yup new version of Skype works fine

 

Updated to 10.9.1, installed your v4 kernel (hadn't done so yet) and am surprised to find out that all graphic corruption is now gone!  No more desktop icon text corruption, dock corruption, or launchpad label corruption.  No more pink .pngs anywhere, Safari previews aren't pink anymore, everything is great!  Used to have some small corruption issues around some text boxes and buttons as well, those are gone too!  

 

EXCELLENT WORK!!!   :hysterical:

 

***Note:  The Launchpad icons are now some off color for me as per reports here, but the Launchpad refresh app works fine.  Also, the newest version of Final Cut Pro is unusable still (10.0.9)***

my computer just died after so many years of loyal service, so until i can identify and replace what failed, and I have no funds at the moment, there won't be more development on my part

 

thanks for understanding :cry:

I understand that :)

What part dead from the computer? How much you need to replace this part? I will get salary on December 30, and maybe I can help you with that :)

P.S. I don't how much I will get (a bigger part will take by the Christmas time... :/)

There is nothing worse. I hope you get it sorted. On another note I noticed on your git that the latest commit has ACPI Shutdown support :-). Is that in the latest V4 kernel? If not I can download it and build it if needed.

 

Edit: I've built it, Will test the shutdown and post it ;)

Well, the Motherboard is dead. :cold:

@shanee:  please, could i have your DSDT (either binary or disassembled) so i can fix the code? It worked on both my macbook air and Phenom II X4 954 BE with the now-dead mobo you see above.
The code needed to shut down a computer isn't trivial a all, so there's that. For reference if anyone wants to have a look, in the file  iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp around line 250 ^^

You could be lucky and it may just be a blown capacitor and it hasn't damaged anything. Could always solder on a new one.

 

Sure here is my DSDT. I don't use one so this probably full of errors, Extracted with DarwinDumper

@tragediana150 Can you test this please.

No, it appears the power circuitry has just blown. It looks like the "Auxiliary power" connector is shorted. As soon as i plug this in, the power supply refuses to start, presumably due to a short.

 

It really wouldn't surprise me, this mobo was amazing at a lot of things, but its power section really sucked, from what i read online.

 

@shane nothing unusual in the DSDT, if you could send me your FACT table i'll have a look at that

@Sinetek, I can't find price of your mobo on the internet, it is expensive? :)

@Shaneee, I tested this kernel, but restart and shutdown still doesnt' work. Sorry for the long time testing, but I needed to restart my PC, log to Snow Leo, and then to Maverick so this take some time :D

Try this kernel. Just shutdown normally using it. Also noticed that my Launchpad is sorted but that is nothing to do with me lol.

Also this is the Mobo Sinetek has http://www.msi.com/product/mb/890FXA-GD70.html#?div=Detail

For now shutdown still doesn't work :( Should I delete Evoreboot.kext or another kexts if I'm using this kernel?

 

Strange as it works for me on my Athlon. I also have EvOReboot to sort reboot issues on my board. Only thing I did was repaired the permissions on the kernel with Disk Utility and recreated the kernel cache.

Strange as it works for me on my Athlon. I also have EvOReboot to sort reboot issues on my board. Only thing I did was repaired the permissions on the kernel with Disk Utility and recreated the kernel cache.

Still doesn't work :( I installed EvoReboot.kext with KextHelper, then Repair permissions in DiskUtility and restart.

I will try to recreate kernel cache manually by the terminal:

sudo kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions"

And I will report back.

Am I doing something wrong?

 

EDIT: Unfortunately it's not work for me :( I tried every possible way :)

Thanks Shane :)

No I don't think you are. I will try some more changes see if I can get it to work for you.

 

Edit: Sorry I don't know enough about it all to work it out. Will read up some more on it but think Sinetek, Bronya or Andy will need to fix it.
