I'm so over literally everything in this (P)OS being broken in new and hilarious ways, so I'm going back to Mojave. Hopefully, my TM backup still works.

Yeah I’m not experiencing horrible issues but it’s a pretty shoddy release quality wise. Combined with the weirdness iPadOS has introduced I feel like neither of these were ready for prime time.

IUG posted:I fixed this last night, except for the playlists thing. I had to move my album artwork folder out of the iTunes library, and let Music just get the album artwork from the server again. I have a 4GB folder (yikes) to go through for any of the album art that is missing, which is like 1,400 tracks out of the 13,000. If it makes you feel better, music syncing works way better than podcast syncing. And at least you can still edit music playlists. ---- So can anyone explain to me (it sounds like I'm being rude or sarcastic here but I'm genuinely curious) why Audacity can't update to allow microphone access in Catalina. How does it break open source licenses? Is this something I'm just better off assuming won't be fixed within a week or two?

They have a workaround here: https://www.audacityteam.org/macos-10-15-catalina-is-not-yet-supported-by-audacity/ Seems like the problem is that macos requires you to give permission for mic access, but it doesn't pop up the permission dialog for some reason. No idea what they mean about the license. I haven't seen any other gpl projects complaining about it. E: seems like the licensing problem is that on Catalina Apple requires apps to be notarized to run with gatekeeper enabled. If they distribute a notarized version then it is a possible gpl violation because a user, on their own, isn't able to repeat the whole build process. The worst that would happen here is that they will distribute a non-notarized version and tell people to turn off gatekeeper to run it. Rahu fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Oct 14, 2019 |

That does actually make sense. And thanks for that workaround. I really need to get off of the giant Garageband mp3s. I guess I have heard a lot of FOSS people complaining about the change so I should've guessed it was that. I honestly think most of these security changes are ultimately good but I do get where people are coming from. Rick fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Oct 14, 2019 |

I agree with tightening up the security, but don’t think it was necessary for the system to swing between the extremes of either overbearingly prompting you to allow things to work, or just failing silently. In a lot of the cases I’ve had of stuff not working eg. the mouse wheel and side buttons, you can see the events being raised by the hardware in the console logs, but then getting denied by the system, this is despite the Logitech apps being allowed access in the security preferences, and without any clear idea of how to fix it because it isn’t raising a prompt. Anyway, Mojave has been reinstalled and I’m now restoring from last weeks TM backup, only ~8 hours left

Is it possible, using Parallels or VMware Fusion (or any other program), to mount an existing install of macOS to run in a Virtual Machine? It can do it with Windows and BootCamp, but I cannot see anyway in Parallels to do it with macOS installs. If those programs cannot directly access a macOS volume, is there a way to abstract/emulate a volume as a local .hdd or vmdk file?

I want to be able to boot into Catalina and load Mojave in a VM (just like I can already do with Windows).

On top of that, I get this matters to few people, but legacy ipods can have podcasts synced to them, but since you can no longer edit podcast playlists anywhere on mac, you can't change what is synced, it's either your whole library or nothing.

As my companies Mac admin : *incoherent screaming * Locked down Catalina about 5 minutes after the announcement. No one got it thank God. I installed it on my daily driver and now every package I build to throw into jamf is failing for various reasons. They're patching out environment this weekend so hopefully my poo poo will be less broken. I don't have any Mojave boot sticks because imaging is dead right guys. Anyway. gently caress. Have 3 user upgrades next week that I need to reimage. Packaged in sccm today and was literally happy at how straight forward it was. Anyway. gently caress apple into the God drat sun what the actual gently caress is wrong with them. I want them to fix the apple ID issue so I haven't fixed it for myself because I'm curious if they will bug fix it themselves.

silicone thrills posted:As my companies Mac admin : *incoherent screaming * How are you uploading packages? Right through Jamf Pro? I have them bomb out sometimes when using Safari, but not when using Chrome. As for imaging, what's on them now? There's a few ways you can do an update. I have a policy setup in Jamf to download 10.14 and do an upgrade install. I also have a policy that downloads it and then reboots-->wipes drive-->installs OS. If I don't want to fuss with Jamf, I just download Mojave right on the computer and then run a terminal command that reboots-->wipes-->installs OS. Any other Jamf dudes on here? I wouldn't mind having some people to bounce ideas off of.

