10.12.4 Dev beta 1 bugs

[Spytap]

you're on a jet, and you can't get a text message. right. what does this have to do with anything? this is not about the os beta, but about you not getting a text... on a flight. i feel for the gmail users having an issue; but that has nothing to do with the moment you're having....

The bug makes you have to enter your account password every 2 or 3 hours. If you have 2 factor on, it also requires you received and then enter a code sent via text. So I get on the flight and start to work and my mail app stops sending or receiving emails. This has everything to do with the issue because my email is currently unavailable because the bug forces these constant password issues.

fair enough (but obvious that you shouldn't expect texts on a plane; snakes, maybe, just not texts)...

Nightshift bug still persist on dev beta 2.

Installed 10.12.4 Beta 1 this morning.

WindowsServer which is the service for applications to use the graphics card has extremely high CPU usage when you run Parallels.

This causes parallels to lag extremely bad, and while Parallels is running, OSX runs extremely bad. 2015 rMBP.

Quitting Parallels immediately brings the performance back, lovely.

I seem to be getting kernel panics for the first time on any of the Developer Releases of Sierra (
16E154a).
Seems that its associated to the WindowServer and the new Nvidia drivers that they've updated to.
Mind you I have a 2010 Mac Mini. I've never ever have gotten a kernel panic on this machine.
I may have to do a clean install, the kernel panics are persistent. I might go back to 10.12.3

Boot args: b"

This catches my attention as something seemingly non-standard.
You might clear that out and see if the problem persists. That's done with:

sudo nvram boot-args=""

in terminal.
Does the panic still happen with a safe boot?

I'll have to try that when I get home, at work atm. But the kernel panic has happened more than 8 times now. I have the reports for them in Console. I reset the SMC, NVRAM and attempted safe mode ...still happens, already messaged a friend that works at Apple about along with submitting a Bug on the official bug reporter on the Developer.Apple.com site.

13" Macbook Air, 2012, i5, 4GB RAM running OS 10.12.4 beta 2. Night Shift does not appear in the Notifications menu or in the Preferences - Display menu.

Is it not available on certain hardware?

 

[kecinzer]

Nightshift kernel_task bug still appears in dev beta 3 .
