department27 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hi Had a problem with the SSE2 update. I had the blue screen, so checked that r2d2 wa in the correct place, it was. Took it to single user mode, fsck'd it, and moutned it and then ran an update_prebinding. It failed to complete on hte following: /usr/lib/libwrap.7.dylib Have not idea why, very strange. Any idea's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melody of Dismay Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Before I install the SSE2 version, does this release address the mouse tracking speed issue that cropped up from the JaS release that showed up a couple weeks ago? Hi SleeplessMedia and Tyre777, yes, that mouse issue (if we are referring to the same one) that was present in the regular 10.4.8 SSE2 update has been RESOLVED in the 10.4.8 SSE2 combo update, at least from what I observe from my system. That was definitely a relief--thanks JaS for ironing out that bug! The tracking issue I am referring to is present mainly in apps like Safari, Textedit, Camino, and possibly others--if you tried double-clicking or even Command-L to get the location bar to show up, it would NOT highlight. Also, if you typed on the third line of TextEdit, the cursor would disappear, and if you tried to highlight your text, I think the blue highlight would disappear too. I hope this makes sense, but no matter--the issue is completely RESOLVED in the 10.4.8 SSE2 combo update. No more having to open apps in Rosetta just for the location bar or highlighting to act normally! Thank you so much, JaS, for another fine release--we really appreciate it more than we can say!

aznracer Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Ok I need help...I installed 10.4.8 Combo SSE2 over my existing 10.4.7 Jas. I boot up and got a blue screen. I went verbose mode and got this message repeating over and over again: AppleFWOHCIAsyncReceive::waitForDMA - context not going inactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7210211 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 so... will the SS3 release work on a AMD X2 when the JaS 10.4.6 SSE3 didn't work??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gio Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Yes the SSE3 works on X2's well at least it did on mine but i reinstalled to 10.4.6 because my sata driver got corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revert Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 How does updating normally work? Do all the updates need to be applied or can you for instance update from 10.4.6 to 10.4.8 and bypass 10.4.7? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrjrr Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 revert -- There are two versions of updates usually. A "delta" update is to get you up just one version to the update version, say 10.4.7 to 10.4.8. A "combo" update is good for any previous version to the update version, say 10.4.5 to 10.4.8. These most recent JaS update packages are the combo variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revert Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Ok, thanks jrrjrr. I can just skip 10.4.7 then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegadeandy Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Well, i am currently downloading 10.4.8 sse2 combo update - which hopefully will tidy up a rather confused installation of 10.4.4 which works but bits have stopped since a mistake with an intel update...I shall report back in the morning.

Bachonga Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 OK, noob question =P So, i got the 10.4.8 update. I boot up, whatever, bluescreen instead of the normal dekstop (im sure this is what people mean by hang on blue screen? sorta glitchy, you can see stuff movin in the back but blue strands and stuff overlap it...) And now im reading that i have to boot into -v -s -f , here's the problem. Don't know how to do that =P. I am not sure what you mean, or where i type the lines given. Could someone just do a sorta step by step, even if its brief, i can fill in the blanks. Main thing is just booting into those letters (whatever they are...) thanks a lot -Bachonga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiroo Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I'm running the 10.4.7 JAS version and it works fine. When I run the 10.4.8 combo updater from JAS (same result from either 10.4.6 or 10.4.7) it boots through the grey apple screen and then gets to black screen with normal cursor and then hangs there. Not sure if this is the same issue as the blue screen hang or the GMA issue. My MB has GMA onboard but I'm not using it; using the PCI-E X1600XT instead. Should I try the GMA fix? or any other advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bachonga Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 as of know, im booted in safe mode, and everything is working ok. But for the gfx driver reinstall, where can i get that? Thanks for your help JaS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skredii Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Bachonga, The package you need to install is on JaS 10.4.6/10.4.7 DVD. You'll find full instructions on the MacGeek blog. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegadeandy Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 So - I have updated from 10.4.4 to 10.4.8 with no problems this time using the CORRECT update! Amd sse2 combo. Same problem as most - cpu detected at 0mhz etc, doesnt appear to affect anything. What should this allow me to do that i couldnt before? Itunes 7.0.1? New quicktime etc? Please let me no!

bgrau Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I have not used the GMA package but the JaS ATI x1600 package from OSX10.4.8 DVD (because I have an ATI x1600 AGP installed) and it fixed my graphics issue. I do not think one needs to re-install the GMA package if one has an ATI x1000 card... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GioPaL Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I just tryed to update mac osx from 10.4.7.to 10.4.8 but I had many problems with my video card (an nvidia geforce go 6200). The screen resolutio and the refresh rate is wrong and I can't see nothing. Is the latest Macvidia driver compatible with the last Jas Combo update?

joe75 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Jas, I used your latest 10.4.7 Intel/AMD and first 4.8 update on my Inspiron E1405 and everything is great. I used the latest 10.4.8 AMD/SSE3 update on my PC, going from your 10.4.6 AMD, and no R2D2 is loading on that. Is that normal or would it not be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphic Design Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Sorry Jas, I have one question: If I update to 10.4.8 by use "JaS.10.4.8.SSE3.Intel.Only.Combo.Update" after Install Jas DVD 10.4.6, do I need use "semjaza10_4_7" patch?

Rammjet Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 If I update to 10.4.8 by use "JaS.10.4.8.SSE3.Intel.Only.Combo.Update" after Install Jas DVD 10.4.6, do I need use "semjaza10_4_7" patch? No, the SemjaZa patch is not needed after running the 10.4.8 Combo update.
