Yep, hit it as soon as I booted the basesystem.

I'll investigate it further, if any of you find any clues please let me know! Have a feeling this will be my new sleep-depriver!

I was following along this thread because it had some useful info as people were investigating the problems but solutions have been posted elsewhere and not copied back here, since they were not necessarily related to this specific project.

For instances with OpenCore Legacy Patcher, their latest release resolves all the problems for non-metal devices (OCLP version 1.4.3 -- https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases/tag/1.4.3 ).

For VMs on Proxmox VE/KVM/qemu the fix is to change the USB devices to XHCI and disable/remove EHCI, for example using an args line like this:

args: -device isa-applesmc,osk="<redacted>" -smbios type=2 -device qemu-xhci -
device usb-kbd -device usb-tablet -global nec-usb-xhci.msi=off -global ICH9-LPC.acpi-pci-hotplug-with-bridge-support=off -cpu host,k
vm=on,vendor=GenuineIntel,+kvm_pv_unhalt,+kvm_pv_eoi,+hypervisor,+invtsc

YMMV on the specifics depending on the host hardware.

I have just reinstalled the whole installation in a new folder, and redownloaded 14.4. Same problem. It seems the opencore problems with keyboard and mouse and Metal have bitten us.

I didn't see these posts and also updated to Sonoma 14.4. Now my MacBook Pro 13" mid-2014 won't finish booting. Get about half way, the keyboard lights up and then just hangs. It will boot if I remove the Root Patches, but of course without WiFi and proper screen size support. Hope this feedback help you all!

Sorry for the delay! I finally got back to troubleshooting and indeed you, bheardmedia, were right. I was using an out of date OCLP. (I’m surprised it doesn’t auto check to see if there are newer versions available, but I guess I would have to run it to have it make that check, duhhh). I downloaded the latest version, got it over to the Mac, re-ran the Root Patch upgrade and (after a couple of reboots) things seem to now be working fine. My apologies for the not checking that first. Note to self: always check to see if you have the latest version of OCLP before upgrading your system software! Thanks all!!!

What to do if (like me) the keyboard is unresponsive and you upgraded without reading?

I found out you can copy and paste commands to the terminal using SpotLight.

As one can only use the mouse to control most things, you want to do the following:

Open the Launchpad, open both Terminal and TextEdit (you may need to try clicking twice so a new terminal/document window actually opens).

Using the mouse select all the text in the Terminal window, now press right click (to show the contextual menu) and copy all the contents from the terminal window; then Paste into the TextEdit document. This is important as the Carriage Return can't even be entered in either Terminal or TextEdit (as the keyboard is unresponsive).

Next press Command + Space, to invoke the Spotlight window, there you can actually type anything and using the Mouse you can select what you typed and using the contextual menu copy/paste wherever you need in this case, the Terminal window.

You need to copy the whole line in the TextEdit window so that both the command and a carriage return get carried over in the clipboard, for this you may replace only the text in any particular line with the command but make sure there are additional lines down so you can actually copy the carriage return.

Some commands need sudo, you can copy and paste your password using this method.

I know, it's annoying, but it worked for me: in this way I was able to delete the Local TimeMachine target, set a new one and create a backup. I will be reverting back to Ventura for the time being.

Hi there,

Can you try a soft reset of the repo?

You can do this from the Extras menu. (Extras > Restore Tools)

Many thanks

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

I just tried. On every item I tried I got the same message:

Integrity
DAMAGED

The repo integrity could not be verified.
One or more files required to restore are damaged or missing.

The script cannot continue.

===================
Also on Download and restore repository,
Only Reset NVRAM did run.

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

Okay that's really strange.

I'll try repro it tonight. Perhaps try commenting out the -device usb-ehci,id=ehci line in your boot script, and if that doesn't work, try commenting out the other -device qemu-xhci,id=xhci line, see if that makes a difference.

As for the reset tools- does the repo integrity check still fail on a new clone? Don't worry, we'll get it sorted.

Thanks again

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

Same issue for me. I commented out both -device usb-echi,id=ehci and device qemu-xhci,id=xhci but didn't have any luck with it.

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

In either of your cases- is this specific to 14.4?

Yep. I downloaded Sonoma from the installer but upon booting, I got the green slider button screen and the cursor stuck in the top left corner. Then I installed Ventura and that was successful. Updated to Sonoma from Ventura and again the cursor was stuck, this time on the log in screen and the keyboard was also unresponsive.

