OpenCore General Discussion

[Guest 5T33Z0]

@SavageAUS The theme you are using needs to have an Icon for the distro you are using stored in the Resources/Image/AuthorName/ThemeName/ folder

 

And then you can set the name of the icon as Flavour to the name of the icon (if it's not assigned automatically).

 

This has some Icons for Linux distros: https://github.com/blackosx/BsxM1

The theme I am using has an Arch Linux icon. I’m just chasing the right syntax to use to get them to appear. I couldn’t find anything in the OC configuration pdf. 
 

Nevermind found it.

OCS: No Schema printed on display for 100 milliseconds or less, take many many times to take photo because displayed for too short time.

 

Is possible increase time this critical informations is displayed?

If the OpenCore not wanna boot because of config issue, user need time to take photo and do research to fix.

iPad camera too too slow to take the photo, it need time for the autofocus

 

Now so I need figure out what is all this means:

 

[Avery B]

@drayonnno schema means that Opencore does not recognize that value, most likely because it was taken out and replaced by something else (or moved). If you tell Opencore to write to a log file (look for details under Misc->Debug, I don't remember exact values needed), it will write those errors in there as of OC 0.8.1.

Thanks.

 

I ran ocvalidate, found 17 missing keys, copied from sampleconfig.plist to mine removed the No Schema ones so now boots not messages 😉

 

Last issue to resolve, AirDrop macOS to iPad. 

AirDrop iPad to macOS works but not mac to iPad.

 

GBU521 BT 4.0 Broadcom BCM920702

Maybe macOS Ventura fixed this.

 

or Maybe in my config Kernel/Add I need entry for the other two:

BrcmFirmwareData.kext

BrcmPatchRAM3.kext

 

cos have entry only for:

BlueToolFixup.kext

 

these the kernel extensions i have:

Recently started using OpenCore and it’s working great. Now I am using a theme which looks great but I have lost my startup sound? Does that mean I’ve done something wrong or is the sound file missing from the theme and I just need to copy it from the acidanthera ones?

Do you have that in the plist?

You must have AudioDxe.efi.zip in OC > DRIVERS (Obviously declared in the plist)

 

And OCEFIAudio_VoiceOver_Boot.mp3.zip in OC > Resources > Audio

[Guest 5T33Z0]

@drayon You can use OpenCore Auxiliary tools to fix missing entries just by saving the config:  https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated/tree/main/D_Updating_OpenCore

It was all working before switching to using a 3rd party theme so I don’t know why any audio settings would have changed. I’ll check the settings tomorrow and let you know. I definitely have the AudioDxe driver .efi and the plist entry. 

[Anto65]

Maybe you just miss the audio file in OC> Resources> Audio
If you replaced the entire Resources folder ... it probably wasn't there ... Check it out

Anyone able to let me know a decent wi-fi+bluetooth 5.0+ card that will work in M.2 slot for a Skylake chipset running MacOS Monterey (Olarila version)?

 

 

I currently have the Dell Inspiron 13 5368 2-in-1 laptop that comes with the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165. I have the Wi-Fi working for it but I need the Bluetooth as well.

 

I've used the recommended Ktext and that's how I got the Wi-Fi working (I have it off in the photo - using hard wire connection):

 

But doing the same for Bluetooth does not seem to work. I can turn it on but it really does not come on:

 

 

 

So I'm just looking for a plug-and-play type of wi-fi+bluetooth 5.0 M.2 Card.

@StealthRT

 

With Intel WIFI/BT & Monterey you only need 3 kexts (Latest version):

- AirportItlwm.kext 

- IntelBluetoothFirmware.kext

- BlueToolFixup.kext

 

Any others would cause a major conflict..( remove all Brcm... kexts )  & don't forget to clean your NVRAM.

Thanks for the reply. How do I clear the VRAM? Seems getting rid of the Brcm kext caused some issues with my touch pad but the Bluetooth still did not work.

I have all the required file and configs but since switching to a flavours theme i have lost startup sound.

 

Spoiler

Ok that problem has resolved itself somehow but after rebooting now my trackpad that was working, isn't anymore and usually i would use the ALT key and spacebar to open spotlight, now it is the windows key and space.

I cannot work out why the issues are happening. Trackpad was literally working fine but now is not.

 

Figured it out.

I did a sync with OCAT and it replaced rehabmans VoodooPS2Controller.kext with the once from Acidanthera and that one doesnt play nice on my system.

Replaced the kext back with Rehabmans and all is well.

@StealthRT It would help members to come to your aid faster if you add specs to your profile.

 

 

As usual thanks to @chris1111 for his work on Background & icons.

Have you tried to rename the icon, as you named it in the Entries? ( PopOS.icns  not  Pop!_OS.icns )

 

 

😜

Devs since OS 12.4, aqc113c kill the sleep in all MB with this chip. If we disconnect the cable, it sleep like a baby, if not, it is a continue loop. Maybe you can find a solution.
