[AUTOPILOT] [Extras] macOS boot argument editor unable to find config.plist #115

fahedmahidi · 2024-08-13T13:25:29Z

Describe the Issue

I might be wrong, but I am assuming AutoPilot is supposed to generate the config.plist file and then give it the right permissions so we could later on have control over it through the extras/macOS boot argument editor.

But when I use the macOS boot argument editor to view or change the options I receive the following message :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/fahed/Repos/ultimate-macOS-KVM/./scripts/extras/boot-args.py", line 236, in <module> plistFile = open("./boot/mnt/EFI/OC/config.plist","r") ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './boot/mnt/EFI/OC/config.plist'
When I use the extras/2. OpenCore Configuration Assistant... to effectively mount the OpenCore partition I find it empty (maybe it is supposed to be empty, but I was expecting some EFI stuff at least, am I wrong ?)

Actually it is not totally empty, there is an empty ESP folder, and when I say empty, there is no hidden files after ls -al

Reproduce the Issue

Launch ./main.py from the repo's root

Type E (for extras)
Type 3 (for macOS Boot Argument Editor...)
Type 2 (for View or Change...)

Expectation

I was expecting to see another menu with an input to give the updated boot arguments

Additional Information

I followed your advice and took on the following tutorial since I am planning to do GPU Passthrough : https://gitlab.com/DarknessRafix/macosvmgpupass

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

fahedmahidi · 2024-08-13T13:43:26Z

Allow me to add here some messages appearing (but passed by the tool so I was only seeing the last error) :

umount: boot/mnt: not found
rmmod: ERROR: Module nbd is in use

   ⚠ SUPERUSER PRIVILEGES
   To mount the OpenCore image,
   the script needs superuser to continue.

   Press CTRL+C to cancel.

Hi,

this is currently a known issue and is being investigated. I’ve been doing some triage with other users on discord on this very issue. The config.plist in question does exist and is inside the OpenCore.qcow2 image, which NBD attempts to mount but seems to fail for some people.

Thank you for your extra input, and I appreciate your patience with this issue.

Best regards

fahedmahidi · 2024-08-13T15:08:11Z

Thanks for your quick feedback. How couldn´t I be patient ? You made me save hours already with your script.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

I read you mentioned a Discord, is it a public server ?

Coopydood · 2024-08-13T15:11:24Z

I really appreciate the feedback, that’s nice to hear.

As for the discord, it is public and you can join if you want to, but no pressure. Just might be useful for some hands-on support if you need it as it’s much quicker for us to help.

Cheers

It seems there's something wrong when mounting image. But instead mount/edit, can we try to rebuild image? The problem is there are some files missing and I'm not able to build it.

Hopefully the issue is rectified through this fix on dev.

Feel free to try it early. You can do so with this command and that will fast forward you onto the dev branch.

./scripts/repo-update.py --force --targetBranch dev

Many thanks for your patience

KlausMu · 2024-11-26T10:25:13Z

Unfortunately, the problem still exists. Both in branch main and dev (both have the commit which is linked in the previous post).

As a workaround, I commented in script /scripts/extras/boot-args.py the following calls:

os.system("./scripts/hyperchromiac/nbdassistant.py -m -q")
os.system("./scripts/hyperchromiac/nbdassistant.py -u -q")

and did the necessary commands manually.
Before calling ./main.py:

sudo modprobe nbd
sudo qemu-nbd --connect=/dev/nbd0 boot/OpenCore.qcow2
mkdir -p boot/mnt
sudo mount /dev/nbd0p1 boot/mnt -o uid=$UID,gid=$(id -g)

After ./main.py:

sudo umount -R boot/mnt
sudo qemu-nbd --disconnect /dev/nbd0 2>&1 >/dev/null
sudo rmmod nbd