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

I've been facing the same issue with 14.4 as well. I'm trying to install Ventura now, and that seems to be going fine.
I'd be happy to provide any log files or diagnostic data.

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

Okay. I'm going to attempt to reproduce it now

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

I'd have a look at the OpenCore repo, there is talk about problems with 14.4 over there too. See https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases/tag/1.4.2

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

Thank you all for the issue. While we wait for a fix from Coopydood (and Dortania for that matter), I will see for a potential way for every one of you to downgrade to 14.3 in the meantime.

For everyone that just joining in on this issue, please do not update to 14.4 at this time.

Are you updated to the latest OCLP? That should be fixed on most devices 2012 and newer. It is for my 2014 Macbook Air.

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

If you have another computer, the keyboard also works via ssh, but, unfortunately, not via remote desktop.

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

I had the "same" problems:
Problem1: - mouse & keyboard stuck, Solution; use an external USB kewboard.
Problem2: -mouse & keyboard (seems to be) stuck. Solution: In my case it was not kw problems. Whole system was really slow. I rebooted and it went ok.

Problem 3: After I install root patches, when reboot to take effect, i get black screen and bar stucks at half. Nothing to do so I had to reinstall all OS again several times until i saw a solution.
Solution: Before install root patches, go to OpenCore Patcher ->Settings ->Security, and be sure to have checked:

ALLOW_UNRESTRICTED_FS (checked by default)
ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_ROOT (checked by default)
ALLOW_UNTRUSTED_KEXTS (you need to check this one)

This worked for me!

Hello, I have the same problem with the bluetooth that I can't connect the keyboard and mouse. But by USB external I can use another mouse and keyboard.

I have a mac mini 6.1 with sonoma 14.4 and opencore 1.4.2

The bluetooth didn't switch on it gets off inmediately. And by advanced settings its switch on but didn't detect any bluetooth devices.

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

Thank you @luisoctavio77
I too was an idiot who updated without checking first. Using your advice, I have been able to enable autologin, which seems to have resolved the unavailable keyboard issue, and now have been slowly bumbling my way around. - Still facing issues, however, hoping that I can hold out until OCLP is updated by our heros!

HOW TO HAVE SONOMA 14.4/14.4.1 WORKING IN A NON-METAL iMAC

I installed Sonoma 14.4 on a 10.1 iMac with non-metal GPU and had the same problem. I tried several times and was able to see that without root patches installed the top menu bar appears and the keyboard worked as usually, even though the computer is very sluggish. I managed for a first time to have everything working letting the screen turn off after computer turned on and only then trying to enter my account. But then when the screen turned off again the keyboard was not working (via bluetooth or via USB-cable) and I was not able to write the password to enter my account. So had to retry to enter with everything working and disabled the password requirement after the screen turn off. I even autoupdated to Sonoma 14.4.1 and after the first time entering to my account had to install root patches and after which the lack of the top menu bar and the keyboard not working reappeared. Had to try to enter several times and now managed to enter my account with everything working with the following procedure:
-Turned on the computer;
-After the screen showed the prompt to enter my password I waited for the screen to turn of (5 minutes) and only then tried to enter my account for the first time;
-The first time is always unsuccessful and after some time the screen shows the prompt to enter the password once again;
-Waited for the second time (5 minutes) for the screen to turn off and only then typed the password to enter my account;
-This second time even though it took quite while to enter my account some time after showing the background image, the top menu bar appeared and some seconds later all the apps in it started to work.

So, now I have my 10.1 non-metal iMac working normally with Sonoma 14.4.1 installed and the only minor issue I notice is that the mouse point disappears after some time not being used and have to move the mouse in the direction of the top menu bar and into some menu for it to appears once again. This does not happen so often.

So when is this going to be fixed?... I mean It bricked my imac's.

I have no idea. I'm not a developer of OpenCore or have affiliation with the team. This project is merely a KVM-based implementation of it.

I've left this thread open because it appears useful for some people but please note this project is NOT based on the development of OpenCore itself.

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

I can confirm that with OpenCore Patcher 1.4.3 the problems in my non-metal iMac (10,1 late 2009) were solved.

from ultimate-macos-kvm.

Fixed successfully by ripping out the EHCI! Pushing the updated configs in 0.11.2 tonight.
