deeveedee Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Upgrade from OC 0.8.1 to OC 0.8.2 was painless. Thank you Developers! My simple upgrade steps for my rig are listed here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeveedee Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Developers - I am now using ResetNvramEntry.efi driver argument --preserve-boot in my config.plist and am pleased with the way my BIOS boot order is preserved following NVRAM Reset. I think it would also be convenient if the Open Core boot-picker default were preserved. Just a suggestion. Thanks again for your tireless work! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdesign Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I've updated to 0.8.2 with little issue but ocvalidate gives me this error: NOTE: This version of ocvalidate is only compatible with OpenCore version 0.8.2! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ok nothing to worry about, it's just to affirm that it is being used with the correct OC version, the feature was added some versions ago. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henties Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) I am now utilising the opencore config.plist file to facilitate easier access to system information, configuration peculiarities as well as maintenance by embedding complete hardware as well as software information in the first # entries of the opencore "Root" section All hardware installed is listed in detail as well as all third party software, which was added, including their serial numbers and their distribution among the macOS operating systems in use, on the respective hardware platform. Software licensing keys could also be added, however I prefer that information to not be generally accessible. No more guessing what has been installed when one controls a multitude of different computers. A sample of a config.plist file has been attached of which the first few #ed entries could be used as a template for anybody interested to also follow this route. Greetings Henties Updated the config.plist file to also include configuration details of all internally connected storage devices. Enjoy or destroy. Final config.plist Edited July 15, 2022 by Henties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luky35 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I have a short question. I have macOS and Windows 11 installed. With Bootice I tried like usual changing which OS starts first, boot I saw that Bootice for OpenCore doesn’t work. Is there any other setting that changes which OS Starts first from the boot menu. Thanks and greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I indeed used to use a separate text file but recently decided instead to store my system specs in the "preamble section" of the respective OC config.plist files. As far as this method applies to my particular environment it seems well suited to serve my needs with respect to the storage and ultimate retrieval of relevent configuration information. I am indeed in the process of extending this to also include a "storage section" which will reflect partitioning and formatting details of each and every internally installed HDD, NVMe as well as SSD drive. In my environment I am altogether controlling 10 desktop computers with a total of: 12 Diverse macOS operating systems 9 Diverse Windows operating systems 7 Diverse Ubuntu operating systems 24 Diverse Virtual machines Keeping all these operating systems and the software installed on them up to date is a mammoth task, with the method I adopted now beating anything, .text file based, which I used before, hands down.

Guest 5T33Z0 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Exactly: it applies to your specific, very niche approach to managing your system. It's not something that's advisable in general. A screenshot would have been enough. Nobody should take this as an example of applying this to their config. And you should ask yourself why you are hording that many Operating Systems… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete the folder and see if it returns after rebooting If so, enabling Misc/Security/BlacklistAppleUpdate might resolve it. But I am not sure.

miliuco Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 @bisdak4920 @5T33Z0 I think this folder is created only on updates or installations and, once deleted, only comes back in a new update. Deleting it has no effect on the hackintosh side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luky35 Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) I edited the boot menu according to the instruction from YouTube, which is attached. In the boot menu, I now have the Other OS icon and not Windows as I entered in the config.plist. Now the first macOS loads normally as I wanted. If I click the Other OS icon, Windows loads. Everything is OK, I'm just not happy with the icon, but I can't fix it. Link Spoiler Edited July 16, 2022 by luky35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
