For your information  latest opencore upstream is working with NDKbootpicker release 11 (the problem with rel 12) except one issue custom entries is vanished so i revered back to older stream 

 

Yes, with the original OC+GUI, the custom WINDOWS entry will still appear in the first entry, if you press the space, the custom WINDOWS and the scanned WINDOWS will appear at the same time, but with the FORK, you won't have this problem!

*sigh*

This is not about admiting a bug, it's just likely not our bug again. The password code has been updated and likely you have not recompiled the GUI to correct the call (-> invalid memory access).

If we got a proper report with exact info and logs, that'd help over "does not work, muh fix" for when it is fine for all known testers.

@n.d.k

the problem of the password issue i can confirm started with latest OC upstream after adding the option Miss->boot->pickeraudioassist  with  Ndkbootpicker release 12

but with ndkbootpicker release 11  latest OC upstream working but without custom entries 

 

NdkBootPicker.efi 0.1.2 binary has been recompiled and updated to reflect OcInterface revision bump to 2.  All audio features has not yet implemented on NdkBootPicker.efi.

 

And for those who has trouble compiling the source, please do a fresh git clone and compile before reporting here. All new commits are always compiled successfully before pushed out to github.

 

Keep in mind, when trying out the new features or any changes that just landed, bugs are expected!.

I did a clean build of the latest upstream OpenCore commit, and the password thing still happens. Only thing I retained from the OC fork was my config.plist file, so I'm thinking it's probably cause by an option or a combination of options set in config.plist.

 

When I get some time, I'll start turning options off to see if I can narrow down which option(s) seem to be causing it.

Yeah same here, tried with the default oc + ndkbootpicker and was getting the password thing still, reverted to an older version from 2 days ago or so for now.

 

Tried changing some stuff and checking the sample config but everything seemed to match so dunno.

Support of the voice assistant is present in official OpenCore. What do you want to do on another?

BootChimeDxe.efi isn't required for OpenCore,  Chime is implemented in OpenCore.

Therefore isn't necessary this note.

What I meant is all audio functions which OC just implemented are not yet working with NdkBootPicker.efi.

How do I get rid of the "Password:" prompt?

 

You misconfigure somewhere...i never seen a password prompt...

remove the EnablePassword key if you have it in your config.plist.

The configuration file has not been changed except for the addition of new options, and many people have encountered this problem, why do you all say that you have not encountered it, strange!

No more password issue here either using the latest built commit of the customized fork, YAY!

Icons not named correctly causing an OS not to boot due to a critical error sounds like a potential bug to me, IMO. At the very least if an icon is missing or not named correctly the OC fork should ignore it and allow it to boot without the critical error.

If I keep pressing the ESC key in the GUI interface, this will happen!

Can confirm this. You can 'fix' it by pressing the spacebar a couple of times and it'll reset back to normal.

Absolutely. I'm agree with you. This issue doesn't exist in Clover, if I remember well.

 

I think that @n.d.k found the solution for OC fork and NDKBootPicker.

Can confirm password issue is not an issue anymore with the last build.

 

Has anything changed about custom entries? I cannot boot into windows 10 anymore or being more specific now I have a Bootcamp windows option in boot menu but instead of booting Windows it boots my linux partition. I set as usual a new entry under Misc-->Entries, the path is correct checked through shell and clover boot loader. 

While the other entry that is named Pop_OS! linux doesn't work at all. Maybe I wrote the wrong path the device is correct then \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI

 

Oh and now the default mode is showing all the optional entries. Need to press spacebar to hide. 

Thank you
