smb big sur

I'm trying to debug a kernel extension on Big Sur (xnu-7195.0.0.141.5). In the past, I've successfully used kdp-remote from lldb to attach to the crashed kernel and debug it. However, this doesn't seem to be working on Big Sur. The serial console of the crashed machine shows: ethernet MAC address: 00:0c:29:43:dd:b5 ip address: 192.168.1.250 Waiting for remote debugger connection. as expected, but there's no response to packets sent to that address by lldb. Is this working for anyone else? Thanks, Simon

Still cannot connect an external monitor after upgrading to Big Sur using a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. I've combed the web far and wide but have seen no solutions to this specific issue on Big Sur 11.2.3. My job is very hard to do without an external monitor 😅

Hi I'm developing USB network driver with NetworkingDriverKit. develop environment MacOS 10.15.4 XCode 11.6 My USB Networking Driver works fine in MacOS 10.15. But in MacOS 11(Big Sur) GetDataLength method in IOUserNetworkPacket class always failed with kIOReturnBadArgument . IOUserNetworkPacket get from txSubmissionQueue. GetDataLength Document link : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkingdriverkit/iousernetworkpacket/3294975-getdatalength And my code similar below IOUserNetworkPacket *packet; uint32_t packetLength = 0; ret = txSubmissionQueue->DequeuePacket(&packet);- if success ret = packet->GetDataLength(&packetLength); // ret always kIOReturnBadArgument in Big Sur Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this?

After installing Big Sur Beta 1, a Time Machine dialog popped up that I thought I ignored. Later I see that it backed up my iMac onto a volume called TimeMachine Backup (which is not the name of my main TM Backup so I felt this was fine). Today I actually started to look at what was happening. Big Sur renamed my TM Volume from the previous name to this TimeMachine Backup and has intermingled it's backup files with my previous Catalina ones. Quick note about my setup. I'm running Catalina on a stock SSD in the iMac. I have a USB enclosure with 4 HDs in it. One of the 4 drives is dedicated to TM Backups. I partitioned that drive to install Big Sur onto. So I run Big Sur from a 100GB Partition on this 4TB drive. Is there any way to: Break this intermingling or do I just erase the backup and have it start again from Catalina? Is TM smart enough to know which files belong to which backup OS? I booted into Catalina today and see that it thinks

my MacBook is on 10.15.6 beta, I already tried before but it froze and I had no choice so I reset and restart my Mac from high Sierra and now I'm on 10.15.6 again, but this time, it doesn't show Big Sur update. help!!

After updating to big sur I've noticed that there are some cases where ui elements get automatically selected (focused?) in my MacCatalyst app. This is problematic for me in a couple of cases where there is app logic that gets triggered when a textview is initially selected and calls didBeginEditing. The two areas where it seems prevalent are: dismissing modal views and reloading tables. I've poked around into the focus engine and tried to extend textviews to not be focusable to no avail. Anyone else seeing this problem?

I've tried to install Big Sur, in a separate volume APFS, but the Mac go in boot loop for entire night. I've tried many times, but it's impossible to solve. Then I've create a bootable usb with Big Sur, by terminal, and the problem to install the OS is, permission denied. In the last, I've installed a new copy of Catalina in a new Volume, and I've tried to update to Big Sir by beta profile procedure. And the Mac go in boot loop again . Please help !!! 😭

I recently installed the Big Sur beta on my 2019 16 Macbook Pro. I tried to run Parallels, only to be given a message saying to restart to complete the installation. The trouble is, whether I choose to restart or quit Parallels, the application hangs. If I then restart and try to run it again, I get the same message. I looked at the logs, and it appears that it is failing when trying to load one of its kernel extensions, and then assuming that a restart is needed to enable them. It tries to issue the following command: /usr/bin/kmutil load -p /Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Library/Extensions/10.9/prl_vnic.kext -r /Applications/Parallels Desktop.app/Contents/Library/Extensions/10.9 which fails with the following error: Error: Error Domain=KMErrorDomain Code=1 Kernel request failed: (libkern/kext) kext (kmod) start/stop routine failed UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Kernel request failed: (libkern/kext) kext (kmod) start/stop routine failed} Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi, I recently updated to the Big Sur beta and noticed the control center isn't in the top right corner like in the demos, pictures, etc. Instead there is a spotlight icon that won't go away even when I turn it off in the menu bar settings. Is anyone else getting this error and if so has anyone resolved it? I understand this is a beta, but this doesn't seem to be an error that is prevalent in the other systems that upgraded. Thanks.

I have just updated my MBP from Big Sur Beta 2 to Big Sur Beta 3 (11.0), but when I try to log in, the screen goes black a couple of seconds, and I am presented with another login screen, where I have to type in my username and password. When I do that, the screen goes black again for a couple of seconds, and the log in screen reappears. I have tried to run in recovery mode, but that just gives a black screen after login, and never gets any further. I have tried to reinstall Big Sur Beta 3, but with the same result. I have reset NVRAM with same result. I have run out of things to try and really need some help

After downloading/installing the Beta Access Utility, the Big Sur update won't show up in the software update panel. Instead of saying that my computer is up to date, the software update panel says Unable to check for updates. Make sure you are connected to the internet. However I am connected. The update has not shown up after restarting my computer either, like the installation notes suggest. I have a Macbook Pro A1502 (Early 2015). Thanks for your help!

OS11 Big Sur Updated System Extensions Blocked. I click allow and check the items (have tried individually and all at once) it then ask to restart but all of them show back up as needed to allow in system security preferences.

Everything was fine till Apple dumped this half baked Big Sur on me. Now I cannot Print! Apple is playing Ostrich here by pretending not to see this problem even though users have been complaining. Do something Apple!

Hi! I just updated my Macbook Pro 2017(with Touchbar) to Big Sur 11.3 and I cannot adjust the brightness of my screen. The slider in the touchbar moves but does nothing, and the slider in the control panel is grayed out. Please help!

Hi, Where did the coloured flags go in new apple mail with Big Sur. Nice look, no flags appear in my view of my email in box. I can see the folder, I see them in the flagged folder but no flag or colours.
