Unibeast fails with OS X 10.9.2

[kongo47]

Hello,

I am facing issues with Unibeast and the latest (at the moment) version of Mavericks.
System version: OS X Lion
System langage: English
Unibeast version: 3.0.1
Installation app version: Mavericks 10.9.2 (13C64)

The mavericks installation app does not seem to have issues. When I run it locally it
allows me to reach the final install step. And I checked the checksum of the InstallESD.dmg
(i.e.: fdb286dd1a321eb9ae1bd136d5d388c3).

Yet Unibeast crashes and the install log does not state what is wrong:

Seems the post-install does not like something. I tried running it manually but it outputs the same message :

-------------------------------------------------------
UniBeast 20131008-1 Copyright tonymacx86 LLC
Install Application incomplete, exiting
Error with OS X Installation Application.
Redownload from Mac App Store.
-------------------------------------------------------

I notice that my version of the install app is newer than you binary (2013.10.08).
Could it be the cause of the issue? Do you use a list of hashes to test installer app validity?

Also, the Unibeast UI does not select automatically the installer version despite it being
the only one available. I bet this is a symptom.

UniBeast has detected that your copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app" is incomplete and you need to download it from the Mac App Store again.

Before you download it again, make sure that:

1) You only have one copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app" and it's in /Applications
2) Your system language is English
3) You are not using case-sensitive filesystem for /Applications or the target volume

 

[kongo47]

Here are my results :

1) I am sure that I have only one copy of the folder "Install OS X Mavericks.app".
I ran a double check with the following command :
User$ find / -type d -iname 'Install OS X Mavericks.app' 2>/dev/null

which returned a single line "/Applications/Install OS X Mavericks.app".
Even if there was a file or folder hidden deep in one of my other drives or removable
media, could Unibeast find in anyway?

2) The system I am using is english (as you can see by the english flavored error messages
in my install log).

BTW I have already been able to use Unibeast on a non-english system to install Lion.

3) I have checked with the system Disk Utility which tells me that my system is
of type "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
Here is the result of the `mount` command anyway :
User$ mount
/dev/disk2s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)

Plus I did test file creation and checked that the system was behaving case-sensitively.

-------------------------------------------------------

By the way, I have used my copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app" as a source to successfully
install mavericks on another system. So I am certain that the package is correct.

It's a shame the Unibeast post install script is absolutely not verbose.
Is there a way to :
* know where Unibeast is looking for the Install app? (I though it would only look in /Apps …)
* know where it has found it?
* know what tests is makes to validate the app?

I did try to run the post install manually and monitor system interaction with the `opensnoop`
command, but it doesn't seem to look anywhere.

Regards

By the way, when I select Mavericks in Unibeast it shows that only 9 MB will be used on the target.
Doesn't this seem wrong already?

 

[kongo47]

I have checked all your prerequisites.

Isn't there anything I can do to debug this behavior?
I'm in a dead end right now.

Regards.

Hello Obvious Answer Man.

Could you make it a little more obvious please?

I checked all the points of the troubleshooting guide.

As the log shows, I'm running 11G63b, so the Supplemental Update is included
in the system. I don't see CSSMERR_TP_NOT_TRUSTED in the log anyway.

Howerer, in the global console log I have the following messages :

authorizationhost: SFBuiltinEntitled: Installer.app is not entitled for system.install.apple-software
authorizationhost: SFBuiltinEntitled: Installer.app is not entitled for system.install.app-store-software
authorizationhost: SFBuiltinEntitled: Installer.app is not entitled for system.install.app-store-software
com.apple.SecurityServer: Failed to authorize right 'system.install.app-store-software' by client '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PackageKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/installd' [656] for authorization created by '/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer.app' [953]

I'll try and download the last version (10.9.3) and see if works better...

 

[kongo47]

Ok, I've downloaded 1.3.42 and it seems to work better.

Already at Phase 4.

I wouldn't consider this thread as solved anyway, as I could not find the
cause of the original issue.

FYI MacMan, I had a segfault message on a step :
