Karakino Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hi guys I would like to know if any of you play Second Life with your hackintosh... I got this problem... If i try to use the latest 1.14 version of the client i cannot connect as the program gives me this error: *********************************************************** Unable to connect to Second Life. DNS could not resolve the host name. Please verify that you can connect to the www.secondlife.com web site. If you can, but continue to receive this errror, please go to the support section and report this problem. *********************************************************** But if i use the previous version of the client i can connect without problems... I'm wondering what could it be the main problem... I got Maya 8.5 installed with the patch for IONetworkingFamily.kext to recognize from the utility of Maya the correct mac addres from the proper menu... I already tried to reverse that kext with the original one but it doesn't have any effect... I would be grateful if some1 could find a fix for this... If exists...

errandwolfe Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I am also having this same problem. I think it is most likely a problem on the server end and not the client. I installed the latest beta release and was able to connect to the beta realms with no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kragil Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Well, if the new client works and the old one doesnt it could be a problem on the client side. I just hope the next client for the main grid ( realm is yucky Wow speak ) will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirage3d Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 was there any solution for this problem? i think it has to do with the 10.4.8 update with the IONetworking.kext incompatibility. all versions of secondlife don't work on my machine. it could also be an SSE2 problem maybe? mirage3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lactobacillus P Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I had a working version of 2nd Life before its last update came out. Haven't tried it since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max.mx Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 The same problem on my 10.4.9 hacki. It works however on my iBook G4, but you can imagine how slow... IONetworking.kext may be a good hint - but any solutions? by the way: My About Windos says: "3,4 GHz Intel Core Solo" - it's a Duo though. Any way to fix this? Does it make any difference in performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max.mx Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 UPDATE: Versions 13 and 14 seem to work fine (they connect and ask for a version update), however 15 and 16beta cannot connect. Any workaround for the update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geranium Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Please check if your /etc/resolv.conf. If its empty (or link broken) do the following. sudo -s rm /etc/resolv.conf ln -s /var/run/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf SecondLife should be working fine.

DA360 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Well, this problem was talked about in another thread (which I posted my crash report in there), and it seems no one has found what causes it: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=78505 I still can't launch Second Life, no matter what viewer I use, what version (including the newest), or anything. It wasn't fixed with updating to 10.5.2 either. I originally thought it had something to do with the nVidia driver I was using before then (and obviously the final one in 10.5.2), but this cancels that out since it says your using a ATI X1600. More than likely its a file that SL uses which might of been modified in these distros (such as Kalyway). But Second Life is the ONLY thing that doesn't want to work properly for me under OS X. But I DO think I found a culprit, where its saying "LLAppViewerMacOSX::generateSerialNumber() " in the crash report. I think it does some background check with the EFI on Macs and it might not like the emulated EFI used in these distros. Maybe if someone could compile Second Life from the source code and take out this part of the code, it might work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
