[How To] Manual installation of Security Update 2006-003 to a 10.4.6 install

[quixos]

Manual installation of Security Update 2006-003 to a 10.4.6 install ---INTEL ONLY---

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

obtain SecUpd2006-003Intel.dmg, and Pacifist 2.0, from Charlessoft.com

 

Install Pacifist 2.0 to your Applications folder

 

mount SecUpd2006-003Intel.dmg

right click on the SecUpd2006-003Intel.pkg and "Open with" >> "Other", navigate to Pacifist 2.0 you've installed

in your Applications Folder.

 

Pacifist will open and a 15 second timer will run, as it is unregistered. click on "Not Yet"

 

in Pacifist, click on the triangles to expand System and Library.

 

use Ctrl, to select EVERYTHING, ONE AT A TIME, EXCEPT --- System, Library, and CoreServices

 

do not select them all at once using shift.

do not deselect anything.

if System, Library, or CoreServices is accidently selected, shut down and restart Pacifist, reselect

 

 

 

type in your password to authenticate when required

 

two popups will come up, "Bundle Already Exists" and "File Already Exists",

check "Don't Ask Again..." for both,

click on "Update" for Bundles,

click on "Replace" for Files

 

after installation of files completes, Reboot.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

as soon as you get into OS X, open Disk Utility from your Applications/Utilities folder and repair permissions on

your OS X installation, then open terminal and type...

 

sudo update_prebinding -root / -force

 

(ignore "temp file missing /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM/framework/Versions/1.5.0/Libraries/libclient_redoprebinding.dylib" it causes no problems)

I used the above method but missed:

'do not select them all at once using shift.

do not deselect anything.

if System, Library, or CoreServices is accidently selected, shut down and restart Pacifist, reselect'

 

I used SemjaZaSecUpd003.dmg to allow finder to start after reboot.

If I had followed instruction would I have not had to use this file?

Standing on the shoulders of giants.

[quixos]

free30, correct, you wouldn't have had to. the guide is standalone complete. however updating later with Semjaza files would have been a good next step, if you hadn't done it already. you ended up where you need to be.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but what's the deal with AMD? Using the old Maxxuss AMD_Enabler won't work?

[XanthraX]

Don't forget, before the first reboot, to look for /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, select the startup disk and repair the permissions, or type in terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) diskutil repairPermissions /

 

...or your system go freeze after the reboot.

 

In this case, you have only one alternative, boot in safe mode and repair the permissions

[aberracus]

how do one boot in safe mode?

[munky]

f8 at startup, type -x -s

[munky]

Shouldn't Ctrl be Command when multi-selecting in Pacifist?

[amdprophet]

I'm sure this has been asked and possibly answered already, but will this be available to AMD users any time soon?

[miguelcerca]

super sweet, first you get the 10.4.6 manual install, and now the update

fantastic

thanks

[aberracus]

if you install with pacifist.. the next time you run software update iw will appear the option to update again?

are semjza security update files for intel needed? cause i cant find them anymore in hackint0sh, Quixos, could you explin these please.. thanktyooo!!

[ernando]

Don't forget, before the first reboot, to look for /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility, select the startup disk and repair the permissions, or type in terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal) diskutil repairPermissions /

 

...or your system go freeze after the reboot.

 

In this case, you have only one alternative, boot in safe mode and repair the permissions

 

Hi, i boot into safe mode by -s option (also tried -x -s), but when I put diskutil repairPermissions /, nothing's happen, please help me.

 

thanks

The update installed fine and I ran the 'fix disk permissions in the disk utility. All seemed to go well; however the sudo command in terminal showed this:

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:

 

#1) Respect the privacy of others.

#2) Think before you type.

#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, do you run disk utlity after restart the system or before doing restart, that is after you apply the pacifist ?

[boyscout]

thanks man it worked!!!

[quixos]

robo456, ignore that message

Hi all, after two attempts to update with SecUpd, my system failed to reboot again when I can reported that some strange things happen... like after I install SecUpd with Pacifist, I cannot start any program, like Disk Utility (for permission repair) or Terminal (for permission repair under console), so I am being forced to restart the system.

