An iDiot's Guide To Lilu and its Plug-ins

[zipb]

I followed the instructions and can't get this to work. Quick sync is not showing up as an option for me. I followed the instructions but when I generate the patch nothing of note is generated. Just says "
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Devices</key>
<dict>
<key>Properties</key>
<dict/>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
"

When I generate. I've installed the newest lilu + wg via hackintool/kext beast + kext utility. I even added the patch you generated for my iGPU to the config list. I have a GT 710 that I'm using as my dGPU, I'd like to activate headless mode so I can utilize quick sync from my iGPU.

Have you enabled your iGPU in the BIOS? I had the same problem with my new Z390 because I had my iGPU on auto in the BIOS.

Hi !
Sorry to bother you, tried the steps to set headless platformID, to get rid of the noVPAjpeg.kext, but i'm not able to create a patch in hackintool. Looked for an answer but haven't found it around (hope it's not in the 48 pages of this topic, tried to look but with no luck).

Hackintool is not generating anything specific in patch. The cpu is not properly recognized, it seems, and in clover configurator, in CPU tab, there's no info at all in my config.plist.

Here's some screenshots of Hackintool to explain my problem :

the code generated is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Devices</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Properties</key>
        <dict/>
    </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

Seems I am doing something wrong, so seems to me a related question to this guide, that's why I don't open a new subject ! thanks a lot for any help !

@el.Charlot,

Thats interesting as another user recently posted the exact same issue (also Haswell CPU) .. see post #469 and my reply after it, so your issue may be related ... it should be noted that the Azul framebuffer can be problematic.

The only time i've seen something similar is when Lilu + WhatEverGreen are not installed correctly or corrupted so it might be worth checking that first .... also as stated in the guide make sure that you don't set any IGPU parameters in Clover as it can confuse the WhatEverGreen kext.

Other than the above I haven't seen the issue myself with Lilu + WhatEverGreen correctly installed so difficult to know what else to suggest.

I would follow the advice i gave in the reply to that post and inform @headkaze about the issue on the Hackintool support thread :-

[Release] Hackintool v3.x.x

HACKINTOOL The Swiss army knife of vanilla Hackintoshing WARNING! Hackintool is not an automated patching tool that does all the work for you. Knowledge is required on how to patch before using it. Please read the Intel Framebuffer patching using WhateverGreen guide before you download this...

Hopefully @headkaze can shine some light on the issue.

Cheers

Hackintool is not generating anything specific in patch.

Can you run Hackintool from Terminal (run Hackintool.app/Contents/MacOS/Hackintool) and then try generating a patch and see if there is any error output.

 

[el.Charlot]

Thanks a lot, reading the 10+ first pages but not the last one, my bad .

I've reinstalled latest lilu and whatevergreen with no changes, and seems to me I hadn't any igpu in clover (at least not showing in clover configurator). Seems to my I have only cpupm and usb stuff in there.

I will check your link, thanks !

Sorry for previous post, I answered at the same time as you

So I ran hackintool in terminal, but I don't know after that how to generate a patch from there. Here's what I had in terminal window when I ran it from here :

Jaymonkey, can we continue this discussion in your topic or do you want me to continue it on the other thread ?

And I really wonder why I have no cpu listed in clover configurator, I seem to remember having my processor listed there ...

[edit] if anyone having the same issue arrives here, this particular problem is continued here

 

[headkaze]

So I ran hackintool in terminal, but I don't know after that how to generate a patch from there.

You generate the patch like you usually do from the UI.

Probably best to continue discussion in the Hackintool support thread. Also please update Hackintool to the latest version.

He doesn't have an IGPU entry in his PCI list so Hackintool will not be able to generate a patch. He has an nVidia card and WhateverGreen is loaded correctly. I don't know what he should do in this situation? Maybe his IGPU is disabled in his BIOS?

 

[el.Charlot]

IGPU is enable in bios, I really don't understand why the patch isn't returning any code

@el.Charlot,

@headkaze is correct ... looking at your PCI list shows that there is no IGPU enabled, if it was it would show up in the list.

@el.Charlot,

Some BIOS's automatically disable the IGPU if it detects a dGPU installed, (eg: Some ASRock motherboards), in these cases you have to enable a option called "Multi Monitor Mode" which will ensure the IGPU is enabled even if a dGPU is installed ...

Thats about all I can think of.

Cheers
Jay
