:

<key>Timeout</key>
		<integer>0</integer>
		<key>DefaultVolume</key>
		<string>Macintosh HD</string>
		<key>Fast</key>
		<false/>

but it s always stops at Clover Gui. i don't need the Gui. OSX is the only OS on my PC. 

 

Her is my complete config.plist i hope anyone can help my

Second ask is there anyway to install rc.scripts from Clover_v2k_r2211.pkg manually? 

 

Sry for my bad english iam german nativ. thx for reading

[rr7]

I think clover has done something to my bios.

 

I used the option to add clover to EFI when booting from UEFI and then the option to boot this device has gone.

 

I didn't realise this was what happened until I booted another usb key with different version of clover and it was available for UEFI boot, but when adding to efi it again disappeared.

 

also, my bios now reports 8gb ram where 12gb was installed. the board and ram are fine. it seems that maybe clover changes something in nvram?

 

how can I boot into uefi clover and revert the changes?

 

I did not know where else to post this message

[blackosx]

1. Gray images are always 256 so the metal dragon is not a proof.

2. The icon that I downloaded from you post show me planar image with 32bit only plane. May be there is another format?

3. 256pxl is not a problem for decoders. My background is larger.

The problem is menu layout with custom entries.

Hi Slice.

 

1 - Yes you are right. A full colour photo would suffer from the compression but a large percentage of images used in themes are small similarly styled icons which would benefit from the compression, especially any animation PNG files (black_green Anim_1_Logo_IntroOutro 1.5Mb vs 647Kb). So the majority of the PNG files in the themespkg dir COULD be compressed without any issue, if desired by the theme author. While any other PNG which requires full detail could remain without further compression.

 

2 - That's different terminology to what I'm used to so I had to look up the difference between a planar and interleaved image and now know what they are. I see load_icns.c supports both so that's good. However, I'm not sure what you mean by 32bit plane. What procedure do you use to determine that as the .png file used in that .icns file is 256 colour 8 bit per pixel?

Maybe the iconutil app is converting it?

 

3 - I should have said .icns decoder only. While on this topic, I know rEFIt used .icns so I guess that's why Clover also uses them, but in Clover's case, the .icns file is used only as a container for a 32x32 and 128x128 PNG image. Could Clover maybe not use .icns for the os images and instead just use .PNG like the other graphic files?

 

--------------------

 

@a1k0n

 

1 - Can you help identify the package installer error with the installer log? You can check by clicking the Window menu -> Installer Log.

 

2 - Try setting the Fast=True option.

<key>Fast</key>
<true/>

3 - Yes, the rc.scripts can be installed manually. You can download them directly from the repo

http://sourceforge.net/p/cloverefiboot/code/HEAD/tree/CloverPackage/CloverV2/etc/

 

EDIT: I think you will have to set the ownership/permissions of the scripts to root:wheel and 755.

[a1k0n]

@blackosx

 

Thx for help.

Which files i have to download? And where must i install this? (i think /etc right?)

<key>Fast</key>
<true/>

is set in config.plist

 

If i use an older Version from CLOVERX64.efi Timeout works but i can use FixAirport_4000 in config.plist and other options

 

 

[blackosx]

Yes. They go in to /etc

 

I suggested setting Fast=True because the config.plist you posted above has it set to false

<key>GUI</key>	<dict>		<key>DefaultVolume</key>		<string>Macintosh HD</string>		<key>Fast</key>		<false/>		<key>ScreenResolution</key>		<string>1650x1050</string>

What is the version number of CLOVERX64.efi that works for you? There have been many changes to Clover so maybe something else needs setting/changing.

[a1k0n]

@backosx

 

Sry i was playing arround with config.plist and set to test Fast - false. 

