10.4.8 Update failed, but I haven't restarted yet

[LaminarFlow]

I ran the Kiko installer entitled "10.4.8 RC2 Kiko Combo.zip"

I got an error during the installation telling me to try it again.

Here's my install.log:

What can I do to make sure when I reboot I'll have a functional system? I'm getting the JaS updater right now, will that fix it?

[jbardi]

My only advice at this point... DON'T REBOOT YET... I would definately install JaS upgrade over the top of Kiko before rebooting, as any problems you have with the Kiko update 9 times out of 10 will keep your system from restarting.

 

Again, this will not ensure your system will boot back up, but I can almost guarantee you that you will have a higher precentage chance of a clean reboot after installing JaS update.

[Rammjet]

The JaS DVD won't install over it. It will look in the /Library/Receipts directory and see that the receipts indicate that it has already been installed so it won't offer to allow you to reinstall the old packages - they will be greyed out.

 

If you remove the appropriate receipts, you might fool it to reinstall.

[jbardi]

I wasn't referring to the JaS DVD install... I was talking about the JaS 10.4.8 update patch which came out just tonight after the Kiko Combo RC2 update patch was already screwing up peoples systems.

[LaminarFlow]

Alright, the JaS install is 2/3 downloaded, and I deleted the 10.4.8 combo update receipt. Is there anything I can do to fully ensure I can reboot?

[JaS]

well if you get the update download and installed you will be fine.

also did you read this in the torrent description?

 

Ok I just noticed that the postflight for this package is not in the resources folder of the installer.It is in the contents folder.

 

So when your done downloading this right click on the package and pick show contents.then it will open the package as a folder.

 

Next open contents and you will see the postflight script.Just drop it in the resoures folder then run the package and everything will install without a hitch.

 

Sorry about that guys,if you forget to do it the install will be fine, still boot up and run, you will just have to manually repair permissions and fix smb.

[LaminarFlow]

Okay, I dropped the postflight into the resources folder and tried the installer and got the 'please try installing again,' with this in the install log:

Any ideas?

[Rammjet]

Both of your installs failed in the same place:

 

Oct 2 23:51:02 Prescott : BomFileError 13: Permission denied - ///Applications/Internet Connect.app/Contents/Resources/8021X.bundle/Contents/Resources/da.lproj/InfoPlist.strings

 

Try going to your Applications folder and moving the app Internet Connect to the Desktop and delete the one in Applications.

 

Then try running the installer again.

[LaminarFlow]

Okay, I did that, but I got the same deal with System Preferences. I'm chown-ing my applications folder to see if that will help

 

Alright, newest error:

"Extracting files

Oct 3 00:23:06 Prescott : BomFileError 13: Permission denied - ///bin/domainname"

 

And here's what I get when trying the Kiko RC2 install:

"Extracting files

Oct 3 00:26:54 Prescott : BomFileError 13: Permission denied - ///bin/bash"

[mifki]

It still boots just gives on elittle error but all still runs fine and jbardi sorry to say what the f*** do you know, it only screws peoples sytems when they choose "Experimental" pkgs as i have noted.

 

 

Reboot and you'll be fine. If you really want fixed permsiions, boot of your dvd then run repair from their

 

It gave the sae error on mine and im still running fine, if any1 wants i'll relase a ppf to fix my permissions bungle

[LaminarFlow]

Are you sure? Because it only copies about 5-6% of the files before quitting. How can I really upgrade to 10.4.8 then?

[mifki]

wat do you mean 5-6% of the files?

it gives me same error bu tit all works on mine anywasy, so id backup ur v importnat files, cross ur fingers then reboot

[phi]

I've installed this first one from demonoid and it screw totaly up my system, in fact the netinfo database. OK, no problem i recovered it and could boot into safe mode after some time.

 

Then i gave the KiKo RC2 a try and it gave me this error with "...you should restart the installation". But icouldn't start any App after this update canceled, no pacifist, diskutil, terminal... So i restarted.

 

No my system do not boot up into safe boot or normal mode. It hangs after the first blue screen when Starting Mac OS X at the end of the progress bar.

 

But i can't really say that it hangs there, because the CPU usage is going up and down (cooling sound) and the harddisk randomly shows a lot of activity...

 

The installer and the diskutil under singleuser stopped their function after first update.

 

Has anybody an idea how to install JaS package without Desktop or what to do? I have quite a lot of software on this machine and don't want to reinstall.

