Kernel Extension not loaded after reboot #83

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install NoSleep 1.3.3 on MacOS X 10.6.8. 
2. Reboot the System
3. Dialog pops up on boot "Oops!, NoSleep Kernel Extension is not loaded."

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Displays error message on boot, also displays same error message when accessing 
Preferences dialog.
Tray-Icon is not shown on boot anymore.

It worked right after the installation. After the first reboot i got the 
message about the Kernel Extension.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (latest updates)
NoSleep 1.3.3

Is there any was to manually load the kernel extension, to see if this is still 
possible?

best regards,
 Philip

Hi Philip,

Could you check if the extension exists in: 
/System/Library/Extensions/NoSleep.kext
You can also try to load it manually by: sudo modprobe 
/System/Library/Extensions/NoSleep.kext

Hi Pavel,

Yes it is there. Permissions and ownership seems to be OK too.

cp23-219:~ mp4$ sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/NoSleep.kext -verbose 6
Kext user-space log filter changed from 0xff2 to 0xfff.
Kext kernel-space log filter changed from 0xff2 to 0xfff.
Requesting load of /System/Library/Extensions/NoSleep.kext.
/System/Library/Extensions/NoSleep.kext loaded successfully (or already loaded).
Kext library architecture set to i386.

Now everything works fine again. I was able to start the application and use 
the preferences dialog again.

What now? :)

From my understanding there has to be a load request from the NoSleep 
application to trigger the kext to be loaded. Maybe something is wrong there?

No, actually the kext should be loaded automatically by the system on startup. 
Could you restart and verify that the issue is gone, if no - please attach a 
dmesg output here, it can contain something useful.

no, same issue after reboot.

How do you tell the system to load the kext on startup? From:

https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/KEXTCon
cept/KEXTConceptAnatomy/kext_anatomy.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002364-SW1

i figured it would not be loaded without request.

osx definetely loads kexts from /System/Library/Extensions on boot, even in 
your link there is a statement:

"
If your kext needs to be loaded during boot loading, it must be installed in 
/System/Library/Extensions for the operating system to locate it.
"

I can't see anything relevant in the dmesg log...

To prove that the issue cause is in kext not loading - check the "kextstat" 
after reboot.

Yes, it states "IF it needs to be loaded". I interpret this, as this is the 
location where it looks for it, when it is requested. Since it seems to be 
working for you, i guess my interpretation is wrong.

Fresh reboot, waited 5 minutes, not loaded:

Do you have any 3rd party tools or apps which can prevent non-system kexts from 
loading? Any MacCleaners or similar?

You also can try to update your kernel exts cache. In Snow Leopard it can be 
done by something like this, but be sure what r you doing:

sudo kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m 
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext 
/System/Library/Extensions

--P.

FYI. in a regular case the installer updates cache for you.

Still not loaded. Maybe the kext-loading-behaviour changed with more recent 
MacOS X Versions?

Back in 2007 someone also wrote about this:

I'm having the same issue.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install NoSleep 1.3.3 on MacOS X 10.5.8. (note that I'm on Leopard, not Snow 
Leopard)
2. Reboot the System
3. No extension is loaded, when accessing the pref panel, dialog pops up 
stating "Oops!, NoSleep Kernel Extension is not loaded."

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Error message when accessing Preferences dialog. No error message obviously 
displayed on boot.
Tray-Icon is not shown on boot anymore.

It did not work right after the installation.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (latest updates)
NoSleep 1.3.3

Hopefully this helps...

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/NoSleep.kext
28com_protech_nosleepextension is not compatible with its superclass, 
9IOService superclass changed?
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension 
/System/Library/Extensions/NoSleep.kext
link/load failed for extension /System/Library/Extensions/NoSleep.kext
 (run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)

sudo kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/NoSleep.kext
kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/NoSleep.kext has problems:
Validation failures:
{
    "Executable file doesn't contain kernel extension code" = true
}

Maybe the priority should be changed to "HIGH"?

Hi, this might help.

When I did the automatic update from 1.3.3 to 1.4.0, it broke with the "NoSleep 
Kernel Extension is not loaded." message.

I found the old 1.3.3 DMG and tried to install it again. No luck.

Inside the 1.3.3 DMG is an "Unistall.command" script. I ran that, then 
reinstalled 1.3.3. That worked! I was back to running 1.3.3 just fine.

Then, I manually downloaded 1.4.0 and ran its installer manually. Same issue: 
"NoSleep Kernel Extension is not loaded."

I tried both "Uninstall.command" scripts (from 1.3.3 and 1.4.0), followed by 
manual installation of 1.4.0. No dice. Still got, "NoSleep Kernel Extension is 
not loaded."

Finally, I gave up, ran the 1.3.3 "Unistall.command" and reinstalled 1.3.3. 
That worked.

My conclusion: Something in the 1.4.0 installer isn't registering the kext 
extension properly. At least not on Mac OS X 10.8.5. Your best bet is to stick 
with 1.3.3 if 1.4.0 doesn't work for you.

Same issue here, I'm running Yosemite and just tried to update to 1.4 and it 
complained that the kernel extension is not loaded. Reinstalled 1.3.3 and it 
works fine.

Hi chadcf, your issue looks different actually. Could you check issue #148 and 
try attached version.
