sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/[yourdriverhere].kext/Contents/Info.plist

sudo nano /Extra/Extensions/[yourdriverhere].kext/Contents/Info.plist

If you need to patch a plugin inside a kext, you would type the same command with a twist:

sudo nano

/System/Library/Extensions/[yourdriverhere].kext/Contents/PlugIns/[yourplugin].kext/Contents/I

nfo.plist

sudo nano

/Extra/Extensions/[yourdriverhere].kext/Contents/PlugIns/[yourplugin].kext/Contents/Info.plist

Under normal conditions what we do when we patch a kext we are inserting your PCI ID into the kext (forinfo on PCI IDs, seethis FAQ)Scroll with the arrow keys and look for IOPCIPrimaryMatch orIOPCINameMatch (If there happens to be a IOPCIClassMatch instead of theother two mentioned above, change IOPCIClassMatch to IOPCIPrimaryMatch). Below it you should see atleast one string of numbers (and letters) preceded by 0x (unless it says IOPCINameMatch; then in thatcase it will say pci instead of 0x). Delete all the strings (including any that say &amp before them) andtype in your ID in the order 0x[deviceID][vendorID] (for IOPCINameMatch, it would be pci[vendorID],[deviceID]). So, for example, if you have an Intel (vendor ID 8086) Ethernet card with the device ID27dc, you would type 0x27dc8086 (or pci8086, 27dc if it is IOPCINameMatch). Once you're done, press

Control-O and then Control-X. Reboot, at the boot prompt type -f, and that should do the trick.

How To Use Single User Mode And How To Use It To

Uninstall Kextsabout:

The following guide will allow you to uninstall a kext using Single User Mode during boot when a kext

that you have recently installed is causing your system to not boot. The installation VodooHDA.kext on

some systems is a example of a kexts that may make your system to not boot.

Method 1: Mac OS X Using Single User Mode

Part 1: What Is Single User Mode

Single User Mode is different from a Safe Mode boot in that the system goes directly to the console

instead of starting up the core elements of Mac OS X (items in /System/Library/, ignoring /Library/,

~/Library/, et al.). From there users are encouraged by a prompt to run fsck or other command line

utilities as needed (or installed).

Part 2: How To Boot Into Single User Mode

1. Record the kext you wish to remove

2. At the boot loader prompt screen type in the following:

-S3. Press Enter

4. After the system loads a blinking cursor will appear. This indicates that you may start typing in

commands.

5. Replace name_of_the_kext.kext with the name of your kext you wish to remove

6. Type the commands below, press enter after finish entering each line:

mount -uw /

cd /System/Library/Extensions

rm -rf name_of_the_kext.kext

sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Caches/*

shutdown -r now

Note Make Sure That The Spaces And Casing In The Text Is Correct

7. The kext should now be removed

Method 2: Using Windows Or Other Operating System

You can remove a kext by using macdrive or other programs which allow you to access the OS Xpartition. All you need to do is just delete the entire folder of the kext. (kexts are displayed as folders onwindows or other OS)

sshQuesta piccola pietra preziosa inclusa in ogni versione di Mac OS X. Inizialmente sviluppata come

rimpiazzo per i comandi rsh/rlogin, ssh diventata il collante della comunit Linux/Unix (e adesso di MacOS X). Lutilizzo principale di Openssh lamministrazione remota in sicurezza. Se volete abilitare ilserver SSH incluso in Mac OS X potete farlo dalle Preferenze di Sistema, cliccate su Condivisione espuntate lopzione Login remoto. Adesso se vi trovate in giro e volete accedere al vostro computer


11/13

potete usare un client come PuTTY (da un sistema windows) oppure sshdal terminale di Mac OS X ecollegarvi allindirizzo IP del vostro Mac. Dopo esservi autenticati con il vostro username e la vostra

password avrete completo accesso alla riga di comando di Mac OS X. Openssh ha molti, molti altri usi ealcuni di questi sono molto avanzati. Il mio preferito usare ssh come un server SOCKS per navigaresicuro in internet quando mi collego da postazioni pubbliche.

