[Solved] NVIDIA Web Driver iBooks Bug

[konstabel]

Well, guess what I just did? The security thing bugged me after all (no pun intended).

A kernel extension with equal effect but no security impact is available at:

Thanks a lot man! This totally solved my issue of not being to use the Instruments profiler in XCode!

Fine with me if the mods agree. This is a common problem indeed. I can open a new topic if needed.

I'd second that, I found this thread only by using stack overflow..

I haven't updated to 10.12.6 yet, but I'm guessing the patch might not work with the new Kernel?

(Will be able to test later today or tomorrow perhaps).

Yes, it does work.

I'm trying to use the NVWebDriverLibValFix.kext (thanks for your work by the way !), but I am stuck at the kextutil stage, because the kext is not signed.

I saw the recommandation to allow kext unsigned with csrutil, but I already disabled completely SIP (CsrActiveConfig at 0x67). Shouldn't it be enough ?

Works great with 10.12.6 & 378.05.05.25f01, thanks again @mlg.

Thanks, mig!! It's working great here with my 10.12.6 install.

BTW, @mlg 's kext & (for Kaby Lake) ig-platform-id 0x59120003 allow both iBooks & QuickSync to coexist (as far as I can tell).

Hard to see what's happening with your system without more information, but as a test, try copying (i.e. a simple file copy, no need to install as such) the NVWebDriverLibValFix.kext into your EFI partition, EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other folder and see if that makes a difference...

(It may not given that you system seems to have the SIP disabled and so should allow kexts to load etc )
