cavemonkey50 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I just noticed Apple has released a new security update for Intel Macs. Does anyone know if it's safe to install on a Maxxuss patched 10.4.5 install? I'm assuming it isn't, but you never know.

bsod Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 yea i saw it too. it says that it updates loginwindow and a few other files that were in the decrypted files for maxxuss' patch so i am going to stay away from it...

Technobob Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I just tried the security update and it killed my 10.4.5 install, good thing I did a backup first.

MK500 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I applied the patch and killed my system. Luckily I found a way to restore it to functionality without a re-install. If you just boot in single user mode, and follow Maxxuss directions again under "Instructions (Alternative: Updating directly in 10.4.4)", the system will work fine. This is nice because I have the new Safari and other enhancements that came with the patch.

benedict007 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I installed the update and stuck at the "starting mac os x" screen, I gotta try maxxuss directions to fix it.

daemon Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have applied the security patch. 10.4.5 broke like benedict007 said. Went into OS with -v -s and look around in /CoreServices/loginwindow.app. I found loginwindow: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures loginwindow (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386 loginwindow (for architecture ppc): Mach-O executable ppc loginwindow.original: Mach-O executable i386 Copied over original to loginwindow and it was fixed.

Bug Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Im fixing it now... Are you telling me that just replacing the login window fixes those extensions that failed it load? I'll try that first, what the hell was I thinking installing a 'security update' on something with a kext called 'dont steal mac os'...

I'll try that first, what the hell was I thinking installing a 'security update' on something with a kext called 'dont steal mac os'... replaceing the 4.5 decrypts again does fix it, how ever, when you try and repair permissions on the 4.5 drive with disk utliity when updated it will say disk utility has lost connection to disk something or other, and if you try and create a zip arcive it will close the box and dosnt work......so i had to reinstall completely to fix it hope this helps how ever thats what happens if you update and re run ./replace.sh lol is what will happen..... you have been warned dont do it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10634-new-security-update-for-intel-macs/#findComment-67257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Zips work fine after the re-install, in fact some of my preference panes that crashes system preferences now work. So far, nothing harmed after the install of the patch / reinstall o f 10.4.5.

Careless Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 can someone please write a small tut on what COMMANDS to write into the single user mode terminal, rather than say "replace this with that" we don't all know the proper command lines and what not. the current method of just describing rather than explaining is not very effective, and it will end up creating more threads and more confusion. so can someone tell me step by step after doing this update what we should do?

Systemversion: Mac OS X 10.4.5 (8G1454) but i also got a G4 Dual 1Ghz Mac with 10.4.5 and my Powermac says .... Systemversion: Mac OS X 10.4.5 (8H14) so either u must have tweaked Systemprofiler it thinks u Run PPC Machine or we are not talking about a Intel based 10.4.5 update here.

Tek_No Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Same over here: I don't know where the original poster read "8H14" as system version but after copying over the .original loginwindow System Profiler still reads "8G1454" after reboot??? For the guys and dolls over here not knowing how to do this (careless???) a small step-by-step guide: - run the Sofware Update - install the Security Patches - reboot and use -s as boot option - to be sure: fsck -fy and after this mount -uw / - cd /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS - cp loginwindow loginwindow.backup - rm loginwindow - cp loginwindow.original loginwindow - reboot This should do it but as already said: NO 8H14 over here either Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/10634-new-security-update-for-intel-macs/#findComment-67400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucklesjh Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Guess I have to reinstall since I didn't make a backup...
