[Solved] Cannot use Nvidia web drivers after todays 10.13.6 security update?!

[jaymonkey]

Just checked installed updates in App Updates :-

Showing up as Security Update Public Beta 10.13.6



Very strange as the system is not registered with the beta program ...
Apple web site states that the November 2018 High Sierra Security Update is 2018-002
So I can only assume that somehow I've got the beta release of the next Security Update (2018-003) for High Sierra.

WTF ??

Having said that I still cant find any reference to 10.13.6 Build 17G4005 beta or otherwise ...

Confused ...
Cheers
Jay

Nvidia web driver for 10.13.6 (17G3025) is out.
It works...

Did not check what system build number is, but updated to yesterday's security update - all smooth with no problems, Nvidia update after rebooting as per usual procedure.

Did not do extensive testing but no problems noticed.

I'm not actually familiar with that tool, only that it aims to do same thing.

I use a diff one to fix the web driver.

https://github.com/vulgo/webdriver.sh

basically just run it with -m
so it modifies currently installed driver to work with currently installed OS build. it automatically changes build number, updates permissions and updates kext cache then you just reboot and it just works.

People using nvidia drivers should pretty much be used to this process at this point, cause we've had to do it for just about every update since 10.11.x when we update to new OS version (including security updates), before a new web driver is released

MysticalOS, what exactly do I enter in the terminal to use https://github.com/vulgo/webdriver.sh? Forgive my newbie-ness!

There are terminal one-liners on this page.

I entered the one liner for 113 in terminal but nothing changed after reboot.

Reply with a copy of IOReg attached, we might see why that is.

Vulgo, here is my IOReg. Thanks for the help.

You should remove the nv_disable=1 boot argument from config.plist.
