@MacNB @hardcorehenry any idea what is causing the computer to not wake from sleep as to me it seems the WIFI card as when I hard press the power button I see Wifi unable to connect to any network and PC hangs.  This happens when I use  XCHI port limit with Acpi patch.

 

Observation 2: when using USB.kext created the computer not going to sleep at all, as soon the cpu fan goes off it turns on again and hangs the pc completely and even here the Wifi shows disconnected and trying to connect to a wifi but rest all hangs up.

 

Did you ever have sleep working before OC (i.e. with Clover) ?

yes, it did before with clover but I made some changes and forgot as what break it on clover too, as the only thing I see after it goes to sleep is that the wifi keep trying to connect and by the time nothing works apart from a hard reboot

I get different result that you.

Yes it's early days for OpenCanopy and I'm sure the docs/functionality will improve.

 

Thanks.

And do we display <TOOL_NAME>.icns with PickerAttribute = 1 ?

E.g. I have created icons for ColdReset and Shutdown for the ResetSystem.efi tool but how do I display it ?

 

Indeed, we seem to have different results. With anything other than 15, and UIScale 2 I get different text sizes (also different labels, as you mentioned), which is probably a bug, but in the meantime, I prefer this. Also, I think with PickerAttributes 1 you don't get that white rim around the selection and no grey fill-in color for the arrow underneath. Could be wrong, or maybe it's only on my PC. But yeah, that's why, at least for now, I prefer setting it to 15. Seems to give me a more complete result overall.

 

 

My Windows partition is named "Windows" with PickerAttributes=1 (but also it's barely readable due to the very small text compared to the other drives) and "BOOTCAMP Windows" (with all text properly displayed) when set to 15. So...it's never "OtherOS" for me... That would be pretty inconvenient, indeed. :))

 

Also, I don't use "Cold Reset" and "Shutdown" (they do seem pretty useful from time to time though)...but I think my Reset NVRAM option, which I do use, was always displayed "Reset NVRAM". Not "tool". :)) Could be another bug.

You use old style.

Just now, Andrey1970 said:

I see...  So old style has those features but new one doesn't...? I didn't know that. Well, I guess I prefer the old style then. :)))

 

Anyway, I'll try a few more variants maybe I find a better option.

 

Thank you for the clarification.

Yes, need full tool name.

ResetSystem.efi.icns

You have a 4k monitor and I'm only using a 1080p one so I do not see the issues you are seeing with PickerAttributes = 1 (I guess).

 

For the Windows partition (on a separate drive to OC), I added a specific Entry in the config file otherwise it does not boot.

Also, this way the name is what I want it to display (except with PickerAttributes = 15 where it displays "Other OS"):

 

 

 

[arsradu]

@Andrey1970 looks like I've got the Picker Attribute options totally wrong. My bad.

 

And now I see what you mean with the old style picker vs new style.

I still have a lot to learn. And looks like I'm learning something new every day. So...thank you!

Oh, I see. Yeah, it's all clear now.

 

Indeed, for higher res monitors, text scaling doesn't seem to work quite ok. But apparently switching to old style picker helps with that (at least until the issue gets fixed).

 

For example, if I use UIScale = 2 and PickerAttributes = 1 the icons look ok, but the text is really small. But I'm still experimenting with that.

I'm sure the experts will figure out a fix.

Next we'll be asking for Vector graphics and the boot picker to support SVG

Thanks. Where do we place the ResetSystem.efi.icns file (which folder) ?

Use v0.5.9 and update Resources

Fixed with 0.5.9 and updated Resources. Thank you!

 

About 0.5.9, HideSelf seems to have some issues in this version. I get error: No schema for HideSelf at 3 index!.......0. Not sure what's with that 0 all the way over there. But I guess it's intended.

 

 

Also, HideAuxiliary doesn't seem to hide Time Machine backups anymore.

Also, it seems a bit slower to boot (with Audio) than previous version. But could be something else. Initially I thought it could be cause I was booting from an USB drive. But testing it on an SSD showed the same result. So I don't think it's that.

 

But yeah, the text scaling issue seems to be fixed with this version.

Thanks. Got it. It works. Configuration.pdf needs updating.

 

I duplicated ResetSystem.efi to ColdRestart.efi and named the corresponding icon as ColdRestart.efi.icns. Then,

I duplicated ResetSystem.efi to Shutdown.efi and named the corresponding icon as Shutdown.efi.icns.

Then set the corresponding entries in Tools in the config file with correct arguments and the tools work as expected.

 

I see this now:

 

 

I think I'll set Auxiliary = True to hide them now

Don't know what could be wrong.

Post your EFI folder.

HideSelf was removed, see change log before trying new versions, that's the base skill.

Yeah, when it's bundled like that with other changes, it's pretty easy to miss.

 

Anyway, thanks. I guess I'll just disable it in config then.

 

Update: HideAuxiliary issue for Time Machine fixed with latest commit.

OpenCore 5.8 with Catalina 10.15.5 on the HP 800 G1 working with just one change from the guid, setting ReleaseUSBOwnership to true lets it boot, the bios does not have an option EHCI/XHCI hand off.

 

AppleALC.kext causes the system to not boot, probably need some DSDT patching but using VoodooHDA it boots fine.

So, I did some testing today with my envy HD4000 and x360 using OpenCore 0.5.8 and I think I found the differences between the 2 laptops: one with single, non hybrid and the HD4000 has hybrid + mSata hard drives. It seems the OpenCore can't access these 2 system hard drives.

@vit9696  you have closed conversation as a resolved in bugtracker

problem still persist I don't have two EFI Partition
please consider my recorded video

because my english written is poor

Edited May 13, 2020 by ameenjuz

[vit9696]

Well, let me recheck again. Please reply to the bug, not here, I rarely read forums except when somebody asks me to check something. Also explain what you have where in the bugtracker.

You can take a look at my config.plist which allows for the use of -cpu host. https://github.com/Pavo-IM/Proxintosh/blob/master/OpenCore/config.plist

This seems an issue with msr reading, vit9696 pointed me to the right direction to fix it and a workaround should be available (the issue should not be within opencore but more likely with qemu).

 

May I ask what is the latest OVMF version officially supported by opencore? I wasn't able to find it, apart in a bugtracker post stating edk2-stable201905.

Is edk2-stable202002 supported officially?

I've been breaking my head against a wall over the last couple of days trying to get a fully working power management, which did work in clover but which I can only get to partially run on my setup (GA X99 UD4, 5820k, Vega 64). I've tried everything in terms of setting up the ssdt's compiling them (ssdt-ec/plug) with ssdtTime in windows and using pre-compiled versions from Dortania but none of them seem to make a difference. The only thing that seems to work is the AppleXcpmExtraMsrs setting enabled in quirks. Ioregistryexplorer tells me everything is loaded:

 

 

Hackintool tells me it's not: I/O MWAIT redirection and package c-state is not enabled.

 

 

And the system log shows me there is an ACPI error which I've googled but can't seem to find an answer:

 

 

I've uploaded my files including my dsdt in case anyone feels inclined to take a look and send my into the right direction. Or maybe there is someone else out there running opencore on my motherboard and cpu that would like to share their working settings. I've gone over the instructions over and over and browsed dozens of pages on this as well as other forums to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[viorel]

ACPI eror is your SSDT-DRTNIA.aml (SSDT-EC) 

[olmirror]

Thanks viorel but I get the same messages in the SSDT-EC I compiled with ssdtTime in windows (attached), it doesn't matter which one I use. Do you know what is causing the error, or what it is pointing to?
