macOS 10.14.5 Update

[sammyobeid]

software update - didn't update clover or kexts - also had those pesky purple lines during the update but everything is fine so far.

Updated over the weekend from 14.4 to 14.5. Everything went smooth, but I get the purple lines on Apple logo screen. My monitor flashes twice and then my video is visible. I also lost use of my on-board video, which is the HD 530. It was working fine with 14.4 but does not work in 14.5. I currently have to use the AMD video card, RX 560. Other than that, all is ok.

Anyone else experience loosing on-board video, and if so, any solutions yet?

I get the purple lines at every boot. And seems like my default desktop is shifting from one screen to another as well. I do not have the onboard video enabled, I use only the AMD Vega 56. It is not a big deal but rather annoying. Probably will need to wait until someone more experienced takes a look at it and finds a solution.

I have never patching USB port, but it looks work well(10.12,10.14.1,10.14.2,10.14.4), how to judge if I should patching?
Thank you.

There are a number of guides on here for why and how you do it. The below is an example:-

no issues, other that horizontal purple lines close to Audio Equalizer Like effect and just in the top 2-3 inches of screen, went away by themselves. NO purple lines on reboots after update completed, runs normal, clover 4920. Updated from app store, initial install was from a couple of weeks back 10.14.4.08

Overall: update went without issues.

Updated Clover & AppleALC.kext prior.

3 restarts - initial, 2 during the update.

Purple lines did appear during the installation, as well as post-installation to initial log-in post installation. Admittedly, expected the first set of purple lines, but not the second, nor the third set - a bit freaky, but all went well - progress bar continued to move during the installation phase with the lines on the screen. The last set, prior to log-in, was a bit scary as the screen blacked out for a bit, though the hard disk light kept going. I left it alone and the log-in screen eventually came up - whew!

Ugg updated clover and kext started the install and my Samsun 970 m2 doesn’t show up in the clover boot options anymore ??

Please post help requests in the Mojave Desktop Support Forum section (not in this thread)

This update went very smooth. Here's what I did before and after updating:

- Before launching the update installer I did a backup with CCC (and checked if backup volume was bootable), saved last working EFI on Dropbox, updated Clover and removed the VgTab fixes from the config.plist

- Since I have a Vega 64, I'm also experiencing the purple lines in verbose mode, right before the apple loading logo.

- With the installation completed I have applied the new USB patches for 10.14.5 (but during the verbose boot I can still read some enumeration failures with USBs... by the way, they seem to work fine).

- On the next reboot, after having fixed USBs I have noticed that my Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 64 seems to be correctly power managed by the OS:
a) the fans operates in "zero noise mode" - they don't spin until the GPU reaches critical temps
b) even when fan spins they never get too loud (I checked fan speeds right after a stressfull unigine heaven benchmark: only 1400 rpms @ 59°)
c) finally the annoying coil whine seem to be gone!

Further impressions may come on the next days!

Two restarts and approx 13 minutes later:

During the update, I did see some random purple lines on the screen for a few seconds. I ignored it and the update continued fine.

I almost have same as your system but why it's not reading my CPU? I have it under (3.6 GHz UNKOWN) ?