 

 

 

p.s.: i have samba and afp working and can connect to shares

 

edit:

 

i noticed not that this what the machine is doing is something like

 

decoding (32bit adresses)

decoding ....

r2d2 kext

 

and then again and again

 

it seems that something is corrupted in this r2d2, i'll replace it with r2d2.kext from JaS now

[Rammjet]

wat do you mean 5-6% of the files?

Just look at his install log:

 

Oct 2 22:20:33 Prescott : Extracting files

Oct 2 22:20:34 Prescott : Install failed: Some files for 10.4.8 Combo may not have been written correctly.

 

About 1 second after it starts extracting the files from the .pax, it fails on updating Internet Connect.app. It states it has installed 9216 kilobytes (out of over 200 megabytes)

 

When he did the JaS update, it failed on the same Internet Connect.app and installed only 6346 kilobytes.

[xtraa]

The JaS DVD won't install over it. It will look in the /Library/Receipts directory and see that the receipts indicate that it has already been installed so it won't offer to allow you to reinstall the old packages - they will be greyed out.

 

If you remove the appropriate receipts, you might fool it to reinstall.

 

 

 

Use Pacifist for installing the JaS release over the existing files, and select replace. That should work imo.

[Rammjet]

Use Pacifist for installing the JaS release over the existing files, and select replace. That should work imo.

Yah. I didn't say that because the next questions would be "What is Pacifist?", "Where do I get it?", "How do I use it to install the files?" and I didn't feel like dealing right then.

[LaminarFlow]

Yah. I didn't say that because the next questions would be "What is Pacifist?", "Where do I get it?", "How do I use it to install the files?" and I didn't feel like dealing right then.

Yeah, I understand why you'd think that after dealing with all of the 13 year olds here trying to run OS X. Don't worry though, I specifically built this computer for OS X and my current job is troubleshooting Macs, so I know my way around one. I searched but I couldn't find a problem just like mine.

Thanks for the help, I'll give this a shot.

[LaminarFlow]

Okay, I did all of this over remote desktop, then started a Disk Utility permissions repair, but now RD says it's offline, so I'll have to wait until I get home to check on it.

[phi]

I rescued my system for another time. I only wanted to tell what helped if someone has

a comparable issue. I know that this is a bit offtopic but regarding my post. Sorry.

 

I have installed the JaS package over the KiKO RC2 while booting from the JaS 10.4.6 DVD. You have to copy over the JaS patch to your HD

open terminal.app

than enter:

/Volumes/"Your Macintosh HD"/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /path/toyour/JaS/package.pkg -target /Volumes/"Your Macintosh HD"

 

Repair permissions in the diskutil from installer.

 

Reboot.

(This also works for any other package in case the system doesn't boot or only to single-user)

[LaminarFlow]

Okay, back on topic.

 

Somewhere within repairing the permissions with Disk Utility, it went to a black screen. I could see the cursor, but nothing else. So I forced a reboot, and after the 'loading mac os x' bar went all the way, it went to a blue screen with the spinny thing and hung. So I booted from the install DVD and repaired permissions again. Now it just boots to a blue screen with a cursor. Anything I can do from within the Terminal on the install DVD, or anything I can do from Ubuntu (already installed)?

[LaminarFlow]

The display sleeps like it was started up and everything, but it's just a blue screen with the cursor. What should I do??

[mifki]

hahah, thats ur gma, ok get a JaS dvd ( iassume you have JaS) then istall the gma900 pkg's

[LaminarFlow]

I might be in trouble...I booted from the JaS DVD and used the terminal to delete the GMA900 receipt, then clicked the GMA900 package and told it to install. I couldn't uncheck the 'base system' or 'essentials' or whatever, but it said '0 byes' so I figured it would be okay...except it's installing the base system, essentials, BSD subsystem, and everything now. That means I'm back to 10.4.6, right? If it works, is it okay to go straight to .8, or should I do .7 first (which went flawlessly for me the first time)?

[Rammjet]

JaS' 10.4.8 update uses Apple's delta update (intended for update from 10.4.7). But some people have had success using it with 10.4.5.

 

Kiko's update uses Apple's Combo update (intended for 10.4.x).

[LaminarFlow]

Alright, I'm in big trouble, I borked it big time.

After running the installer, it rebooted to a spinny thing and the apple logo, but it wasn't lined up...here's what it looked like:

http://kefka.ag.iastate.edu/borkedscreen.jpg[/img]

I do regular backups of my data so that's not too big of an issue, but still it would be quite inconvenient to reinstall everything...is there anything else I can try? I'm booting to the install DVD to try repairing permissions again. Anything I can do from the terminal?