When i use CLOVERX64.efi from Clover_v2_r1995.pkg its works great but it can't Inject wlancard to Airport

 

 

Edit://

 

I was found something between boot.log from Clover_v2k_r2211 and boot.log Clover_v2k_r1995

In newer versions many things have changed and one of thes is your problem so you must change your config to this

<dict>

    <key>Boot</key>

    <dict>

        <key>Timeout</key>

        <integer>5</integer>

        <key>Arguments</key>

        <string>-v arch=i386 slide=0</string>

        <key>DefaultVolume</key>

        <string>MacHDD</string>

        <key>Log</key>

        <false/>

        <key>Fast</key>

        <true/>

    </dict>

but the best thing is to read the wiki

What is the latest news in using Mavericks GM with CloverGrowerPro.

 

Are there any known fixes available?

@devs

No fix is needed, as CGP was already updated to support 10.9.

 

If it doesn't work for you on Mav GM, then you are probably using the wrong Xcode...

Mav GM needs Xcode 5.0.1 GM (!) - even Xcode 5.0 does not have the 10.9 SDK.

 

After installing Xcode 5.0.1, rebuild the toolchain (erase toolchain directory from CGP, it will result in rebuilding it).

Then it should work.

[Pene]

Is this specific for me? Under r2218, I lost recovery icon at GUI. Should I add something in config?

 

r2184

1:115  0:000    Volume 'Recovery HD', OS 'ML', Icon(s) 'cougar,mac', GUID = B1CB8FFD-A38C-49ED-A6C6-B1696A2310EA

0:954  0:000    Volume 'Recovery HD', OS '', Icon(s) '<null string>', GUID = B1CB8FFD-A38C-49ED-A6C6-B1696A2310EA

 

Thanks,

Seems to me like this is not because of change in Clover, but because 10.9 recovery partition has a different layout. You guys probably installed 10.9, and your Recovery partition got updated. Didn't you?

 

Anyway, I added icon support for 10.9 recovery with r2220, so please check if it solves it for you.

 

And on a different note, the log lines you posted show in recent revisions icons only for Legacy. So I renamed now the debug at that place to LegacyIcon(s) to be clearer that nothing should appear there anymore for OSX.

The relevant debug to post if it doesn't work (as of r2220) would be the one looking like this:

4:461  0:001  20: 'Recovery HD'
4:462  0:000      Added 'Boot Recovery from Recovery HD': OSType='10', OSVersion='10.9'

Edit: Please check later revisions, as it includes further icon fixed.

Your attached Cloverx64.efi doesn't fix the lost Recovery partition in the GUI, but thanks for the effort.

 

Additionally I can now build in 10.9 with CloverGrowerPro but installation still fails...  Any thoughts, install log below.

 

Thanks

I have no idea about the installer, I don't use it, so perhaps someone else will help.

 

But I will appreciate if you attach your boot.log with r2220 where recovery icon does't show

OK, thanks...

Thanks Pene - much appreciated thank you, r2220 compiled fine and installed fine.

 

10.9 Gm is a great improvement, managed to fix the long standing iTunes errors in diskutilities by removing 8400 ACL files, plus "PowerNap" also works well here. Impressed!

[wishywashy]

I'm having trouble getting custom entries to show up at all on r2217 (or any revision for that matter). I followed the wiki. Here's that part of my config.plist. (Ignore the empty volume UUID)

 

[TimeWalker75a]

Type detection is horribly broken as of 2220.. the last revision I had compiled was 2194 and all of the type detection worked flawlessly.

Here's an image with 2194:

Left to right: Recovery HD 10.9, Windows 7 Professional bootmgfw.efi, Macintosh HD 10.8.5, Recovery HD 10.8.5, Macintosh SSD 10.9

 

Now, with 2219 and 2220:

Recovery HD from 10.9 seems to be the only partition that has it's type detected properly because it has custom entry defined for it. The other ones are just generic. 

 

UPD:

Fixed as of r2222!

Yes this was due to me separating legacy and uefi loader types. Should be fixed in r2222. 

