Definitely, however personally I don't see an advantage in the first place, it's not like someone would just choose to change their language from one day to the other. The (potential) disadvantage remains however. 3 hours ago, MacNB said: What the purpose of the KB language variable in the config file if it not used (for other purposes) ? I actually checked the docs (I was not involved with implementing anything audio at all... gladly) and indeed that variable is used to determine the language already. I don't believe that is the best choice, but it works I suppose. I misuderstood the original suggestion, organization by folder would work too, but for that there also is no real advantage. At worst you have two sets, your native language and english in case something goes wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it just can't reach the resources folder for some reason. Also, make sure you also added OpenCanopy.efi to config. I sometimes forget to include it in the config. Common mistake, I guess. So...just double checking. the opencanopt.efi is always added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set up a Manjaro Architect os linux kernel 5.7, qemu 5.0, libvirt 5.10.0. All is working quite good, including gpu passthrough, but it boots only with "-cpu Penryn". I would like to boot qemu with "-cpu host" for different reasons, but I can't..the system boots fine with "-cpu host" on the non opensource os. I don't know if this related to opencore bootloader itself, to config or other, because opencore freezes at "Wathdog status is 1" on screen and on "OCCPU: Detected Apple Processor Type: 00 -> 0903" in the log file. I'm attaching 3 logs: 1- boot ok with Penryn cpu (Manjaro) 1-boot-ok-manjaro-penryn.txt 2- boot NOT ok with host-passthrough cpu (Manjaro) 2-boot-NOT-ok-manjaro-host-passthrough.txt 3- boot ok with host-passthrough cpu (non opensource os) 3-boot-ok-non-opensource-os-host-passthrough.txt Thanks to anyone for suggestions. Update: a friend suggested to look into ScanIntelProcessor You can take a look at my config.plist which allows for the use of -cpu host. https://github.com/Pavo-IM/Proxintosh/blob/master/OpenCore/config.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Font, Label, Audio... All that. Also, since I think OpenCore is quite picky when it comes to spelling, just make sure it's "Resources" and "Image" (no "s"). And first letter is uppercase.

I'd like to take a look at it (fi you agree, of course). It's quite strange that it works fine with BuiltIn picker, but it doesn't work with OpenCanopy.

You missed out the Font, Label & Audio folders For the audio folder (it's very very large) you can delete all the audio files that are not for your language.

arsradu Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Yeah, also, PickerAttributes was set to 0. So...no chance that was going to use those Resources, however limited, in the first place. Glad to hear it's working now. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shhbz Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 @MacNB @hardcorehenry any idea what is causing the computer to not wake from sleep as to me it seems the WIFI card as when I hard press the power button I see Wifi unable to connect to any network and PC hangs. This happens when I use XCHI port limit with Acpi patch. Observation 2: when using USB.kext created the computer not going to sleep at all, as soon the cpu fan goes off it turns on again and hangs the pc completely and even here the Wifi shows disconnected and trying to connect to a wifi but rest all hangs up.

All I was suggesting was to structure the Resources Audio folder with sub-folders for each language.E.g.: OC/Resources/Audio/Audio_ar OC/Resources/Audio/Audio_ca etc etc Like so: Yeep. That is pretty much what I had in mind, as well. Looks soo much cleaner. I mean, it's obviously not a priority or something. But if it can be implemented sometime in the future, without causing too much trouble...+1 for me. Edited May 12, 2020 by arsradu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Configuration document, it is not clear what "failsafe=0" means. It states: 5. PickerAttributesType: plist integerFailsafe: 0Description: Sets specific attributes for picker. So, I think 0= display default icons as seen the Image folder and anything else, display according to OC_ATTR_USE_VOLUME_ICON, OC_ATTR_USE_DISK_LABEL_FILE, etc attributes. Also, it is not clear where to place the <TOOL_NAME>.icns files. E.g. I created a Restart icon file and named it ResetSystem.icns (to match the ResetStystem.efi tool) and placed that file in the Image Folder AND placed a copy in the Tools folder but OpenCanopy does not display that icon with PickerAttributes = 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, in the instructions provided here, you need to set it to at least 1. And, in my experience, that's not enough since it doesn't allow to load all the resources. That's why I recommended 15 which gives a totally different, more refined, result. Edited May 12, 2020 by arsradu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With PickerAttributes = 0, I get the default icons in the Image folder: With PickerAttributes =1 (which I use normally), I get the .VolumeIcons.icns displayed: With PickerAttributes = 15, I get an undesired boot picker: Yes it's early days for OpenCanopy and I'm sure the docs/functionality will improve. 1 hour ago, Andrey1970 said: PickerAttributes = 1 for use .VolumeIcon.icns Audio folder it is possible to delete, if not required Audio.

I have created icons for ColdReset and Shutdown for the ResetSystem.efi tool but how do I display it ? Indeed, we seem to have different results. With anything other than 15, and UIScale 2 I get different text sizes (also different labels, as you mentioned), which is probably a bug, but in the meantime, I prefer this. Also, I think with PickerAttributes 1 you don't get that white rim around the selection and no grey fill-in color for the arrow underneath. Could be wrong, or maybe it's only on my PC. But yeah, that's why, at least for now, I prefer setting it to 15. Seems to give me a more complete result overall. My Windows partition is named "Windows" with PickerAttributes=1 (but also it's barely readable due to the very small text compared to the other drives) and "BOOTCAMP Windows" (with all text properly displayed) when set to 15. So...it's never "OtherOS" for me... That would be pretty inconvenient, indeed. :)) Also, I don't use "Cold Reset" and "Shutdown" (they do seem pretty useful from time to time though)...but I think my Reset NVRAM option, which I do use, was always displayed "Reset NVRAM". Not "tool". :)) Could be another bug. Edited May 12, 2020 by arsradu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
