my1stmacisaHACK Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 When I opened the 10.4.8 Intel Sec Update installer to look, I didn't see Finder.app. Course, I might be blind today. Or, I managed to download the wrong one. Maybe they only updated Finder in the other 3 updates they published. did u try installing it with AMD?

macdanger Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hi there, installed on the 10.4.8 SSE3 AMD image installation yesterday. Was no good idea as a can read right now :-) The finder crashes constantly but I still have console/Terminal, but I'm unable to decompress the .dmg of the security patch. I tried Pacifist to look into it but there are more Archives in it. I can't extract them because every file dialog will crash the application :-P I should mention that I have installed the beta7 semthex's beta7 kernel installed. I used this nice little kernel update script and it only downloads always kernel beta7 not beta8. If I would install beta8 kernel and do the SecUpdate again, would this repair my installation?

joe75 Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 run this in single user mode Is it the update or a fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdanger Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Sorry for the noob question, but do I do with the files in this zip file in single user mode? I tried the man page of "patch" but I'm stuck :-( Would be nice if you can tell me what to do with it :-) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotoh Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Is it the update or a fix oviously a fix. The secupdate is 24Mb, the patcher is 8Ko...Anyway, since Semthex already corrected the security breach in Beta8 kernel, it might not be so usefull to run this security update (?) or am I mistaken ?

macdanger Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 OK, I found out by myself :-) For those who are noobish as me: 1) boot with -s for single user mode 2) mount -u -o rw / (remount your boot partition into read/write mode) 3) unzip myzar's zip file (unzip secupd_patcher.zip) 4) chmod +x patcher 5) ./patcher secupd.txt And the best of all: it works and fixes my mess with the security update and finder is working again :-D Thanx alot myzar!

cbreaker Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 It seems so. I applied the update, I was like "Well, I don't SEE any kernel things in the list.. update!" Then I reboot and Finder doesn't run. DOH! So I applied this patch, and yes, it works. Finder once again runs and things seem very normal (I'm using it right now.) I definately recommend, if you have Windows on the box, to install a copy of MacDrive on it. As long as the system is shut down cleanly you can R/W to your mac partition/disks like they were Windows disks. I don't really trust it for big file operations but it makes it easy to drop something like a zip file down, so I can fix my goof =) THANK you for this patch.

gotoh Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Myzar's patch works fine. It just seems that the "boot splash" window before finder is loaded is not displayed anymore. Don't know if this is a missing patched file or anything else. Anyway, finder is back to normal with his patch so thanks again myzar !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
