Are you sure?

Just launching Unibeast (not selecting Continue yet) I get this in Console var/log/install.log:

You might look directly at the log via Terminal:

Code:
cat /var/log/Install.log|more
# or
tail /var/log/Install.log

Or maybe you have somehow turned off Installer.app logging?
 
this the only entry shown in the all messages tab when i open unibeast.


"8/4/13 3:12:40.914 PM Installer[3143]: CoreAnimation: warning, deleted thread with uncommitted CATransaction; set CA_DEBUG_TRANSACTIONS=1 in environment to log backtraces.

I think you are looking at system.log, not install.log.

in terminal i get the same error "8/4/13 3:12:40.914 PM Installer[3143]: CoreAnimation: warning, deleted thread with uncommitted CATransaction; set CA_DEBUG_TRANSACTIONS=1 in environment to log backtraces
'
how do i turn on installer app logging?
 
I think you are looking at system.log, not install.log.

i repaired permissions & restarted & i now have log entries when i start/run unibeast which thread should i post them to or can i just post them here?

For 4530s there are no "extra boot arguments" required.
Is this machine new or used?
What are the full details/specs of the laptop?
