Thank you Hervé

It would be nice to get native NVRam with Clover. It's really weird, 'cause I have native NVRam with OC, and Clover have OC integrations...

It's really strange. Native NVRAM works due to Openruntime.efi and the quirk AvoidRuntimeDefrag=true.

Hi,

It's been a long time that I don't have the battery tab in energy saver settings on my laptop.

I've read about setting system-type to 2 in /Library//Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist. Doesn't work.

1) Could you check if you have that battery tab in energy saver if you have a laptop ?

2) Anyone know how to get it back ?

Thanks.

This is FACP responsibility: newFadt->PreferredPmProfile

See, trace or debug what is wrong on your side.

I have another question to you.

When I choose "config-2.plist" in GUI then it will be loaded and applied... When? Isn't too late?

Can we restart Clover almost from initial but with new name "config-2.plist" stored somewhere? Or, for example restart after construct_globals_objects().

I just don't see where config.plist was read.

There is also newFadt->Header.Revision = EFI_ACPI_4_0_FIXED_ACPI_DESCRIPTION_TABLE_REVISION;

that influences on system-type.

Hi @Jief_Machak the tag 4 error has been happening for a long time, and even on the last commits. I upload the old CLOVERX64.efi commit c10a0b7, to reproduce the warning issue.

Hi @Jief_Machak as @Matgen84 reports it's been there for quite some time.

If you try to even click on the same config.plist you load by default i.e. not change in the list, you still get that tag:4 warning (I refer to the config choosing menus in Clover options in boot-time).

It is not related to configurations, I believe, but some other residue check that's causing the error.

Nevertheless, here is again my config (with removed serials) for your testing.

Again, try selecting on your own Clover options the loaded main config -- you will get the error.

Unless there's something that we all missed in config as a parameter and keep using it LOL
Merci encore!

@Slice In the latest build of Clover, the comment to the build is "take into account CometLake CI #349"

Can you explain what changed for CometLake?

Thanks

I don't remember details but when you use connectorless frame for IGPU then Clover make additional tuning. Now for CometLake IGPU 0x9BC80003 as well.

I am not sure if it is right but my Skylake graphics works with it.

Hello to all. I was running the clover plist validator and got the following warning: invalid NULL char at offset 6910. Replace by a space.

Where in the config file I should fix this / how do I know where to fix this warning in the config file?

If you will use sleep-wake mode 0 cycle then you may increase flash memory life.

Clover is the best bootloader ever existing which provides sleep-wake capabilities.

What is "sleep-wake mode 0 cycle" and how does one use it?

Look this post:

deeveedee · December 3, 2021

@Allan Thank you. I didn't interpret Herve's "I'd say this referred to hibernatemode 0" as definitive (more of a guess).

EDIT: Slice's comment "Clover is the best bootloader ever existing which provides sleep-wake capabilities." makes it appear that this is somehow unique to CLOVER, yet hibernatemode is a macOS construct, independent of the bootloader. "pmset -a hibernatemode 0" is part of my standard config for a hack.

EDIT2: I'll interpret Slice's "Thumbs up" on the next post as confirmation of "hibernatemode 0" and other pmsettings.

in addition to the post quoted by @Allan , I prepare my system ready like this by terminal command :

sudo pmset autopoweroff 0
sudo pmset powernap 0
sudo pmset standby 0
sudo pmset tcpkeepalive 0
sudo pmset proximitywake 0

(these commands are taken from another guide)

Tested with Clover 5142 , works fine for me.

open your config.plist with some hex-editor to see invisible characters.

Suggestion: Rename Feature: GUI > PlayAsync to PlaySimult

"Async" is really not the correct term used here. And in the context of audio, if something is asynchronous, it's mostly always bad.

The default playback mode of the chime is sequential: chime first, then boot sequence

Enabling "PlayAsync" plays the bootchime simultaneously to the ongoing boot sequence – but that's not asynchronous, it's non-sequential or parallel.

In other words: Asynchronous doesn't really describe what is going on here and has a negative connotation in regards to audio.

Hi, Slice:

I need your help to fix my sleep/wake issue by Clover 5142 in Asus B85M-G hackintoshs.

All of my other 10 hackintoshs had no such an issue by Clover 5142 or OpenCore 0.7.5.

No such an issue in Windows 11 or 10 either.

Signature: MB ASUS B85M-G; GPU Intel HD 4600; DRAM 1600MHz DDR3 16GB

When I try to force it sleep it always automatically wake up about 5~10 sec after screen off.

Change SMBIOS to iMac17,1 or iMac19,1 not working to fix it.

Add SSDT-GPRW.aml, SSDT-UPRW.aml neither working.

Patch ACPI 06/0D in vain too.

Unfortunately, I don't have that bug when I select either the same or another config.

So :

1) try with the latest build

2) remove your serials if you want to, and check that the bug is still there

3) remove all the logs in misc, except the last one when the problem occurs

4) send me the whole CLOVER folder

Hi.

No this Warning isn't related to Bios Version and Release Date from SMBIOS

Bios Version and Release Date (and Efi Version) Warnings were fixed with commits 07b993b and e036b3d in r5141.

"Warning : 'Tag 4' was already defined. Previous value ignored." results from ACPI DSDT Fixes check in rEFIt_UEFI/Settings/ConfigPlist/Config_ACPI_DSDT.cpp lines 31 or 46

What I don't get is why the message is ":4", which means that xmlPath is empty... I need to reproduce to see what's going on inside.

This "Press any text" bug is something that puzzle for a while. I can find that text message anywhere in Clover.

Send me the debug.log, to check if Clover even started. CAUTION : if clover doesn't start at all, you won't have a log. Be careful to not confuse with an old log. Remove all logs before trying.

[Z390 config] I test from an USB pendrive using BLC. At startup, I press a key to enter in BLC menu. Then I select my CloverX64-5142-eebffc9.efi; there is only BLC menu. I can't boot Clover, so no debug.log
[IvbyBridge] I update Clover to your latest commit (without BLC): no problem.

EDIT:

Temporally solved. I don't know how, it's a mystery 😇

@Jief_Machak @Slice

Good afternoon night

I have a question:

- it would be possible to put this code of OpenCore Legacy Patcher in Clover config

I use some Hackintosh that I need to patch to activate the graphics NOT metal

to be able to use this patch we must use an ARG "amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1" which blocks Micro and Webcam authorizations on Chrome, Edge and more places

with this last code we can use without problems

I use Google Translate but any doubts I can try to use other translate to facilitate

since already thanks
