Error message that seems random and without ill effect

[jahwookie]

Actually everything is running very well in Big Sur land. Since plugging in the newest EFI, however, I noticed during log-in, just above the Aorus logo, some copy that comes and goes too quickly to read. Finally got curious enough to put my phone in video mode and record the transition so I could freeze frame it after.

Message reads: OCS: Failed to calculate size of false field containing as type integer, context PlayChime

Any idea what the system is on about here? Is it something I should attend to? Thanks & happy holidays!

Sorry @jahwookie I thought I had already gotten back to you. Yeah, I've seen that as well. Normally that's just a warning that something in the config.plist is not quite right, but I haven't gotten around to looking at it since it doesn't really affect performance at all.

I will get to it eventually, but if you want to figure out where in the config.plist is causing this and make a merge request, i'd be happy to accept :)

No, that's all right. You can close this (if it's open). Might be a learning experience for me to do that snipe hunt. Have a happy new year!

I'll keep it open as a reminder for myself, no worries.

Great. I'll let you know if I discover anything, though you'll probably beat me to it!

Something a search took me to on Reddit. Maybe related?

I just had to fix this and it's in my head so here's some details....

config.plist/uefi/audio/playchime

boolean to string

acceptables values: Auto, Enabled, Disabled

auto basically enables the chime if nvram is missing the startup mute variable, the others are unconditional

Well, looks like this is an easy fix then! Thanks for digging into this.

@jahwookie Happy to say I finally fixed this :) Closing