topTop unaltrautility classica che stata a lungo usata dalla comunit Linux/Unix. Per usare top, aprite il

terminale e digitate top.In un istante vi troverete di fronte ad una finestra piena di testo. Quello chevedete una lista di ogni processo attualmente in esecuzione sul vostro Macintosh. Quando il mio Mac hadei rallentamenti, top la prima risorsa che utilizzo per controllare quello che sta succedendo.

lsbomlsbom utile per curare quella paranoia che vi assale prima di provare ad installare qualche utility carinache avete trovato su qualche sito internet . Con lsbom potete esaminare il contenuto di un installer MacOS X (i file .pkg) e ottenere una lista molto dettagliata di cosa verr installato sul prezioso filesystem delvostro Mac. Per usare lsbom, aprite il terminale e navigate fino alla posizione in cui si trova il file .pkg. Seil vostro installer si trova in un file .dmg, sar utile copiare il file .pkg sulla scrivania, e successivamentedigitare cd~/Desktop(quel carattere si ottiene con alt+5). Una volta che vi trovate nel punto dove sitrova il file .pkg, digitate lsbomfile.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom|moree vedrete una lista completa dei fileche il vostro nuovo programma intende installare.

sayQuesto comando unico di Mac OS X, ed uno dei pi divertenti. Provatelo aprendo il terminale edigitando sayhello.

softwareupdateIl comando softwareupdate un modo veloce e facile per installare gli aggiornamenti software di Apple.Per usarlo, aprite il terminale e digitate softwareupdate -i -a per installare tutti gli aggiornamentidisponibili per il vostro Macintosh. Se volete installare solamente gli aggiornamenti raccomandatidigitate sofwareupdate-i -r.

ifconfigIl modo pi veloce e facile per verificare quale indirizzo IP il vostro Mac sta usando, decisamenteifconfig. Per usare ifconfig, aprite il terminale e digitate ifconfig. Vedrete una moltitudine di

informazioni, incluso il MAC address della vostra scheda di rete. Io di solito uso ifconfig|grep inetperottenere solo le informazioni relative allIPdel mio computer. Potete disabilitare una interfaccia di rete(ad esempio en0)digitando ifconfigen0 down.Potete riabilitarla con ifconfigen0 up.Questo modo molto pi veloce che usare le preferenze di sistema.

lipolipo una utility che manipola gli universal binary di Mac OS X. Molti (quasi tutti) i programmi adessovengono commercializzati o scaricati come Universal,cio hanno al loro interno codice binario che puessere interpretato sia dai chip PowerPC che dai chip Intel. Ma visto che probabilmente vi interessa solouno dei due, potete usare lipo per snellirei vostri file binari. Per esempio se volete snellire lapplicazioneStickies(promemoria) in modo che contenga solo codice intel (i386) fate cos:cd /Applicationslipo Stickies.app/Contents/MacOS/Stickies -thin i386 -output Stickies.app/Contents/MacOS/Stickies.i386(su ununicariga)cd Stickies.app/Contents/MacOS/rm Stickiesmv Stickies.i386 Stickies

screencapturescreencapture offre un modo pi sofisticato (rispetto a comando-maiusc-3) per fare fotografie alloschermo. Per usarlo, aprite il terminale e provate a digitare screencapture -iW ~/Desktop/screen.jpg.

Apparir liconadi una macchina fotografica che attende di essere cliccata su una finestra. Una volta fattoclic, verr creato un file sulla vostra scrivania chiamato screen.jpg che conterr unimmagine diqualunque finestra abbiate cliccato. Potete ovviamente anche creare unimmagine del vostro interoschermo digitando screencapture-S ~/Desktop/screen.jpg.Se vi sentite particolarmente creativi potetefotografare solo una parte del vostro schermo digitando screencapture-ic.

