OSX Installer - Device Not Found

Help and Support
#1

Hi there,

The device selection panel is empty when I try and install:

However, I can see the SD card and it’s listed in diskutil:

/dev/disk0 (internal, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER

I am on the latest El Capitan beta 7, so that might be related.

I believe this is a bug with El Capitan. It’s on my todo list and I should get access to an OS X system soon.

Hi! Did you solve it?

Thank you.

#4

We fixed it

But we need a Mac to compile the change. @DBMandrake can hopefully provide us one

It’s a shame no one has stepped up and offered the community a Mac to test with via SSH yet.

Hello from Paris, France.
Just to confirm the issue under El Capitan and a MacbookPro mid-2009.
All the best.

Progress at last

How can I help you, @sam_nazarko?

Hi

We need a Jenkins slave for OS X so I can build the new installer periodically.

A couple of OSMC devs have Macs, but they’re not on the latest version of OS X which makes things tricky.

I have already fixed this issue, I just need to compile it. Without Qt 5 and El Capitan at hand, I’m having trouble doing this!

I’m sure we’ll sort things out soon, but for now I appreciate your patience!

Hi there @sam_nazarko ,

I can provide my Machine as a resource to build. How can we arrange to compile and upload the fix for El Capitan?

Thanks!

#9

The fixed version is already on the website.

Hello,

I’m on macos Sierra beta 10.12 and I think I have the same problem, no SD card is detected by your tool

I can do compilation in case you need it.

thank you

Testing OS X installer

You need Qt to build the installer. You can find the source and a build script here:

I don’t have a Mac, and I’m getting sick of our installer breaking every OS X version :confused:. It’s probably just a parsing bug and we need to check for OS X version.

I can find the QT framework in free edition ?
or do you have a method to burn image disk on a SD card by myself ?

#13

Just download open source Qt

This may also help us fix the problem:

  • Plug SD card in and post the output of the following command from Terminal:

diskutil
