Hi!
Hard to find a short title to be clear but here we are.
I'm sure many of us have met this issue, trying to replace a working Chimera with Clover:
- When launching Apple Mail, it will ask for all your accounts passwords.
- Chromium too thinks it's on a different computer and makes all your extensions and settings disappear — for security reasons, I bet.
Actually, if you don't change anything, force quit Apple Mail and Chromium then reboot through Chimera, everything works as before!
So what are the settings to make the OS and those apps think they're on the same computer?
I've tried booting with Chimera, then in Clover Configurator set System Parameters / Custom UUID to "Get it from system" and set SMBIOS / System Serial Number to the one in Chimera's smbios.plist under SMserial, SmUUID to the one found in IORegistryExplorer but that's not enough — of course, iMac models are the same.
No way.
Might be Bios Version, or else?
I'm wondering if it's the abundance of details in Clover, instead?
Any idea?