Let's see some more examples of using the command ' areas.

sshThis little gem is included in every version of Mac OS X. Initially developed as a replacement for

rsh / rlogin, ssh has become the glue of the Linux / Unix ( and now Mac OS X). The main use of

remote administration Openssh is safe . If you want to enable SSH server included in Mac OS X you

can do it from the System Preferences, click on the "Sharing" and check the " Remote Login " . Nowif you're around and want to access your computer , you can use a client such as PuTTY (from a

windows system ) or " ssh " from the terminal in Mac OS X and log the IP address of your Mac

after you log with your username and password you will have full access to the command line in

Mac OS X. Openssh has many, many other uses and some of these are very advanced . My favorite

is to use ssh as a SOCKS server to surf safely on the Internet when I connect from public locations .

topTop utility is another classic that has long been used by the Linux / Unix. To use the top , open the

terminal and type "top" . In an instant, you 'll be presented with a window full of text. What you see

is a list of all processes currently running on your Macintosh . When my Mac slowdowns , top is the

first resource I use to check what 's going on.

lsbom

lsbom is useful to cure the paranoia that attacks you before you try to install some nice utility that

you found on some website . With lsbom you can examine the contents of a Mac OS X installer ( the

. Pkg file ) and get a very detailed list of what will be installed on your Mac's filesystem valuable

lsbom To use , open a terminal and navigate to the location where you find the file . pkg . If your

installer is in a . Dmg file , it will be useful to copy the . Pkg file on your desktop, and then type "cd

~ / Desktop" ( the character you get with alt +5) . Once you are at the point where the file is located

. Pkg , type " lsbom file.pkg / Contents / Archive.bom | more" and you'll see a complete list of files

you want to install your new program .

sayThis command is only for Mac OS X, and is one of the funniest . Try opening a terminal and typing

"say hello" .

softwareupdateThe command " softwareupdate " is a fast and easy way to install software updates from Apple. To

use it, open a terminal and type " softwareupdate -i -a" to install all available updates for your

Mac. If you want to install the updates merely "recommended" type " sofwareupdate -i- r" .

ifconfigThe quickest and easiest way to check what IP address your Mac is using , is definitely " ifconfig" .

To use ifconfig, open the terminal and type " ifconfig" . You will see a multitude of information,

including the MAC address of your network card. I usually use "ifconfig | grep inet " to get only the

information related to the IP of my computer. You can disable a network interface (such as " en0 " )

by typing "ifconfig en0 down" . You can enable it with "ifconfig en0 up" . This way is much faster

than using the system preferences.

lipo

lipo is a utility that manipulates universal binary for Mac OS X. Many (almost all) of the programs

now are sold or transferred as " Universal ", ie they have inside the binary code that can be

interpreted by both the PowerPC chip from Intel . But since you probably only care about one ofthem, you can use lipo to " streamline " your binary files. For example, if you want to streamline

the application " Stickies " (reminder) so that it contains only code intel (i386 ) do this:


13/13

cd / Applications

lipo Stickies.app / Contents / MacOS / Stickies -thin i386 -output

Stickies.app/Contents/MacOS/Stickies.i386 ( on one line)

Stickies.app cd / Contents / MacOS /

rm Stickies

mv Stickies.i386 Stickies

screenCaptureScreenCapture offers a more sophisticated way (as opposed to command - shift -3) to take pictures

of the screen. To use it, open a terminal and try typing " screencapture - iW ~ / Desktop / screen.jpg

." You will see an icon of a camera waiting to be clicked on a window. Once clicked , it will create

a file on your desktop called " screen.jpg " that will contain an image of any window you clicked.

You can of course also create an image of your entire screen by typing " screencapture -S ~ /

Desktop / screen.jpg ." If you are feeling creative you can photograph just a portion of your screen

by typing " screencapture - ic ."
