mariosun Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) From many versions the Clover Configurator app has serious problems if you use the features guaranteed by Clover Bootloader. I am referring in particular to the KernelToPatch section and the skip and count tabs which are completely missing (see photo below) The even more serious thing is that if you provide a config.plist that has these two tabs in it, the app just with a simple save deletes the config lines, producing serious difficulties and a non-working config.plist This is of particular importance for users with AMD CPUs, but it is also of some importance for Intel users who use some Kernel patches with clover (take a look to know which ones are in the samplefull.plist present in the opencore docs) To avoid controversy I am attaching a link where the Clover dev (Slice) explains the changes in the clover versions .. and skip and count are present and identical to the corresponding versions of OpenCore!

Slice Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Where is the maintainer of the Clover Configurator? I have no access to it and I don't take any responsibility for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 5T33Z0 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Don't edit this section in Clover Configurator. It's not implemented apparently. Use a Plist Editor like ProperTree (yes, it works with any plist) and add these keys manually. I reported the issue on mackie100's website.

Guest ricoc90 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) Clover Configurator is a third party application and the issue has already been mentioned on its page:https://mackie100projects.altervista.org/clover-configurator/#disqus_thread Edited July 27, 2022 by ricoc90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has given to you some responsibility😂 because some people think this was an AMD only problem and not a general app problem I have marked again also here this fact known from years from every AMD an clover bootloader users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit weird that these keys haven't been implented into Clover Configurator after about 2 years. But on the other hand, Clover doesn't come with a proper changelog which would make it easier for the Clover Configurator Dev to track the changes and implement them. It goes both ways.

mariosun Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Attached plist is a part of custom sample plist found in OpenCore documentation: SampleCustom.plist.zip these patches are not AMD related, maybe many of them could need to debug stuff and problem but some of them have other purposes Now, if clover boot loader has a different way or option to use them there is no problem If we have to convert for Clover and put them in KernelToPatch or KextToPatch sections Clover boot loader users have a big problem if then they edit config.plist with clover configurator... So opened issue should be more general and not only AMD related and that way for the CC dev it might be more interesting to fix the bug! it would also be useful to link this thread to CC devs, perhaps moving it to the most appropriate Clover area Edited July 29, 2022 by mariosun thread moved in appropriate area 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
