Is it possible to turn DeBug in Disk Utility?

 

Tried it and it doesn't seem to work anymore even though the command line is accepted.

 

One thing I noticed, I couldn't repartition a MBR disk with 3 partitions, I had to boot to an older OS X to be able to repartition the disk.

I was hoping for an big improvement to Yosemite but alas, it still looks crappy - still sticking with Mavericks and I guess it is time to move on to Linux or Freebsd. I *really* and absolutely detest the Yosemite font, dock, icons, etc. pretty much everything. It just sucks and blows. I have two imacs my wife uses and it is all I can do to look at the hideous interface when working on her computers it is absolute torture. It is a toss between windows 8/10 which is more hideous and don't even get me started on iPhones, thank God for android.

It is different, but I've grown to like it.  Yosemite, and now El Capitan, have proven more stable for me than Mavericks, which would reboot whenever under heavy load.   I certainly wasn't expecting a huge UI change with El Capitan, based on Apple's previous release history and the name itself.  From a couple hours using 10.11, it certainly feels snappier than Yosemite, and any other version of OS X I've tried.

 

thank God for android.

Amen brother.

Do you guys have a problem logging in your Apple ID? They say something about unable to verify my computer...

NOP...Everything is working.

New disk utility is horrible.

not even installed :P

 

Anyway to solve that just go to : /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete NetworkInterfaces.plist

 

reboot

 

it should be solved.

I agree about Disk Utility... it's really messed up!

 

Btw even if it not as faster as they claimed, these quick test confirms that's it is a little snappier.

Try remove AirPortBrcm4360 inside IO80211Family.kext.

 

Use this boot-arg rootless=0

 

I deleted the entire IO80211Family.kext and repaired permissions.  It still KP's at the exact same place with the AirPortBrcm4360.kext in backtrace.

Nice results!

But I am wondering why with my system (also using a GTX 780) I am not getting the same results... more close to 45-50 than 70 on 10.10.3

(I am suspecting the fact that my GPU does not run at full speed and frequencies when Cinebench is running, but I am not sure...)

 

Can I ask you if you could share your smbios.plist ?

Also, have you patched the AGPM kernel extension ?

The one I got is an Asus with factory overclock and 3gig without any edits or patches it just works! (installation require nv_disable=1)

 

The frequency during the cinebench test reported by iStatMenu gets around 750mhz...

 

by the way 45 50 frames seems a really low result for a 780...

 

lf you take a look at the screenshot on the right, at the fourth place on the list there is a gtx 460 with a result of 59.86

 

Strange...
