DSDT simple editor V1.4.3 (DSDT manual compare option)

Filed under: EvOSoft

19 Agosto 2009

Aqui os dejo una aplicación desarrolada por nuestro team para editar código DSDT.

No es un parcheador automático, contiene las herramientas, fixes y hacks para que os resulte más comodo el trabajo en el DSDT.

La aplicación contiene una ayuda contextual y ayuda de uso.

Grácias:

A real software por su magnifico foro de desarrollo.
A fassl por su código de extracción del DSDT del registro de Osx.
A la comunidad linux por sus fixes durante estos años en el DSDT. (Todos los incluidos en “DSDT fixes”).
A la comunidad Osx86 por sus hacks para hacer mas compatibles nuestros ordenadores. (Todos los incluidos en “DSDT hacks”).
Al equipo Evosx86 por su confianza y tests en este trabajo.

DSE Version 1.0

DSDTSE V1.1 (ES) (La versión 1.3.0 ya es EN/ES)

English:

DSDTSE is a simple editor aimed to help you solve your DSDT problems and add common hacks to it.

It will not do automatic patching , you have to manually add the fixes or hacks so a minimun skill is needed (normal skill should be ok to begin with).

Thanks to Fassl for the DSDT extraction method under Osx.

Thanks to the Linux community for their DSDT fixes all this years (all the ones included under “dsdt_fixes”).

Thanks to the Osx86 community for their DSDT hacks (all the ones included under “dsdt_hacks”).

Thank you very much for the effort involved in making & continuing to develop this tool then being kind enough to translate it into (rather good) English.

I ran DSDTSE in Snow 1.6.1 but with this error

An Exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down.

Try this: (issue and fix found by spitz)

Just make sure that the folder DSDT exists in /Library and you have permissions to write to it.

These 2 commands are to be executed in the Terminal:

sudo mkdir /Library/DSDT/
sudo chown -R `id -un` /Library/DSDT

As of v1.3.0, the commands to execute in Terminal are:

sudo mkdir “/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware”
sudo chown -R `id -un` “/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware”

Hello all,
installed DSDTSE v1.3.6 (unzipped to desktop)
but got error:
Exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down.

Read the posts above but not sure whether:
a)
sudo mkdir “/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware”
sudo chown -R :staff “/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware”

where you replace with your username

b)
sudo mkdir “/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware”
sudo chown -R root:admin “/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware”

c)
sudo mkdir “/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware”
sudo chown -R root:wheel “/Library/Application Support/EvOSoftware”

Should the directory be
EvOSoftware or EvOsoftware?

Should I change permissions of dir EvOSoftware (or EvOsoftware):

sudo chmod -R 755 /EvOSoftware??

Should I change also permissions of DSDTSE.app on Desktop?
Thanks and regards,

Hi.
Folder´s name is: EvOSoftware

Ok, give us some time (1 hour) to upload a new version with a different method to create App folders.

Download the app again, erase any EvOSoftware folder you may have created.
Be sure you are not using a blank password.

Also, remember the folder is not created under:

user/Library/application support/EvOSoftware.
but
volumes/systemvolume/Library/application support/EvOSoftware.

If you continue having problems please post them here.

It´s time to move everything to user´s folders instead system folders.
Give us some little more time to do all the changes on code.
Thanks.

Hmm same error:

1.Logged on as bozon42 with Admin privileges
2.Unzipped your zipfile on the desktop and
in Terminal i run:

cd /Volumes/Leo/Library/Application Support
sudo mkdir EvOSoftware
cd EvOSoftware
sudo cp -R ~/Desktop/DSDTSE.app .
cd ..
sudo chown -R root:admin EvOSoftware/
sudo chmod -R 755 EvOSoftware/
cd EvOSoftware/
open DSDTSE.app

gives me error:
Exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down.

What am I doing wrong?

Note:
When I cd to EvOSoftware and create
DSDT directory:

sudo mkdir DSDT
cd ..
sudo chown -R root:admin EvOSoftware/
sudo chmod -R 755 EvOSoftware/
cd EvOSoftware/
open DSDTSE.app then it opens it – but still gives error as before:
Exception of class NilObjectException was not handled. The application must shut down.

PS: Does safe boot have impact on it?

Forget this folder actions and erase the EvOSoftware folder, in a little time we will release a new version wich will setup all folders on user library.

ETA: 4 hours from now.

Ok, try this beta from DSDTSE, now all files will be placed under your Home folder/Library/Application support/EvOSoftware.
The application should do everything for you, just test and report please.

Hello,
did the following:
unzip DSDTSE.zip as user on the desktop
in terminal:
cd ~
mkdir EvOSoftware
cd EvOSoftware
cp ~/Desktop/DSDTSE.app .
cd ..
sudo chown -R bozon42:staff EvOSoftware
sudo chmod -R 755 EvOSoftware

Then: cd EvOSoftware
open DSDTSE.app <–it opens the GUI, I selected
different tables and extracted them (DSDT dir with subdirs and files created) but I have same error as before and GUI shuts down.
Regards,
bozon42

I have forgotten one line in the previous mail:

After cd ~
I went to Library/Application support and there I created EvOSoftware directory.

But the test was if the app can create now the folders by itself…

What happends now if you open the app (and there is no EvOSoftware folder created)?.
Just leave the app on your desktop and open it.
