Chameleon still does not parse SMBIOS.PLIST SMmemory Keys & Strings

Karas,

Very interesting, it works. I always thought the code was ignoring the SM Memory keys & strings, but your build proves that is not the case. Thank you very much for this. Have you tried contacting the devs and raising this as a new feature / bug fix ?

I created a guide for installing Mavericks on Sony Vaio VPCSE here:-

I'd like to include your fix if thats ok ?, I'll be sure to give you the credit for the fix

Thanks Again
Jay

Karas:
I'm glad it worked :). Yeah of course you are free to include it in you guide, i'll be more than happy. About contacting the devs, no unfortunately I haven't had the time for that, I'm new around here, do you know how should I do that? I'm more than willing to help fixing this problem for good :)

Karas,

Thanks i'll update my guide sometime in the next few days.

I think the best thing to do would be to report it on the SVN, If i where you i would create a new issue detailing what your change does, then i would goto the two bug reports and create a comment against them linking back to the new issue you raised. The two existing bug/issues - my bug report is issue # 357 here:-

http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/issues/357/

and the original #122 from a few years back here:

http://forge.voodooprojects.org/p/chameleon/issues/122/

You'll need to apply for SVN access if you don't have it already, If you don't have the time to do that, i'm happy to do it on your behalf if you let me know exactly what you did. Probably best if you send me a Private Message otherwise were going to cause multiple threads if you post it here leading to confusion and out of date changes if it makes it into the trunk build - I'll do my best to make sure it does.

I'll also amend my SVN with your findings, this problem has been an issue for Sony Vaio users for a long time and i know many users who will be thrilled to know there is now a solution.

Cheers
Jay

Nice work Karas,

I've been running your build for a few days now and all seems stable .... in fact it works so well I was able to customise About this Mac. I've posted an addendum to my Sony SE2 Mavericks guide detailing how to use your fix and information on how to customise ATM (System name and picture)

From what you describe (memory table to small) i would have thought that this would effect any system that is trying to  inject memory information via SMmemory keys - not just Sony laptops unless something with the Sony Laptop requires a bigger table than normal ?

If it where me I would attach your code changes to the new issue you raised. That way the devs can easily and quickly see what changes you made and implement them in the next build.  Things seem to move slowly on the SVN with very little acknowledgement, at least thats what I've found. The more info you can give the devs the greater the possibility of getting the fix included in the next build .... just a thought.

Thanks again
Jay
