macOS 10.13.6 Update

[nextria]

I Updated with the MAS everything is working.

Maybe a stupid question but how do I see if I need the usb patch ?

In my system info I shows usb 3.0 and 3.1 connected devices.

As far as I know I don’t use any usb patch.

If i try to replace the previous values in the clover configrator text mode i get this error:

I have tried update via appstore and doesn't work

I got "The installer resources were not found" error too. I made a post how I fixed it here

P5Q pro + e5450 + GTX960(WebDrivers) + HFSplus partition failed to update to 10.13.6
clover 4458

Didnt checked whats the deal. Just failed to boot to install entry, got a reboot at the end of boot process.

Figured this out.
I am using MacPro name and there is a patch for TyMCED kext to avoid kernel panics.
Seems that this patch is not working anymore - TyMCED is a reason for KP in my rig

I notice that after applying 10.13.16, the diskutil command to mount a volume no longer works. This affects my real MacBook Air running 10.13.6 as well. I was trying to mount an EFI volume and this is what I got.

myMacHack:~frontgear$ diskutil mount disk1s1
Volume on disk1s1 failed to mount
If the volume is damaged, try the "readOnly" option

The solution is use sudo with the diskutil command as follows:

myMacHack:~frontgear$ sudo diskutil mount disk1s1
password:?
Volume EFI on disk1s1 mounted

Confirmed. This seems to be a new security measure introduced in 10.13.6.

It does make sense though, because a normal user would otherwise be able to place a malicious payload on the EFI partition.
I guess this is Apple's approach to close that hole.

Clover Configurator is affected by the same problem, I guess the author will update it soon.

I had the problem “MacOS could not be installed: Installer resources were not found”. Tried everything, but the only solution was to remove the other harddisks from my system. After that the update files were installed on the right volume.

External icon patch not working for me anymore!
Any suggestions?

Anyone else got weird font issues?
Like render issues, it's hard to explain. Sometimes it looks like you write in Rainbow colors.

Yes! It sounds like we are having the same problem. I posted about this on the last page;

I am noticing odd display issues with my RX 580, there's something really off with the font rendering if I use displayport to my U2515H, but it's fine if I use HDMI. It looks like there's some sort of distortion to fonts, and it's very hard to describe.

I don't notice it in Mojave on the public beta (maybe because subpixel AA is gone?).

I have no other problems though, the update was smooth, I'm using Clover 4586.

What monitor/connector are you using?
