Cyberdevs Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 I updated my Kaby Lake rig to macOS Sonoma RC and I realized the reason for macOS update to fail was the Screen Saver, during the download and/or installing the update if Screen Saver activates it will result to update to fail. So if anyone else has the same issue you need to disable the Screen Saver during the update process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyberdevs Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 @eSaF The Screen Saver was causing the issue with the previous beta as well but I didn't realize it was the culprit until last night with the RC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show no matter how much we think we know, there always will be something to prove otherwise. Glad you figured it out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eSaF Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Looking forward to the official Sonoma release later today. To be quite honest, I don't think there will be big changes from RC2 as it runs very stable on my system. I am just hoping the OCLP Devs makes the process a more automated installation for Hacks than what we have now. All in all, I am very happy and grateful for what they have given us thus far, so not going to complain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberdevs Posted September 26, 2023 Author Share Posted September 26, 2023 Yeah I’m looking forward to the final release as well but on the OCLP aspect I’m not sure if they will change it much for the hacks since they are much more different than the Macs and there are tons of hardware variations to consider and main goal of OCLP is to support unsupported Macs not hacks using it on hacks is an extra bonus for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
