Hi all,

I got error:

Alexs-iMac:webdriver.sh-master alexp$ sudo sh webdriver.sh https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/378/WebDriver-378.10.10.10.25.103.pkg
webdriver.sh: line 30: syntax error near unexpected token `('
webdriver.sh: line 30: `$grep -qiE -e "nvdastartupweb.*allowed" <(/usr/sbin/ioreg -p IODeviceTree -c IOService -k boot-log -d 1 -r \'

I even tried to fix the script but no luck. Could you help me please?

Thank you!

The github repo is a homebrew package - the easiest way to use it is most likely with homebrew.

Homebrew installation according to brew.sh:

Bash:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Then install webdriver.sh:

Bash:

brew tap vulgo/repo && brew install webdriver.sh

After installing, command webdriver should be available. e.g. webdriver help

Bash:

webdriver -u https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/378/WebDriver-378.10.10.10.25.103.pkg

or to choose from a list

Code:

webdriver list

Docs: webdriver.sh/README.md at master · vulgo/webdriver.sh · GitHub

Uninstall: brew remove --force webdriver.sh

Thank you for clear answer.

I successfully installed homebrew, but on installation of webdriver.sh got error 'no file/directory' (EFI part. was connected). I suppose that webdriver.sh wasn't installed because of it. Command 'webdriver' not responding.

Could you please help me to solve that error?

Thanks, have just pushed an update that hopefully fixes this error.

Bash:

brew update
brew install webdriver.sh

I get an error:

webdriver.sh: line 44: syntax error near unexpected token `('
webdriver.sh: line 44: `$grep -qiE -e "status: disabled|signing: disabled" <(/usr/bin/csrutil status) && KEXT_ALLOWED=true'

Experienced the same issue, I guess vulgo changed something in the code. You can use an older version from 07. Feb. 18 which works fine for our purpose. After downloading the folder you can either rename the directory to "webdriver.sh-master" or change the terminal commands according to the cryptical folder name "web driver.sh-b2ed1d6605d13e30bb5bb0e59ae87cd395cfe34f".

iLikeHackintosh · Mar 6, 2018

I solved issue with webdriver.sh: line 44: syntax error by using the brew to install webdriver as instructed on post #25.

The main question is, are drivers loaded at all!!

If you open System Preferences and NVIDIA Driver Manager tab, it shows which drivers are used.

Please note that their might be other issues, which can affect you hack, caused by bad configuration of hack. Please note that this thread is not for solving issues of your hack but about installing web driver.sh. You shall create separate post for other issues! Do not turn threads to trashcans by posting offtopic.

I can reproduce this error using sudo sh to run the script. On macOS /bin/sh is bash, the same version as at /bin/bash - so the result should be the same. However instead we get: EDIT:

gnu.org

Code:

which sh
/bin/sh
sudo /bin/sh ./webdriver.sh

webdriver.sh: line 44: syntax error

Code:

sudo /bin/bash ./webdriver.sh

No error

In any case there is no need to specify an interpreter - the script already specifies /bin/bash. The following will work fine, recent versions will re-run themselves with sudo if it is left out:

Code:

sudo ./webdriver.sh

@Hackintosher - this command will download 1.3 + supporting files for use without Homebrew: source <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vulgo/webdriver.sh/v1.3.0/get) other commands are unchanged sudo ./webdriver.sh -u https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/378/WebDriver-378.10.10.10.25.103.pkg

Thank you for response. Anyway, I solved issue by installing webdriver via homebrew. But nice to know that issue is solved.

But I got a question, which is the best driver for 10.13.3 (17D102)? If I install the drive that NVIDIA suggest, I get black screen. If I install older driver, everything seems to work fine.

vulgo · Mar 6, 2018

iLikeHackintosh said:

I have been using .158 on 17D102 for some time without problems - Skylake and newer boards have had issues with versions after .106 - I'd expect black screen issues to be caused by macOS, but if you have removed/re-installed a few times with the same driver i suppose it could be caused by the web drivers . Just updated to .160 same as before no issues for me at least.

Code:

https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/387/WebDriver-387.10.10.10.25.158.pkg

Code:

https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/387/WebDriver-387.10.10.10.25.160.pkg

iLikeHackintosh · Mar 6, 2018

Thank you for response, I installed 387.10.10.10.25.106, thats worded fine . I had to downgrade from 387.10.10.10.25.161 to get driver to work. Have not tested 387.10.10.10.25.158. "webdriver --list" doesn't offer it.

iLikeHackintosh · Mar 6, 2018

will try

Code:

webdriver -u https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/387/WebDriver-387.10.10.10.25.158.pkg

iLikeHackintosh · Mar 6, 2018

tested 158, does not work on my comp.

vulgo · Mar 7, 2018

iLikeHackintosh said:

Nor do NVIDIA, it's all about 161...

iLikeHackintosh said:

No 387.10.10.10.25.xxx build has worked universally. I feel the releases are tied more to package/macOS changes than changes in the driver, like there's a development team working on the drivers for all platforms, meanwhile someone else does the releasing for mac as and when, so not all releases bring changes. 10.13.4 might bring a more recent version with fixes.

iLikeHackintosh · Mar 7, 2018

Inspiringly, when I install those latest drivers I have black screens but monitor stays active. Not sure about all technical aspects but looks like it outputting some "black picture". Didn't got time to do some debugging by trying to connect from another machine. But it's probably worth to figure out what causes black screen.

I get this error when I try to install WEB drivers:

"webdriver.sh: line 44: syntax error near unexpected token `('
webdriver.sh: line 44: `$grep -qiE -e "status: disabled|signing: disabled" <(/usr/bin/csrutil status) && KEXT_ALLOWED=true'
Miikkas-iMac:webdriver.sh-master miikka$ sudo sh webdriver.sh -u https://images.nvidia.com/mac/pkg/378/WebDriver-378.10.10.10.25.103.pkg
webdriver.sh: line 44: syntax error near unexpected token `('
webdriver.sh: line 44: `$grep -qiE -e "status: disabled|signing: disabled" <(/usr/bin/csrutil status) && KEXT_ALLOWED=true'"

I have checked and confirmed that SIP is disabled.
