Breber Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Hi all, I am new to Mac OS x86 world! Thanks to all those who have given out information on this site/forums. I have successfully installed Jas 10.4.8 with ppf on my pc after doing some research here. Thought I would love to contribute whatever I could.... I have realized that some users have experienced system crash while using clear command in terminal like I do. I have written and compiled a little c program that can replace the clear command came with the installation. Instructions Get root access: $sudo -s [password] Backup the original clear command: #cd /usr/bin #mv clear clear_BACKUP Put the "clear" command compiled by me in place (make sure you are in the directory where the "clear" command is): #mv clear /usr/bin Try the new "clear" command: #clear It should work! Enjoy!

devilhood Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Good job sir I also found out the reason off a guy on the IRC who explained that the problem was 64-bit related, and if you boot with the flags: -legacy (which forces 32-bit mode) it will temporarily fix the problem. Then once you have loaded any scripts that you need to, like the Semthex Kernel updater or Natit, you can simply restart without the flag.

The Grio Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 When I run clear now, I don't get a bus error, but a tput error, and the system still locks. Any suggestions?
