TimeLord04 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) 10-25-2020 at 9:13 AM - PDT I have placed Lilu, (Latest Version), into EFI --> Clover --> Kexts --> Other, and need to know where the following bits of Code go in my config.plist File. <key>SystemParameters</key> <dict> <key>InjectKexts</key> <string>Yes</string> </dict> I've hunted all through the config.plist File, and just DON'T understand WHERE this Code goes. I should also state that I'm resorting to Installing Lilu for the FIRST time EVER in my Hackintosh experience due to my Upgrade from High Sierra to Mojave, (Latest Security Update), and now I've LOST my use of Quick Look and Preview for jpeg Files. The First Step I took was to go into my BIOS and Reactivate the Intel HD-630 GPU, (from reading all over the Web on this), to 'hopefully' activate Sidecar and other Features due to my using iMac 18,3 Profile Characteristics which BEST match my Hardware, (in Signature below - 'Hackintosh'), with i7 7700K @ 4.2GHz. I HAVEN'T had to have my HD-630 Enabled throughout my entire High Sierra experience. A recent change to Hardware in my System is the removal of a GTX-970, and replacement with a Sapphire Pulse RX-580 8GB MacVidCards' GPU. (Preparation for Mojave Upgrade and Install.) The Upgrade to Mojave actually went smooth, no Install Issues to report. I only just recently found the Issue with Preview, two days ago. Other than Quick Look, and Preview, (and the, now, INABILITY to even Attach jpeg Files to e-Mails), my Hackintosh is working properly and efficiently. (I DID also Install the Latest WhateverGreen to 'Other'.) [EDIT:] Forgot to mention that I'm on Clover Boot Loader, NOT OpenCore. [EDIT 2:] I also use Clover Configurator to Edit Clover and config.plist File. TimeLord04 Edited October 25, 2020 by TimeLord04 Clarification of Boot Loader.

TimeLord04 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) 10:12 AM - PDT @Hervé, Thank you for the insight on using TextEdit. I was under the impression that I 'HAD' to use Clover Configurator and make the Edits in there.... COULDN'T for the life of me figure out in Clover Configurator WHERE those bits of code 'had to' or 'could' be placed. I first made a Copy of config.plist and pasted it on my Desktop. Then back in EFI --> Clover --> config.plist I opened the plist with TextEdit and found: <key>SystemParameters</key> <dict> <key>InjectKexts</key> <string>Detect</string> <key>InjectSystemID</key> <true/> </dict> I changed 'Detect' to 'Yes' and Saved the config.plist. Just finished Rebooting... STILL get 'purple lines' on Boot with ATI GPU, at Desktop, STILL CANNOT Open a jpeg File, Preview STILL crashes. What next? [EDIT:] Just reread your Post, I've just placed the Kexts into /L/E. Going to Reboot now, and see what happens. Be right back.... [EDIT 2:] Well Caching from /L/E DOESN'T work either... (I also tried a couple days ago with S/L/E no joy....) I get this in About This Mac --> System Report --> Software --> Extensions: Lilu: Version: 1.4.8 Last Modified: 10/5/20, 8:55 AM Bundle ID: as.vit9696.Lilu Notarized: Unknown Loaded: No Obtained from: Not Signed Kind: Intel Architectures: x86_64 64-Bit (Intel): Yes Location: /Library/Extensions/Lilu.kext Kext Version: 1.4.8 Loadable: No Authentication Errors: Authentication Failures: File owner/permissions are incorrect (must be root:wheel, nonwritable by group/other): /Library/Extensions/Lilu.kext, Contents, MacOS, Lilu, Info.plist Signature Validation Errors: Not Signed Dependencies: Satisfied Signed by: Not Signed WhateverGreen shows the same in /L/E, (and/or in /S/L/E), so still no joy. Still getting purple lines at Boot, and Preview and Quick Look STILL do NOT function. I'm guessing because these Extensions are NOT signed, (as shown above), that they WILL NEVER function in /L/E, or in /S/L/E.... What next???? [EDIT 3:] 11:07 AM - PDT: Fixed 'Permissions' and still got this: Lilu: Version: 1.4.8 Last Modified: 10/5/20, 8:55 AM Bundle ID: as.vit9696.Lilu Notarized: Unknown Loaded: No Obtained from: Not Signed Kind: Intel Architectures: x86_64 64-Bit (Intel): Yes Location: /Library/Extensions/Lilu.kext Kext Version: 1.4.8 Loadable: No Signature Validation Errors: Not Signed Dependencies: Satisfied Signed by: Not Signed I actually thought that JUST resetting the Folder Permissions for ALL Items in the /L/E Folder to 'System --> Read and Write' and everyone else 'Read Only' that this MIGHT fix the issue... NOPE, still believe that since Lilu and WhateverGreen are NOT signed that they WON'T work in /L/E or /S/L/E.... DON'T know where to go from here....

TimeLord04 Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Hervé said: You are aware of the security thingie called SIP that's been on the go since El Capitan, right? And that, to cache add-on/3rd party unsigned kexts from /L/E (or /S/L/E to that effect), you need to disable SIP, repair kexts/folder permissions and rebuild your cache? 2:25 PM - PDT @Hervé, See EDIT 3 above... Permissions repaired.... SIP Disabled @ 0x3 since High Sierra in Clover.... IF NOT right, what do I put in Clover to Disable SIP? THEN, how do I rebuild Cache???? Thanks for the assistance with this. [EDIT:] 3:25 PM - PDT OK - FOUND - I needed to change 0x3 to 0x67, DONE! Next, FOUND, System UUID BLANK - Generated NEW UUID. Saved config.plist AGAIN.... Rebooted.... Purple Lines GONE! Preview WORKS! UNFORTUNATELY, something WICKED happened with iMessage, AND IT NO LONGER works at all.... HOWEVER; I've ALWAYS had MINOR ISSUES with iMessage on Hackintosh, ANYWAY! I CAN always make use of iMessage on my Mac Pro 5,1 - which works better anyhow.... Thank you once again for ALL your assistance AND patience on this issue. I'll gladly take NO Purple Lines, working Lilu and WhateverGreen, in exchange for iMessage. God Bless my friend. TimeLord04 Edited October 25, 2020 by TimeLord04 Update.
