mick101 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi all, Has anyone been experiencing a total computer crash when trying to remote into their 10.4.5 OSX86 box? I still have my 10.4.3 partition and ARD works great on it. Can we copy the ARD files over to 10.4.5 and have work? If so, which files should I copy?

mick101 Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi all again, Some update on the situation. I've just installed Timbuktu 8.6 and it too crashes when you try to remote control the OSX86 box. Does anyone have a clue as to what is causing this? What is the difference between 10.4.3 Jass patched and the 10.4.5 Maxxuss patch?

Bug Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Chicken of The VNC client. You can use the build in VNC server (it's part of Apple Remote Desktop and already installed, just turn it on in system preferences/Sharing/Apple Remote Desktop Acess Privileges/turn on and give VNC users a password ) or another VNC Server.

mick101 Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi, Thanks for the reply. I've tried many VNC clients to use the ARD. As soon as I attempt to remote into the OSX86, I get the crash screen and have to turn off the computer and restart. I think that their may be a problem with some extensions or other. I've built the OSX86 box using the Asrock mobo setup recommended on this site and a celeron D chip. So SSE2 and 3 are OK, however no NX. Could it be a kernel prob?

Kevlar Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I remote control my osx86 box (10.4.5) with ARD 2.2 from a Dual 2.3 G5 at work all day long, I have not had any crashes or weirdness at all. Works flawlessly. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11300-apple-remote-desktop-on-osx86-1045/#findComment-71542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick101 Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 I'd need more info to diagnose the situation. Does anyone know the general processes involved when remoting into a into a mac? I mean the computer processes that might be common between ARD and Timbuktu. Does the video card come into play mine is the INTEL built-in? Does the keyboards and mouse extensions affect anything? Keep in mind that the OSX86 box is a clean install (ie 10.4.4 installed from 10.4.3 and immediately patched to 10.4.5) Also, the network card is a USB DLINK wireless. Kevlar, what is your machine configuration (video, disk drive type, keyboard/mouse, etc..)? Also, what kernel patch do you have applied?

Cheers, I use the onboard video (GMA950), I have both the sigma 9220 audio working, and audio via a usb iMic. 250gb SATA, and a 120gb PATA drive (OS X on the 250), Kensington 2 button usb mouse, Apple Keyboard, 1GB PC4200 DDR2 Ram, Pentium D 920. Only have the base patch applied to the kernel. Are you trying to log in with the latest version of ARD? I am logging in using ARD 2.2.

mick101 Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thanx for info Kevlar, I am using ARD 2.2 as well. I think I may be on a possible clue. Is your GMA950 working properly? I mean can u change resolution aside from 1024x768? I think that when u remote into a Mac, the video comes into play and from past experience, if the video craps out, the whole machine crashes. I've been reading several postings about the GMA900 and 950 resolution in 10.4.5. I've tried to copy the Intel GMA extensions: AppleIntel915.kext AppleIntel915GA.plug-in AppleIntelGL.bundle AppleIntelIntegratedFramework.kext that I've backed-up from 10.4.4 but that didn't work for me and the ones from 10.4.3 don't even give me any video. The strange thing is that my 10.4.4 extensions for GMA, are the same as the ones from 10.4.5 in size and version except for date. Kevlar, can you tell me what version of those extensions do you have running?

Kevlar Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 mick101, The only extension you should need to get your video resolution selection back in 10.4.5 is the AppleIntelIntegratedFramework.kext from 10.4.4, that's the only one that I am using. I don't know about it resizing your display since I am running a Higher Resolution at work (the machine I use ARD2.2 on), I am using 1600x1200 and it brings my home computer up at it's native resolution 1280x1024.

mick101 Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hi all, Video was the problem! Yes after trials and trials and some help from Kevlar, I've figured it out. For ARD, Timbuktu or any other remoting software to work, you need to make sure your video or graphics card works properly (ie you must be able to select various screen resolutions from the preferences menu and NOT specified in the boot.list) I guess the remote process depends on some graphics stuff. In my case, my GMA900 was on the fritz, I extracted the AppleIntelIntegrateFramebuffer.kext from my 10.4.4 DVD (in the Essentials.pkg) to make sure I had a proper 10.4.4 extension. and replaced the one from 10.4.5 (I've done this from a working 10.4.3) and fix the permissions. Here are the version of the files: AppleIntelIntegrateFramebuffer.kext from 10.4.5 is 1.4.24.6 AppleIntelIntegrateFramebuffer.kext from 10.4.4 is 1.4.20.8 <---- use this one Cheers, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11300-apple-remote-desktop-on-osx86-1045/#findComment-73541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
