Clover Problems and Solutions

[tluck]

Problem for me on my skylake laptop with Emuvariable - 

 

3692 - GUI works great 

3693 - couldn't build

3694 - 3696 - GUI just wedges for any theme other than embedded theme (which does work)

[cecekpawon]

hello

 

what i'm talking about is this

 

never see this before

 

thanks

Just built 3696 and I'm getting the same here.

>=r3694 embedded theme draw entry os text as replacement/fallback for os icon badge (since this theme doesn't have it).

[Riley Freeman]

Maybe you could make an exception for the embedded one? It looks ugly with the text overlaid like this.

[Sherlocks]

I updated Sierra PB5.

I use option(fakecpuid(haswell), -xcpm, AsusAICPUPM) in el capitan.

There is no problem about booting in el capitan.

 

But i get kernel panic when sierra booting.

Kernel panic is AppleIntelCpuPowerManagement.kext

 

My cpu is g4500.

I propose to put "os_icon" in entry title for embedded theme.

I followed general method in forum.

But no lucky in sierra. El capitan is no problem.

 

Maybe i think sierra kernel is difference about xcpm and kernelpm binary. Need to patch. I checked AsusAICPUPM, it's no problem.

Boot flag -xcpm is deprecated in Sierra. Instead of using fakecpuid try to patch kernel.

Yes sir, let dev decide

You can follow that advice Sherlocks..

Trying to sync latest GrubFS from Pete Batard with latest Clover here. Binary attached.

are you talking Pike's kernel patch?

i tried pike's all binary patch. but still have AICPUPM panic

[Micky1979]

remove that panic! .. I think is not a problem for you!

[Sherlocks]

Cant use -xcpm bootflag in sierra. Kernel pm patch is no problem. So remain FakeCPUID.

I dont know exactly code fakecpuid. Also not sure.

@slice

 

- can you fix/change the edk2/Clover/rEFIt_UEFI/Platform/Nvram.c file?

... this seems to be the problem that started with 3694... when I comment out DbgHeader line, no more hung GUI!

thanks

$ diff Nvram.c Nvram-fix.c
462,463c462,463
<   DbgHeader("GetEfiBootDeviceFromNvram");
< //  DBG ("GetEfiBootDeviceFromNvram:");

Thanks for the careful testing. Now I see the mistake. It concerned not only nvram.c but rather all occurrence of DbgHeader

Just built 3698. It's nice to see the text labels gone on the embedded theme. They just didn't look right.

 

However, the new font (I like it over the old one) is white instead of black. Makes it harder to read the text on the grey background.

For you rev 3700 with black embedded font.

so what is going on with the Icon badges and my windows icon (which is a custom entry)?

now getting these little gray embedded badges? 

 

comparing 3696 to 3698+...

Give me your config with custom entries.

[tluck]

odd that all the badges - red cross, silver disk -  all become like embedded badges?

here is my config.plist

 

 

config.plist.zip

[Slice]

There are no custom icons in your config.

Are there files os_vista.icns or os_vista.png in your theme folder?

I see in clover repo file ..../thinkpad/icons/vol_internal_hfs.icns is damaged.

[tluck]

well. it is a very basic theme that has been working for several years. i just add new OS icons when needed (Yos, El_cap, macOS...)

and the ThinkPad theme I use is not same one you include with Clover repo - that is an old one from years ago created by a guy not involved with Hackintosh anymore.

 

however,  the version I use (maintained and updated by me) is in the theme repo:

https://sourceforge.net/p/cloverefiboot/themes/ci/master/tree/themes/thinkpad

 

it would be great to have the old one removed and replaced with the maintained theme in the repo.

 

anyway this theme works fine up to 3696. but then NOT on 3698.

[Riley Freeman]

The badges are in icns format. It looks like they need to be png from now on.

[chris1111]

Somethings wrong

Its a mix of Gold clover and embed themes

 

3700

 

Edit--  but Strangely black_green works good ?

 

[tluck]

@riley - spot on. just figured that out as i tried BGM icons in my ThinkPad theme and they worked fine.

 

so i will rework my "data" icons to PNG format.