Jose Oquendo posted:How are you uploading packages? Right through Jamf Pro? I have them bomb out sometimes when using Safari, but not when using Chrome. Only way to upload when you have cloud is through pro. to be fair - its only happening to my rebuilds of cisco anyconnect 4.8 (64bit release) and vmware 11.5 fusion. I used autopkg to build firefox 69.0.03 and it was fine. That said - tried chmoding to 755, tried reuploading, tried chmod before and after I used composer. Tried to pull poo poo apart in pacifist. I think its because i'm on a catalina box at this point. I need to grab a mojave machine and copy my set up over and try it there. Problem is that we just had amass layoff at my job and i'm dealing with that aftermath so just wasn't ready for this poo poo to throw itself at me right now. Imaging: We've just been doing internet recovery because we're a smaller company and we may as well do things the way apple says they are supposes to be done. I've built the jamf one button wipe before but I didn't ever bother with mojave because I didn't need it all last year. Internet recovery took about the same amount of time usually. I was super frustrated last night about poo poo. I'll build out my mojave one button again. The only thing I hate is that you have to precache it on anything you want to run it on and my users are literally all mobile and designers and are idiots who fill up their hard drive and I already have to repeatedly remind them to make room for basic things so when I was building the one button it was failing alot due to lack of space. But I guess now I have 1/3rd less machines to track.

My experience is SOOOOO different from anyone else's, but so far I like Catalina better than Mojave. Everything I do works perfectly in Catalina. From hardware to Homebrew to my "not-certified" system backup program. But Mojave? Apple (or Intel) broke something with the GPU driver in Mojave (it works fine in High Sierra and Catalina), resulting in weird graphic corruption in Finder when you disable transparency. For performance reasons, I usually keep transparency off. With each Mojave update, Apple failed to fix the issue. They fixed it in Catalina, but simply didn't bother in Mojave. Every day I was reminded about how Apple simply didn't care. I can post screenshots, if someone wants to see the issue. I'd love to hear of a fix. I still have Mojave installed for dual-booting, but I might just kill it and keep High Sierra for dual-boot, instead. Edit, some more on this. I just took this screenshot showing a dotted/dashed line. It fades/flickers in and out, and moves up/down when resizing the window:  Others posting about it:
Another screenshot showing the dashed line and color discoloration that sometimes happens.  It shows up in any 2+ pane windows. It was bugged in 10.13.0, and wasn't fixed in 10.13.1, 10.13.2, 10.13.3, 10.13.4, 10.13.5, or 10.13.6. But it was fixed in the 10.14 Catalina builds. Basically, that was my Mojave experience. Weird graphic glitches for the past year. Other than some slow unlocks, Catalina has worked fine for me. I made sure back in High Sierra that all my apps are 64-bit (or that I had a work-around plan with dual-booting or VMs), I've moved my custom shell stuff over to .zshrc, and I'm sorta getting use to the /System/Volumes/Data thing.

In the last two weeks or however long since I upgraded to Catalina I have found 5 of my tracks of music have now duplicated the last 10-60 seconds of the track at the end of the file. If I look at the files in Audacity, then it shows that the file has been altered. For one of my tracks, I found that Ok Go's "Hungry Ghosts" entire album was modified on Oct 19th. It seems that whole album has the tracks suffering from the last minute being repeated in every track. In this case it seems my Time Machine backups are from before that date, so I restored them. Before Catalina this has happened maybe 3-5 times. Now I'm finding a new track nearly every day that has been effected.

I tried to gift my old 2012 Mac Mini i7 to my dad today and Catalina upgrade seemed to go ok, but no matter what I did I couldn’t get it to log into his AppleID. It would just show spinner where it should be prompting for his 2FA code (which, incidentally, Apple DID send to his sms) but then it would pop up something about an unexpected error and take him back to the login section. I tried everything I could think of, but eventually what seemingly fixed it was to reset the PRAM. I don’t even know wtf it would be storing in PRAM to make it gently caress up that badly. I have a lot of issues with Catalina, iOS13, and the general direction that everything is heading, but when I look at the alternative I feel like there no real choice but to take whatever Apple is dishing out because it’s still the least unbearable option (IMO). Not a great look, but here we are.

I think it's something to do with syncing the files, as I'm not an Apple Music user. It's screwing up the transfer or something. The worst part is that I don't know a way to detect which tracks are effected unless I'm listening to them.
