jefftr66 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Running OC 0.7.0 and it boot fine. When I run ocvalidate I get this: Â OCS: Missing key Flavour, context <Tools>! OCS: Missing key RealPath, context <Tools>! OCS: Missing key TextMode, context <Tools>! Â Web searches turn up very little. Like I said, it does boot and I do see these messages just prior to the Picker screen. Not sure if I need to do anything but bothering my OCD.

jefftr66 Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 I think I see the problem. What I've done the last few updates is take the sample.plist file and Shift-Cmd-Opt-R my OC folder to update ACPI, kexts, etc. But that seems to erase the Tools section. Is there supposed to be more in my Tools folder than OpenShell.efi?

miliuco Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) @jefftr66 Wrong. I don't know where is the error but in 0.7.0 each tool has to have Flavour, RealPath and TextMode keys, without them you'll get the warnings.

jefftr66 Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 @LIMITANTI guess not. I must be stupid...even though my machine boots and I've been through multiple upgrades. So explain to me how to edit a config.plist correctly since you are an expert. Â I never said I wasn't grateful - I'm trying to understand and learn. I'm following the directions in Dortania's guide - and it's not working. Obviously I doing something wrong but I don't see what it is. It must be obvious - so explain it to me. I am an MD and I've built multiple computers and even have a passing knowledge of Unix. So I think my feeble brain can follow your high-level instructions.

I'm kind of stumped how to resolve this. 3 minutes ago, LIMITANT said: Yes .... compare with eyes and add or delete by hands I apologize if i offended you , but i want to help you Have a good day Thank you - I do appreciate the help. But the process I've been using for a number of updates apparently is no longer valid. I'm trying to understand why and how to make an efficient and easy process to update. I always compare the sample.plist with my own but I didn't think I had to hand enter the changes. And my concern is once I run the Snapshot cmd it will erase the entries I made in the Tools section.
