Those menus are intended to be drawn by GraphicsMenuStyle.

And where is it?

  if (AllowGraphicsMode) {
//    Style = &REFIT_MENU_SCREEN::GraphicsMenuStyle;
    if (ThemeX.VerticalLayout) {
      m_MainStyle = &REFIT_MAINMENU_SCREEN::MainMenuVerticalStyle;
    } else {
      m_MainStyle = &REFIT_MAINMENU_SCREEN::MainMenuStyle;
    }
  }else{
    m_MainStyle = &REFIT_MAINMENU_SCREEN::TextMenuStyle;
  }

I've committed now.

This commit is a refactoring, as usual. Which means, report the least behaviour change, please, but DON'T modify your config to workaround.

The specific point I'd like to be tested, is custom entries and sub entries. If you have some of them configured, please test that it goes as usual.

Thanks.

 

Hi Jief

I try to test "sub entries" with Clover r5131 (commit ff4c90b : Finish refactoring of custom entries settings)

just wana start "Big Sur Preboot" in verbose mode with a sub entry in custom entry to test "sub entry" but Big Sur  boots without verbose mode on std output.

I've committed a Qemu folder, in which you can easily start under control of gdb to catch where the panic message come from. It'll considerably speed up the bug resolution.

To use :

 - regenerate your basetools to recompile GenFW

- install qemu with brew (super easy)

- install gdb with brew (super easy too, but wait...)

- codesign gdb. That's a bit annoying. Well there is plenty of guide over the internet and it doesn't take long. The thing is : if you got this error with a very good self explanatory message, you may have to create in your login keychain instead os System and move it after. I was able once to create in System, some time ago, but not anymore. This should work : https://gist.github.com/hlissner/898b7dfc0a3b63824a70e15cd0180154

If it doesn't work first time, it's not because of custom parameter of the certificate. No need to waste your time with that. The field you need to change are specify in the guide. It's really a problem of having your keychain unlock to create the certificate.

 

If you got a panic message, compile with GCC53 toolchain, DEBUG version, then start Qemu/gdb_launch (not need in a the folder). When you got your panic agin, gdb should give you a prompt "(gdb) ". Just type bt, return and send us the backtrace. It looks like this and it's super helpful

Sometime, in the backtrace, you get a lot of line before (means below) RefitMain. No need for that.

 

Hope you'll try. I'll assist.

That a post I made to explain how to get the backtrace on a panic.

Very easy once you've installed gdb.

 

For example, I added a panic line 729:

1003848437_Screenshot2021-03-25at00_19_21.png.cc0265fda1272b043cf4ae57e9718126.png

 

Compile a DEBUG_GCC53 version, launch ./Qemu/gdb_launch and you get :

Breakpoint 2, panic_ (Python Exception <type 'exceptions.NameError'> Installation error: gdb.execute_unwinders function is missing: 
format=0x7ddb1938 "sdfsdf", va=0x7fcef488 "\377\377\377\377\377\377\377\377", <incomplete sequence \372\316\177>) at /JiefLand/5.Devel/Clover/Clover-projects/Clover--CloverHackyColor--master.2/rEFIt_UEFI/Platform/Posix/abort.cpp:37
37	  egSetGraphicsModeEnabled(false);
(gdb) 

Enter "bt" for backtrace and that's it :

(gdb) bt

(gdb) 

Notice the "REFIT_MAINMENU_SCREEN.cpp:729" on the frame #2.

 

That way you'll get the exact line where most likely a loop among MainMenu.entries is wrong.

 

 

I can do it if you send me the Qemu img AND the "./Build/Clover/DEBUG_GCC53/X64/CLOVERX64.debug" file, generated at the compilation of the CloverX64.efi that's in the img. Any other, from a previous compilation, won't work.

I'll have a look. I'm sure what is " I type "Space" on the penguin", though.

 

For gdb, If you don't put any parameter, it'll get the one in Build/Clover/DEBUG_GCC53/X64 folder. Both CloverX64.debug and CloverX64.are needed.

Then, you have to wait more. Qemu is extremely slow to launch. Gdb can only start when Clover will have printed something like "CloverX64 : Image base = 0x7DC38000". It can take 30/40 seconds sometimes.

It worth having that working because locating panic (and therefore bug) happens in a matter of seconds.

Have a go and tell me if it work.

Ok, fixed.

Explanation :

gdb back trace shows that the crash happens at REFIT_MENU_SCREEN.cpp:1555 when "GraphicsMenuStyle()" tries to access Entries[0] without checking if there is at least one entry in the array.

762687207_Screenshot2021-03-26at00_21_25.png.6b51ef6c023ccff0bc4eb3ada457a797.png

Problem is that the menu for linux entries was empty.

 

A look at "AddDefaultMenu()" shows that there is some test about the loader type :

  if (LoaderType == OSTYPE_OSX ||
      LoaderType == OSTYPE_OSX_INSTALLER ||
      LoaderType == OSTYPE_RECOVERY) { // entries for Mac OS X
	// add some entries
  } else if (LoaderType == OSTYPE_LINEFI) {
	// add some entries
  } else if ((LoaderType == OSTYPE_WIN) || (LoaderType == OSTYPE_WINEFI)) {
	// add some entries
  }

Problem is : what happen if it's none of the above, like OSTYPE_LIN for example ?

Answer : no entry at all is added.

 

As a rule of thumb : never leave a test like this (which is equivalent to a C switch) without a default action.

I've added an else condition with one default entry.

 

In this particular case, maybe OSTYPE_LIN is wrong.

And if it's right, these probably better to do for os type OSTYPE_LIN. But I don't the linux boot process.

Unfortuantely I'm facing another issue right now. 

I'm trying to install a Catalina 10.15.7 supplemental patch with Clover v5131 (commit sha in log name), but I can't see the Installer entry, therefore I can't boot from it. It isn't there even with "Show hidden entries".

Same with Clover v5130

 

screenshot0.thumb.png.dd75353d89f2ee65956c741a49f93790.png

 

It's okay with Clover v5128 (can't test v5129 because I can't find the .efi):

screenshot1.thumb.png.75eac7a19b9e47df47e2249723605754.png

 

attaching debug logs. 

I saw another person with this issue, he was right:

https://github.com/CloverHackyColor/CloverBootloader/issues/380

 

EDIT: also saw that a lot of Clover release zips are just gone from the Release page

2021-3-25_21-47_CloverX64-RELEASE_XCODE8-20210322154001-829fd04.efi.log preboot_v5128.log

does not start macOS, you reload the Clover GUI as when you perform the NVRAM reset, but you do not start catalina or even big sur; other OS I haven't tried 

 

 

same here also there is no options menu or help or any response
