fingerr Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I don't know about that error, however, you should never have replace your mount_smbfs file. I am not sure if the mount_smbfs is different for the 10.4.8 than for JaS 10.4.7 Update (which uses the 10.4.6 smbfx.kext), but since it stopped the error message, I would say it was different. The first thing you should do is smb fix included with the postflight from the JaS update. If you execute the postflight file or edit it with a text editor and just follow the steps at a command prompt, it should fix your samba problem. If that doesn't work, I would use the 10.4.6 Samba Fix (I can get it to you if you need it, just PM me) and then run the shell steps included with the postflight file to repair it for 10.4.8 I did as it was described, postflight was in right place. If thats not a problem, please send me SMB fix to fingerr(at)interia(dot).pl , i'll try it tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shaun Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Allright, fixed my Safari/Dashboard/Software Update issues. I downgraded to 10.4.6, then downloaded and upgraded to 10.4.7, then finally moved to 10.4.8. System runs flawlessly. Thanks JaS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteo Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Another success story over here. Everything is working just perfect, I can see my Windows network and access other machines (so I asume Samba is working), and Safari, DVD player, etc. are working nice. Thanks a lot JaS!!!! CI and QE are working too, since the updater doesn't replace any kext I think. I've opened the package in Pacifist and the only extension that is included is the special one. According to my specs (GMA950) do you guys think that I should mess with the 10.4.8 kexts? And again, thanks a lot JaS, Kiko and everybody who makes this community to rock!

aberracus Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Jas, this update keeps the old 10.4.7 frameworks and kexts? so this is a soft update? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harietje Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 So, what's the difference between the updates from JaS and Kiko? I read something about the framework which is not included with the JaS-update, and is present in the Kiko-update. Why are there Kiko-betas/RC's and there is just one release from JaS which is working correct directly?!? So with other words: which of the two is the best for updating my 10.4.7 installation? Besides that: isn't it better to work together on one patch instead of releasing different patches with the same goal? Or am I missing something over here? Either way: Thanks for your efford JaS and Kiko! *Edit: sorry, another question in the same direction was posted at the same time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Jas, this update keeps the old 10.4.7 frameworks and kexts? so this is a soft update? thanks Yeah, this doesn't replace any of your kexts, though I am not sure about the frameworks. I'd have to check when I have it in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteo Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Not sure but there are lots of folders inside the directory /System/Library/Frameworks (in the updater package). I guess that at least some must be being updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phee Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The JaS update worked perfectly for me, no problems what so ever... Great work on the patch Anyone else having problems with DVD Player though? On 10.4.7 it would give a crash message when I oppened it and then it would close, and now on 10.4.8 it just opens and closes instantly. iDVD working here. Only thing noted so far is that in About this Mac it changed my processor from Core Duo to Unknown. More info displays it correctly though (still says it's a 4 ghz cpu though, don't know what that's all about) Really, great work JaS. For my part I appreciate your work here and I wish I knew a bit more so that I could help you guys out some, but alas I am but a sheep Thanks again. phee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuXb Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Not sure but there are lots of folders inside the directory /System/Library/Frameworks (in the updater package). I guess that at least some must be being updated.JaS said the ONLY fw he left out is the opengl fw: "When I saw Quake 4 start up with a flash of a red screen and then drop out of range I figured something just wasn't right and left OpenGL out of my updater". From what I understood the only other thing which JaS (and Kiko also) had to leave out is Rosetta (translate/ translated) since these files are not decrypted (yet). aRt .. ? JaS please correct me if I am wrong or imprecise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelcerca Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 @ JaS - so i can find a list of what the real 10.4.8 update will effect here: 10.4.8 could you please let us know what your 10.4.8 update will effect? are we going to get better performance with rosetta with your update? also, i am still using the 10.4.4 kernel, has there been any update with that? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bikedude880 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I am also having a problem with Logic. It crashes after it's started. That's odd. I'm using Logic Pro (updated) and it works just fine. I wonder what could be causing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Securify Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hello, is there still mouse tearing with JAS 10.4.8? If so, how are people dealing with mouse tearing? Also, does anyone know exactly what is causing mouse tearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hello, is there still mouse tearing with JAS 10.4.8?

Securify Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Rammjet, didn't know felis tigris can cause an OS cursor to tear, good to know we're thinking about what we say. Using the search in better ways show's mouse tearing seem to happen only with QE enabled, I'll continue using the search feature, overly self-confident answers are never appropriate.

Rammjet Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Rammjet, didn't know felis tigris can cause an OS cursor to tear, good to know we're thinking about what we say. "We" didn't say big cats cause an OS cursor to tear. "We" said big cats cause mouse tearing. Then "we" gave you 2 links to a discussion of OS cursor tearing by the guru of AGPGart. But "we're" sure you'll do well with the search function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matulike Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Hi, Well, I just updated with JaS's 10.4.8 SSE2 Intel update, and it seems to be fine. The only problem so far is that Logic Express quits as soon as it's started...i've noticed a few people have encountered this - so hopefully there'll be a fix ) iTunes is OK. So is Firefox. I will try to fix Logic and report back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FancyNatra Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 COnfirmed Logic Express closes unexpectedly after opening, no time to do anything, it saves the project and closes with error. same here. everything works, only LogicExp closes unexpectedly.
