Mac

Recently I got an ASUS Radeon RX 580 to replace an NVidia Card I was tired of fighting and trying to make work properly. As it turns out, no video card is very easy to get working with Hackintosh! Anyway, today the problem was after finally getting two monitors working the secondary monitor was booting with a weird rotation and was a pain in the ass to change each time I logged in because the mouse was about 5″ off location on that screen....

This seems to mostly work, but still having some issues keeping it stable. Maybe this will help someone else anyway 🙂 Here’s what I did on Mac OSX Sierra Latest: first: # nano ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.nzbhydra.nzbhydra.plist put this (change path + username): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>Label</key> <string>com.nzbhydra.nzbhydra</string> <key>ProgramArguments</key> <array> <string>/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/NZB-APPS/nzbhydra/run.sh</string> </array> <key>RunAtLoad</key> <true/> <key>KeepAlive</key> <false/> <key>StandardErrorPath</key> <string>/usr/local/var/log/nzbhydra.log</string> <key>StandardOutPath</key> <string>/usr/local/var/log/nzbhydra.log</string> </dict> </plist> make this:...

This is mainly for my archival purposes, but maybe it’ll help someone else. I’ve been running a Hackintosh for over a year now, and I refer to this often when fixing things after an update. Seems to be cool with Mavericks, Yosemite, and now Sierra 🙂 fix for kernel panic on reboot w/ clover – default was intel=true, nvidia=false: You don’t have InjectNVidia =true and Intel=false on you config.plist (??? and removenvda_drv=1....

This past weekend I saw over on /r/unixporn that ricing Mac OSX is a ’thing’. I used to have a lot of fun doing this on my old linux systems when I was a kid, like Enlightenment, Afterstep, Windowmaker, XFCE, and anything else I could customize to look like something from a cool ‘hacker movie’ or something like that. Anyway, this got me inspired to change my desktop into something a little cooler looking than standard OSX and here’s the basic premise of everything I did....
