[pre-release] macOS High Sierra 10.13.1

[fantomas]

New seed... macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 beta (17B25c)

 

[mnfesq]

Wow! 2.03 GB update.

[Cyberdevs]

Really? This fast!

[Kynyo]

  System Version: macOS 10.13.1 (17B25c)

  Kernel Version: Darwin 17.2.0

  Boot Volume: macOS

  Boot Mode: Normal

  Secure Virtual Memory: Enabled

  System Integrity Protection: Disabled

 

  Time since boot: 3 minutes

 

All good. Installed just NVWebDriverLibValFix.kext to be safe. Not any patches at all. iMac 14,2. Ozmosis.

What was the fix for "OSInstall.mpkg appears to be missing or damaged" again? 

 

Trying to install the 10.13.1 beta 1 update, but it gives me this error. Never had this before 

 

Clover r4223, Legacy in ESP.

 

EDIT: Strange. The update went without any issues on my Probook, but on my Optiplex 790 I keep getting the above error. All drives (except macOS of course) disconnected 

 

 

 

EDIT2: Cleared nvram cache, redownloaded the update (again...) and now it installed fine.

new 'AppleSMCPMC'

Required SMC Generation 3 to load.

Required SMC Generation 3 to load.

How we can know which generation we have?

How we can know which generation we have?

you see it in ioregexplorer i believe that you have generation 2?

but you can change it via smc-key

RGEN  [ui8 ]  3 (bytes 03

[mitch_de]

Do i understand rigth, the new  AppleSMCPMC (new in HS?) needs an new  smc-key RGEN [ui8 ] to get loaded.

And that key will be added by some newer Fakesmc versions?

 

But for what is AppleSMCPMC used and what happens (most didt have it) if it isnt loaded.?

Thanks

My laptop took the .1 beta with no issues but has caused nothing but grief with my desktop. Desktop refuses to finish .1 beta installation, boots to nothing.

Maybe ill just stick to testing on my laptop on keep desktop for official point releases.

the Generation smc-key is used since first beta of HS and the AppleSMCPMC Client since 10.13.1. and can be added to any fakesmc.

i think but I'm not sure that has something to do with power management,

we need more test to know it.

 

Edit:

its a part of AppleIntelPCHPMC.kext

by the way apple added pci8086,a2a1 device id for intel 200 series chipset into AppleIntelPCHPMC.kext

Hi,

 

@Sherlocks, Neodarkman, Others

 

has there been a change in the broadcom wireless patches for 10.13.1 or something?

Back to not being able to turn the wifi on.

My card is Broadcom BCM4352 Azurewave AW-CE123H WiF i+ BT 867Mbps Bluetooth 4.0 Hackintosh.

older patches produce kernel panic. am on clover 4223

 

Please help

Hmm I'll check it here.

 

My hack uses the 3º gen of Intel CPUs, that's why I'm worried about. 

Problems with PM get me nuts! 

 

Thanks for the info buddy 

[mitch_de]

What in meaning   "generation"?

SMC generation (like SMC version) or cpu generation (IVY, SANDY, SKYLAKE, ...) or intel chipset generation ?

Thanks

I think its the same as other products from apple like AppleTV Gen. 1/2/3/4/5, and here is it for the smc chipset .

yeah got it going the same way earlier

Thanks

I figured that in High Sierra I don't need the handoff patch anymore on my Asus BT400 bluetooth dongle, Handoff is supported OOB.

Finder is still laggy, windowserver high cpu when scrolling over content. Metal 2 not so good nvidia

Are you sure Webdriver loaded ? High CPU means often no acceleration = laggy Windowserver (window move, scrolling laggy) because CPU must work much.

I am on GT 1030  and there is no such problem.

[Kynyo]

Yep, webdrivers are loaded. I think it's MTL bug.  

Bug action when I'm scrolling a lot of content inside one folder.

The following app is a game changer when it comes to smooth scrolling everywhere.

Apart from fps drops in games with HS, OS UX itself and window server etc... all OS components are butter smooth with Nvidia (with app mentioned above)

[Kynyo]

Indeed, it helped! Thank you! I didn't knew about this great app!