 

After reboot I cannot login my system again, either with -x or -x -s, so I have to do from -s option, wanted to repair the permission using applejack...end up with /usr/sbin/diskarbitrationd segmentation fault etc, and when I restart again with -v I noticed that besides the error msg couldn't find root user, there's also /usr/sbin/diskarbitrationd segmentation fault etc like above.

 

Again I restart with -s option and restore finder.app (this time I backup finder.app), then restart with -v, the same error msg that is segmentation fault came appear again.

 

So I suspect it's not that I accidentaly select coreservices in previous instalation using pacifist, it must be another issue here. Could someone help me please

 

Thanks

This Doesn't Work!!!

 

My 3rd attempt at reinstalling Jas 10.4.6 / Intel and applying this stupid patch!!! Followed your instructions to the dot yet the bloody thing freezes after logging in.

 

I think I'll pass on this- Be Warned :: If you are willing to loose your current working installation then try this patch regardless of whether a few got it to work or not.

 

[uPDATE]

 

Works! Finder.app was the culprit

[quixos]

this is not a patch.

 

these directions simply describe a method to skip the installation of one file, Finder.app. it's the only file in Security Update 2006-003 that is incompatible with Intel "hobby mac" systems.

 

if a person updates to the Security Update 2006-003, and does not overwrite their working Finder.app, there are no other files in the update that should preclude a successful reboot of the system.

 

if some other part of the Update is causing a problem for people, it's not my problem, but i'd be interested to learn the specifics.

[WiZMaC]

Sorry quixos- Forgot to post an update ...

 

It works- I had to search and search until I stumbled over Jas's Finder.app backup sol Yet another happy camper!

 

One question though- I ran update_prebinding and got this error twice:

 

temp file missing /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM/framework/Versions/1.5.0/Libraries/libclient_redoprebinding.dylib

 

 

Any ideas?

 

** I sincerely hope you believe that I was not trying to put your method down- As is, I'm grateful for the knowledge that both you and others are sharing with us .... God Speed!

[quixos]

i think everyone gets that error. it causes no problems. just added that assurance to the guide.

Hi all,

my system failed to reboot after doing secupd 2006-003

Some strange things happen... like after I install SecUpd with Pacifist, I cannot start any program, like Disk Utility (for permission repair) or Terminal (for permission repair under console or restore the finder.app), so I am being forced to restart the system.

 

After reboot I cannot login my system again, either with -x or -x -s, so I have to do from -s option, wanted to repair the permission using applejack...end up with /usr/sbin/diskarbitrationd segmentation fault etc, and when I restart again with -v I noticed that besides the error msg couldn't find root user, there's also /usr/sbin/diskarbitrationd segmentation fault etc like above.

 

Again I restart with -s option and restore finder.app (I backup finder.app before doing update), then restart with -v, the same error msg that is segmentation fault came appear again.

 

So I suspect it's not that I accidentaly select coreservices in previous instalation using pacifist, it must be another issue here. Anybody can help me ?

 

thanks

[quixos]

boot with -s

 

fsck -fy

 

if there is a problem fixed, reboot with -s, and fsck -fy until

no errors are found.

 

you could give that a try. good luck.

[bigjohnjr]

Ok I blew it!

 

I used pac to install the updates, I forgot to repaire premissions before rebooting and now it just hangs after rebooting. No finder, no icons, dock frozen.

 

I tried to fix it but not being a mac guru I can't.

 

When I reboot I type -s

 

Then I type sudo diskutil repairpressions /

 

It just hangs, at a black screen. The drive does whirl at first then nothing.

 

Please help before I reinstall all over again.

 

Thanks

John

[quixos]

here is how it is...

 

as much as i sympathise with you all, this is a very simple and direct method.

 

if the directions are followed, it does only one thing. it extracts all of the Update

files to their proper destinations, and avoids over-writing Finder.app with an incompatible

version. that's all, it does no more.

 

the only advice i can give related to this method of updating, comes down to restoring an overwritten Finder.app.

 

it's possible to have pre-existing problems, that produce a bad result even following the directions exactly and correctly. gremlins exist.

 

i suggest joining the #OSx86 (irc.macspeak.net) channel, there are real people who might be able to help you recover from errors, and also refer you to some sort of automated method that has been developed since this guide was written. good luck.
