I’ll try again when I get home, maybe I’ll get lucky if not I’ll reinstall beta 6 again.

SIP is disabled and I’ve tried all the tools.

 

After getting home the update showed up but was painfully slow.

@Pavo I can't build OpenCore because new version of clang

 

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/11.0.3/include/stdint.h

 

But 

ls /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/                       

12.0.0

Well @Alex HQuest, 

Tried your edited DSDT, and the result is the same... my brightness slider is all grey and "wrinkled" LoL ...

Thanks for your time ...

Hi @eSaF, 

The last time my brightness slider worked was in BS beta 2, after that stopped working...

If the Apple wanted that function to work only in laptops why keeping it in desktops version? 

In relation with the date and time, I had that problem too, and I solved it with disable the set date and time  automatically and set that by hand after that it start to work normally...

Software update shows the update but the full installer script still only picks up dp6

 

Yeah, the full installer is not yet available for Beta7, only a 3.61GB delta upgrade from Beta6 to Beta7 via Preferences/Software Update.

 

This "Over The Air" update is currently available for developer seed members only.  Can check/change current enrollment with cvad’s app (thanks @iCanaro, @eSaF for heads up :))...

Some notes for the OTA update on my Skylake NUC6i5SYH (system1 in signature):

  • Used OC 0.6.2 with latest Acidanthera kexts but OC ver 0.6.0+ should also work
  • OTA update requires booting off a sealed APFS snapshot to complete successfully
  • OTA update does not necessarily require SIP enabled.  Can be on or off (I have SIP disabled so my USB wifi works)
  • Downloads update files to folder /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_MacSoftwareUpdate/9d85cf3c0dcbe1e8b5982adb56be75cea27b6827.asset/AssetData (not /Library/Updates like in Mojave, Catalina)
  • “Preparing Updates”  phase took about 30 min to extract files —> 3 reboots where system snapshot resealed, then boot to completed/updated system

 

Menu bar clock settings removed completely from System Preferences/Date & Time in Beta 7 :thumbsdown_anim:

@fusion71au

 

I have deleted all snapshots as per your guide but now I can’t update through OTA because macOS complains about not being booted from a sealed snapshot.

 

I tried to bless my /Volume/Big_Sur in recovery but it didn’t solved the issue.

 

Any idea to fix that?

@MorenoAv @eSaF you know, I’m pretty surprised this desktop mobo had the ALS0 device. Disabling it should also get rid of the automatic light sensor kext and the associated SMC functions controlling the slider. Perhaps an alternative would be to leave the ALS0 device active (aka revert the changes I did for you Moreno) and deploy the SMC plug-ins - in particular the SMCLightSensor.

 

Give that a shot.

I have the strangest phenomenon happening on my rig with this latest update, I just cannot get it to show up on my machine. I say strange because I was abled to D/Load and install all BS Betas both Developers and Public from the beginning but it seems I am stuck on Beta 6. Tried till late in the night and now this morning and the result is unchanged. What am I missing, SIP is fully enabled, I reinstalled Beta 6 again hoping to iron out any anomalies but no change. The config.plist is the latest commit (ver 0.6.2) oppose to the official release (ver 0.6.1) but the machine boots without any panics or quirky outputs so I am baffled, I have included as much info here hoping you guys will toss some ideas my way as to why. @Alex HQuest @Tiem @MorenoAv time you guys earn your pay grade. :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:

config.plist

I got mine to see B7 by resetting NVRAM twice (not sure if once is enough). As soon as I booted back in, no issues pulling down the latest BS.

 

FWIW, there likely won't be any more installers till GM, we are probably going to be running exclusively on OTA updates.

There is nothing to fix here. macOS has never supported third party displays outside of simply enabling picture and sound. They don't support brightness controls. You will either need an Apple display (Thunderbolt, etc.) or the new LG 4-5K displays that have been vetted by Apple to enable the slider.

 

That's just the way macOS goes. Stupid, but go bug Apple.

 

The only workaround to control your display is to use something like https://github.com/fnesveda/ExternalDisplayBrightness which can give you access to brightness controls via your dedicated keyboard keys.

 

With that said, this is just a limitation of the OS. Nothing technically wrong or no way to fix that I'm aware of.

Judging from the game I had with this one, if that is how it's going to be till GM, then I will stock up on headache pills. :lol:

Resetting NVRAM is pretty trivial. I was glad it was such an easy fix and nothing wrong with the actual EFI.

 

I've noticed lots of new entries as of late. GPUROM, IONVRAM-FORCESYNCNOW-PROPERTY, target-uuid, and then entries for the OTA updates. I'm not sure what's macOS and what's OC at this point. Nor what's garbage and what's required.

 

I used to keep it clean but now have stopped touching it.

 

One thing I did notice was that SU would twitch out. Listing the dev profile but then blinking and coming back without it, then listing that there was an error grabbing updates or there were no updates. That was rampant before the reset, but now, it takes a few seconds to show the profile but doesn't blink it away. So whatever the entries, it looks like SU at least requires some and if they are missing freaks out.

 

With respect the actual conflig.plist, I've pulled out csr entries and keyboard type as those are better left to the OS. Letting OC handle them seems to cause issues (at least for me).

Important Note: There is an unresolved bug on Beta 6 and Beta 7 you have to open Preferance System Security before starting an installer program or installing kext because otherwise there will be a preferance system error.

I’ve filed a bug with them on Sep 6. Posted about it here on the forums a few pages ago. There seems to be currently more than 10 reports but still on Open status.

 

A very dirty workaround/“fix”, aside of the panel being open prior to the kext install by the package installer, is for one to play around the software protection database to manually enable the offending kext (hint: under recovery mode, use “spctl” CLI command). PikerAlpha has described this behavior years ago and the information is still available on his blog.

Are you saying this is a behavior for non-laptops? Because the slider on my Dell laptop works just fine (and so are the Fn keys), and I was able to “reproduce” the brightness slider on my desktop computer, as seen by MorenoAV, by adding a fake ALS0 device on my iHack19.1, complete with the kexts loading and binding to the correct device. The screens are regular Dell 24” DP devices. I did made no further progress though as my PSU died and new ones are still way overpriced... :( so for now I’m just playing with my laptop and the real Apple gear.

Unfortunately you will have to wait until full installer available to perform upgrade install.  Looks like OTA upgrade process has hard coded the sealed snapshot requirement :(.

clock settings are in Dock and Menu Bar

 

Thanks.  Found the settings now moved to System Preferences/Dock and Menu Bar...

Any body using the script fie  installScript_1016fullapp to download  BS I highly recommend they start it with sudo -s

as sudo only has a limited time.

Thanks @Alex HQuest, for your efforts, but now we know better that is macOS intended behavior I can rest my quest to make it work as in the first beta. 

It's stupid and irksome but it's the weirdness of macOS BS, at their best...

I rest my case, and put the guitar in the bag ... LoL

To all you guys my eternal gratitude...
