This happened because i install clover to Catalina from Mojave and i check "Clover Theme Manager". Clover should install Clover Theme Manager in "CatalinaDiskName-Data/Applications not in "CatalinaDiskName/Applications"

This should performed as intended as the OS should take cares on what happens in the filesystem.

Honestly, it' s not big deal as Vector has said already he'll take a look and could be fixed later LOL

The problem is that I have a job and a family.. By the way can I ask why there's a need to use hfs instead of apfs? It is not clear to me if this is allowed.. Catalina installer creates two volumes on the same container, but what happen if we modify them?

I guess that this is true until any other patch are performed on the same offset in memory before yours.

Your "Machintosh SSD" should have a read-only twin called  "Machintosh SSD - Dati", but this I guess is true for vanilla installations, I'm referring to Catalina on proper apfs partition, e.g. not hfs.

Yes,, but if you boot in to Catalina then somehow as default path for applications is "/Applications/XCode-beta.app" or in "/System/Volumes/Data/Applications/XCode-Beta.app". But if i boot to Mojave and check the Application path of Catalina app eg XCode-Beta, then yes the path is "Catalina Disk - Data/Applications/XCode-Beta.app"

The config of clover is same for Mojave and Catalina (SSDT, kext, drivers, and other exactly same). In mojave, i can see about succesful patch, but i don't see it in Catalina. I just don't know what cause of this

Sorry for the stupid question, but is the kext inside the prelinkedkernel?

Here if I move an app to /Applications, it will be automatically be moved to the ' - Data/Applications'. Anyway I'll do more tests..

How can i know??? How about this,

I have used RX 580 without inject FB name. So, i will use radeon framebuffer instead Salado, and we can sure AMD9500Controller.kext is loaded (Display color and multidsplay is working). Then before change FB name to "Salado", i run kext utility.app once. Reboot, and still Clover didn't patch the binary.

Just for your information,, if i boot with Shell.efi. Then load Apfsdriverloader.efi and go to Catalina Disk, we can't acces System/Library/PrelinkedKernel. APFSDriverLoader.efi only will mount "CatalinaDisk - Data" not "Catalina Disk". I don't know if this information will be useful

Yes, but if you open terminal, then open finder, go to Catalina disk system/Applications. drag n drop XCode.ap or other app to terminal. Then the path is "/Applications/sampel.app".

Anyway after check Clover Theme manager to Catalina Disk from Mojave, if i boot to Catalina and go to Catalina Disk System/Applications, then it will empty

right, see below (anyway I still not tried that right now).

yeah, but in truth it is in the Application folder of the other partition. normal as supposed to be by Apple as the two partitions are separated but treated as one: system files and directories are in the read-only one, users stuff is in the read-write one.

Thanks for the questions,,  i have checked the PrelinkedKernel date in System/Library/PrelinkedKernel and the date is 3 July 2019. Weird

I run kext utility.app and PrelinkedKernel's date is not change,, then i open terminal and run "sudo mount -uw /" and "sudo killall Finder' then i re-Run Kext utility.app. The date of Prelinked kernel is change :D

 

Now reboot and i can see patch is succesfull,, i am boot with Salado Framebuffer now. :D

So the remaining problem is about EMPTY /Applications in Catalina if you install Clover from Mojave to Catalna Disk and tick Clover Theme Manager,, still searching for the issue.

Ever tried to select, from mojave, the '- data' partition??:afro:

Did you have Mojave system?? Please try this.

Install Clover from Mojave,, and point it to Catalina Disk system,, and tick/check "Clover Theme Manager' then reboot to your Catalina. Can you still see many app in your Catalina disk/Applications???

just tried and worked. Applications are all in place, CTM included. Do not tell my why but I expected nothing less.

When you in Mojave and install clover, which partition did you select?? Catalina Disk or Catalina Disk - Data???

Anyway, can you try again the same and post the installer log? ... not the one by Clover, but the one from Installer.app

the one with the - Data suffix

Accidentally i select withoud - Data suffix :D

Can you try select without data suffx?? :D

What I will never try is to target the one without the - Data suffix, as I guess this was the problem for you:ph34r:

No, see above:pope:, never thought of doing an installation in the users partition :)

Yes,, clover will install CTM to Catalina Disk/Applications (Should be not right path), but if we select Catalina Disk - Data then path will be "Catalina Disk - Data/Applications" (Right path).

Now when i go to Applications, all is empty. I need to manual go to /System/Volumes/Data/Applications to see my Applications list :(

I don't know how to re-index this

fresh Installation?


it's the last options,, i think i need to reRun "Install macOS Catalina Beta" DP 3 and point it again to my Catalina Disk. I hope the old app and configuration won't broken :D

right. Firstly you can try to repair permissions. of the entire volume using disk utility, i.e s.o.s

I point it Catalina Disk instead Catalina Disk - Data because if i select Catalina Disk - Data i can't tick "CLover Preference pane", if  select Catalina Disk then i can select Preference pane. Anyway, it's worst scenario

Ok that make sense. The option is enabled/selectable only if the target volume contains /bin/launchctl. That was a way to say "this is an OS", but now is on the wrong side. Need a revise, please guys help to find a way compatible with old OSes and we can make appear CTM, the prefpanel .. (rc scrips?) only if some conditions are met, i.e. only on the right partition!

Hi guys,

 

So...looks like my problem with boot6/boot7 was actually not a problem with either one of them. I've made a build with both, so I can test them one by one. I can boot quite fine with either one of them. With one condition: correct drivers!

 

And one (recommended) driver in particular is actually causing me both the "not found" error, and the following red text screen: XhciDxe.efi. No wonder I didn't have this issue with 3911. I don't remember seeing it there.

 

Can we make this optional not recommended?

 

Also, the issue I've mentioned before with the embedded theme? Yeah, it's still there, but only when booting with BiosBlockIO. When booting with SATA, no issues whatsoever.

This is what I have in the System partition ( - Data) by looking it from mojave:

.				Library
..				System
.DS_Store			Users
.DocumentRevisions-V100		Volumes
.PKInstallSandboxManager	cores
.Spotlight-V100			home
.TempReceipt.bom		mnt
.TemporaryItems			opt
.Trashes			private
.fseventsd			sw
Applications			usr

It's why I made it selected only if the package was never installed. Anyway if you deselect it and re run the installer the choice will no longer be activated. Is also true that most of the people may need it..... maybe guys with very old motherboards.

I use no one of them

Well, yeah, I made a "clean install", so that one was checked by default. And...now I'm curious if anyone else booting in Legacy mode had/has this issue with this particular driver.
