It also needs com.projectosx.clover.daemon.plist in /Library/Application Support/LaunchDaemons (which must be activated with launchctl), aswell as /etc/rc.clover.lib ! Although I didn't test the newest version...

And /Library/Application Support/Clover/CloverDaemon is needed.

The newest version didn't change that mechanism. The following is not necessary if the script got installed from the clover installer.

 

One can place a logouthook though:

sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /etc/rc.shutdown.d/80.save_nvram_plist.local

nvram brightness save test

 

summary

r3960 : work

r3961 : not work

your new script : not work

 

your script always hold brightness 100% after boot

The new script saves in your root partition, as you posted before. There must be somewhere else another nvram.plist, who got read from clover.

Can you find it and delete it?

Maybe look for `bdmesg|grep nvram.plist` where it got loaded.

i have only nvram file in root.

 

already tested remove and see result. but still not success.

my steps for test

1. install clover from 3961 full pkg

2. test brightness, etc, nvram is not work properly. 

 

i downloaded old script from r3960 repo. and like you said, i did terminal command.

 

it's work. as result, your script has something wrong.

I'm assuming you have first tested with the newest script (with LogoutHook as well?)...

 

I don't want to force anybody to use it, but it is needed for FileVault 2 and I'm more then willing to fix this issue. You are free to use the old one. But I like to debug it with you.

Latest clover has your script. It needs to fix this issue.

 

I'm in late time.

So if you attached some files, i will give you information and report after i wake up or have free time.

Could you please post the result of the following:

diskutil list

I don't see any issue for having an EFI partition. I even think if you ever try to repair your disk in macOS, it will ensure that an EFI partition exists.

 

Whatever the case maybe for not having an EFI partition, I'll post soon a newer version of the script with a fallback to the root partition, if there is no EFI partition. With that it should work for everybody (I think).

 

Sorry for any inconvenience.

 

Edit: Here is the script with the fallback to the root partition. For everyone else just copy it to its location and change its executable bit:

sudo cp ~/Downloads/80.save_nvram_plist.local.txt /etc/rc.shutdown.d/80.save_nvram_plist.local
sudo chmod 755 /etc/rc.shutdown.d/80.save_nvram_plist.local

If you don't have ESP then it's impossible to do anything here..

Actually the updated script saves to root partition of the boot volume as fallback, if it can't find or save to the ESP.

Did you test it?

 

Edit: I mean not the script from r3961, but from post #11942

 

i found wrong code.

this is

 

function saveNVRAM {

    local rootDevice=$(LC_ALL=C diskutil info /|awk '{ if ($1 == "Device" && $2 == "Node:") {print $3}}' | sed -nE 's#^/dev/([^ ]*).*#\1#p')
 

 

it cause to not properly work nvram save after reboot.

 

i returned this code from old script.

 

    local rootDevice=$(df -l / | sed -nE 's#^/dev/([^ ]*).*#\1#p')

 

i checked it. brightness and other values are working.

 

you find solution to fix this issue from this hint.

 

i edited your latest script in dropbox.

Cool. I just need to test it with a core storage volume too, which is needed for Fusion drives or FileVault.

 

Edit: It works as well. Thanks again.

Old script uses command "df -i" which will not find EFI partition and so can't be used for new purpose.

Although you are right, it is not necessary in this case. That line from Sherlocks is used only in fallback case, that means if the script can't find or can't save to EFI partition, it will fallback to root, which is fine with "df -i" even on core storage.

No, it is not safe to EFI

NVRAM saved to '/nvram.plist' [disk1s3]

It is root volume.

i updated 10.12.3 dp1 today. after updating osx, reboot system, clover automately enter windows drive(i installed windows 7).

i don't see problem in previous clover(r3960 or older). i set default boot volume "Macintosh SSD". but once fail. after booted windows 7, reboot system. i have to enter "Macintosh SSD". and 2nd boot, no problem.

 

maybe nvram has still problem.

Check after reboot, if you have "efi-boot-device" in your NVRAM and post the result of the following after a reboot in macOS please:

bless --info --getBoot

Your issue with 10.12.3 has to do with clover can't correctly or won't set "efi-boot-device" in your NVRAM, and has nothing to do with the script. Please read the bug report.

bash-3.2# diskutil list
