are you using display port for your monitor. VGA doesn't work. also, some specs of you computer would help, what CPU and BIOS settings

i've got an 4th generation i7 with default bios config + AHCI both displays connected to display port

[Donw35]

ok, you are using the clover folder that I am, have you tried it with just one Monitor connected to the display port ?

I didn't update to Catalina but updated my 10.14.6 Mojave to another update by Apple.

After that my HP 800 G1 didn't go to sleep. If I forced it to sleep, it can wake up but my mouse and doesn't work.

Need to force restart it.

Hi @Donw35 i'm still having sleep issues since catalina upgrade - detailed post below. 

 

I just thought i'd recheck my clover folder vs your latest in post 1 - it seems like you have only ApfsDriverLoader.efi and OsxAptioFix3Drv.efi in drivers in the latest iteration? 

 

I'm still using a few from a previous iteration

 

- can I ask what made you tweak them down to just the 2 above? anything here likely to help solve my sleep / darkwake issue?

oops: missed this " 10/23/2019 using Intel onboard iGPU, made some changes to the /drivers/UEFI folder to fix sleep issues." what were the issues you had ?

[Donw35]

I use only what is needed to get into the OS, some of those drivers are not needed or not needed for what I am doing and of course some address issues with other hardware or motherboards. 

 

try using darkwake= 8 and remove all the FakeSMC_* sensor kexts, see if that helps, also, don't use Chrome or have it running when your system enters sleep mode.

[mitch1]

Thanks - i'm giving the stripped down version a shot now. I'm already using DW=8. If this doesn't solve i'll start removing SMC sensor kexts.

 

Seems virtual SMC is the newer way to go - have you tried that one at all? 

 

[Donw35]

I have not, probably need too, not sure what improvements and or fixes it address..

[mitch1]

If it ain’t broke don’t fix as they say ... but I am intrigued  

[Donw35]

yeah, what I thought too and I couldn't find much that said there was any or important improvements using one or the other.

[mitch1]

unfortunately no change with the slimmed down driver folder or removal of sensor kexts. Just switched to VirtualSMC to see if that makes any difference.. will report back. Its such a tedious process as it always sleeps fine the first night to start doing the same tonne of darkwakes on the 2nd night

[Donw35]

you are using my most recent clover folder ?

[mitch1]

Yes switched to your latest clover folder from post 1. Kept my usb ssdt as I have a mini tower. If yours is not having the same issues I can only assume it’s hardware related - if no change with VirtualSMC I will unplug BDdrive next (although was no issue in Mojave)

[Donw35]

for fun I installed VirtualSMC, worked but I don't see any differences yet, lets see how sleep works

[mitch1]

VirtualSMC no different here either. Also unplugged optical drives and wifi card just in case- Same result - goes all night to from 22:47 - 6:56am every few minutes.

 

Is yours the same or no problem? 

next up I will try clean install on a spare HDD. 

 

[Donw35]

give me the command you used to pull this log

[mitch1]

pmset -g log | grep -iE "wake from|entering sleep"

[Donw35]

Yes, I am see the same thing, I am thinking it may be the VooDooHDA kext, I am going to ditch it and see what happens.

 

[mitch1]

Hmm not sure that’s the same as mine ? Much less frequent and no Darkwakes in the log.
 

Extract from my brand new install onto new Hdd attached - no wakes overnight and the couple in the day was me touching keyboard. Will see again tonight if it stays asleep. 
 

Really no mega odd 3rd party software on the problem build except Tuxera NTFS driver and VNC server so of it stays asleep without these I’ll look here next.

Hey @Donw35

i was struggling to increase the vram of the intel hd4600 behind a dp-vga screen as well as the alc back on.

 

And then i discovered your post, and your clover is a marvelous work.

 

i was able to keep my bcm94350zae and a nvme, now it’s almost perfect, so thank you for that piece of cake you gave us!

Unfortunately the clean install is doing the same again . 1st night fine then second night turns into an insomniMac ! May try the voodooHDA Kext next else just switch back to Mojave .. don’t like admitting defeat though. 

 

I've just been playing with the log and using

pmset -g log|grep -e " Sleep " -e " Wake " -e " DarkWake " 

 

reveals a bit more info. 

 

A bit of googling found this https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/catalina-odd-wake-behavior.286554/ and https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250859699 which is the exact same issue.

 

[*process=dasd request=Maintenance ... seems to be the issue

 

- no resolution yet but restarting everyday seems to stop it occurring. I'm thinking this is a Catalina bug rather than EFI problem.

 Hello
On my USDT I have 2 USB3 Works in front but only 1 works in the back, I just need one usb3 on the back, it's not embarrassing for me.