 

@Pene I'm not sure I like r2220. It assumes too much about the case where SystemVersion.plist is not found and com.apple.recovery.boot\boot.efi is found. It might have been the issue I just fixed(r2222) that was the problem?

Maybe if we can't find the the SystemVersion.plist we should use the detection code from main.c:StartLoader(...)?(which you wrote right?) I think we would need to pass LOADER_ENTRY instead of REFIT_VOLUME though. That way we don't have to check all the different paths we can just use Entry->LoaderPath as the boot file to scan for version.

It would also reduce the number of places we look for OSversion .

Type detection is horribly broken as of 2220.. the last revision I had compiled was 2194 and all of the type detection worked flawlessly.

Here's an image with 2194:

Left to right: Recovery HD 10.9, Windows 7 Professional bootmgfw.efi, Macintosh HD 10.8.5, Recovery HD 10.8.5, Macintosh SSD 10.9

 

Now, with 2219 and 2220:

Recovery HD from 10.9 seems to be the only partition that has it's type detected properly because it has custom entry defined for it. The other ones are just generic. 

 

UPD:

Fixed as of r2222!

What theme are you using?

 

 

Tonight I'll reinstall my rig. Currently it's using Ozmosis as a bootloader, but I like Clover better. First it looks sleeker, has more options to configure and can be finetuned.

For one, I like the option to graphically switch OS'es. One thing I didn't manage to get working in Clover is the StartupDiskPreferencePane. I would like to be able to go into the settings, choose my desired startup volume (for example, I'm in OS X and I want to switch to Windows) and reboot into this. Why? I'm very mobile oriented and therefore I want to have full control over my PC at any distance. So with the PrefPane it would actually be possible to reboot into a different OS remotely. In the first post this is also stated as a feature.

Hi SoThor!

 

What you just fixed and this are actually two different issues...

 

Yes, I wrote the boot.efi version reading. But he reason I don't do it for all cases is because I prefer to avoid reading larger files (boot.efi is about 0.5 meg) during scan.

We could do all the OS X detection using boot.efi, as it's the most reliable, but it does add an overhead, and I don't think it's worth it.

 

Regarding Recovery - you can check yourself - com.apple.recovery.boot\SystemVersion.plist was removed from recovery partition as of 10.9.

We always got version for Recovery partitions using this file, it existed before, and we could successfully retrieve version using it.

I confirmed on multiple systems that SystemVersion.plist exists for 10.7 and 10.8 recovery partitions (and contains the proper version) but doesn't exist at all for 10.9 recovery. If you know of a case where this is not true, please do let me know. Additionally Clover completely relies on this file for detecting versions for all OSX (regular+server+recovery), and this currently seems the only case where it's not there.

 

Honestly, I don't like these kinds of heuristics either, and I added it without liking it Actually Clover contained similar assumptions about Installer, all of which I removed when I added boot.efi version detection.

For Installer I think it's OK to just use the "mac" icon type in menu (as it's a one-time boot which disappears after). But for Recovery - as it stays there - I think it's better to actually have the OS version so it is displayed properly in menu.

 

And regarding assuming too much - what's the risk? Worst case scenario is ending up with the wrong icon for Recovery (which shouldn't happen anyway). So I think that overall this is currently the best solution for this. And I will keep an eye open to see if anything changes in this regard.

@ Devs.

 

Still issues with CGP using Mavericks. The first build since a rebuild of CGP in 10.9 worked fie revision 222o,

 

But I am una to build 2223 it fails with and error

make[1]: *** [/Users/tonydickinson/CloverGrowerPro/edk2/Clover/CloverPackage/sym/clover-genconfig/clover-genconfig] Error 65
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

I have deleted and rebuilt it but always same error. Searching around it appears to be a mismatch with the new and current builds(?),

 

any ideas?.

 

If it of any note I still have 10.8.5 loaded on another disk with CGP loaded there as well and whoa the same error there as well.

 

Edit: R2224 compiled ok. Tks.
