andradejose Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I recently installed Catalina using the guide from this website. Almost everything works but I noticed some issues. I wasn't sure if I should create three separate threads or keep everything in one. I decided for the latter. Here are the issues: - Disconnecting the laptop from the power source makes it freeze. It needs a hard reboot. - Despite Bluetooth being available and discovering my bluetooth devices, it is not able to connect to them. As a side note, the WiFi is working perfectly. - Despite installing Karabiner-Elements, whenever I press the F11 or F12 keys, the laptop would freeze. It needs a hard reboot. - Connecting laptop to an external display via HDMI works well, when unplugging it the laptop would freeze. It needs a hard reboot. I attached the debug file. Thanks for your help. Debug+IORegistry.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
