After security update 2021-007 for catalina MAMP isn't working, Graphics kernel error: 0xfffffffb

I have Pacifist, I think I'll give this a try, I can open the 2021-006 pkg file and it has an option to install selected files on their intended locations. Knowing what to search for, I found 1 kext and 3 bundle files related to this video driver so let's see what happens if I ask Pacifist to install just them...

After installing the update, I can no longer run Google Earth, Stellarium, Topaz Video Enhance AI, as well as Street View Google Maps via browser. I purchased my Mac Mini in 2014. It's not super fast like the newer models but it serves my needs. I just filed a support incident with Apple Support.

"in safe mode copy to /System/Library/Extensions you must disable system integrity protection"

Ok, i tried this before, but the OS was instable and very slow...

Could you be more precise ?

First : disable SIP...

Then : extract IntelHD4000 files from SecUpd 2021_006 Catalina dmg ?

Could you list these files precisely ?

I found basically four groups of files associated with IntelHD4000...

Did you copy only theses files ?

See screenshot

Because there are much more Appel Intel Graphic files around...

Then : boot your mac in Safe mode (Press Shift on restart after chime)

Then : copy these files to /System/Library/Extensions

Then : reboot (command - R)

Then : enable SIP protection...

Then : reboot into normal mode with SIP enabled

best regards

Let me start over.

My english is not the best.

My Mac is a Mac mini Late 20212 and after 10.15.7 some apps that I need for work not open anymore.

The console show me Graphics kernel error: 0xfffffffb

Investigating this issue in other forums founded the same error on other Mac OS versions so it worth try.

After disabling SIP and reboot in safe mode

What I done is copy this files and folders inside SecUpd2021-006Catalina.pkg in my /system/Library/Extensions folder.

reenable SIP reboot and everything work fine again.

I´m not an expert. Need to do something to get my Mac working again

Just a workaround: managed to replace AppleIntelHD4000Graphics.kext with the one from previous update (SecUpd2021-006Catalina.dmg) and magically lot of apps are now running fine (google earth, krita, etc etc). You have to extract the driver folder from the update package, then disable SIP, then replace the kext with proper permissions and rebuild the kext cache, then reboot and re-enable SIP if everything works. 14.7.18 below is the old one.

That list is a record of things installed by the user or auto installed by Software Update. You might try sorting the list alphabetically by clicking the “Software Name” column, then look again.

The above is a screen capture of my system.

After installing this security update, Google Earth Pro (and Virtual DJ 8) has stopped working for me as well. In Console I've identified the following Kernel-fault when trying to launch these applications:

void IOAccelContext2::setContextError(uint32_t): stream error found.  token_id was 0x9800 token_size was 0x0008

I just installed the Security Update (which includes firmware updates as well) and then installed Google Earth Pro. It seems to work fine. I am wondering if there is a way to completely uninstall (remove) Google Earth Pro from your Mac and then reinstall it from scratch (download the installer, etc.) and test again?

You can also run Etrecheck, with option turned on to allow full access, paste the output in a response here using the Additional Text button below. It will provide a list of installed software, but it is an anonymous report, no identifying info about you or your location. From the report, someone reading these posts may see something that has caused a conflict.

Specifically, do you have any security software, anti-virus, system protection, VPN, network monitoring, "cleaner" apps, or any "system enhancements" like that installed? These sorts of things can trigger a conflict sometimes when Apple changes its security configuration, which this update certainly has done.

I don't see anything obvious that is problematic in what you have installed -- but someone with more experience than I have might spot something.

Your hard drive is a mechanical hard drive that seems to be working poorly, and your battery is failing. However I don't see why those would cause what you have experienced. I also don't think Boom 3D audio enhancer should be interacting with Google Earth Pro so I don't think that is the issue.

I am having the same issue which trying to run remote control software used with my tech business. Searching for ANY solution right now. This has made my mac effectively, useless for my work... NOT happy right now...

Hallo, Matthias thank you for the attention. May you please advise a path to the right section for opening a ticket. And, also do you think there may be any other way to get this driver fixed in a routine way?

Hi Denz,

I called the local (german) support hotline. Chat is also possible. See 'getsupport.apple.com'

I have my doubts if there will be still another Security Update for Catalina if it is not absolutely necessary. Perhaps a kind of "Device Update" may be possible as well - I'm no Apple insider ;-)

But in my mind and as I understand the root of the problem it's not the applications fault

Interesting in that Safe Mode disables all third party extensions, plugins, etc. It’s just macOS running without any third party stuff to contend with. So at least in your case, the security patch does not seem to be the problem. Many times support will make the suggestion to create another user account and test from that account. If things are okay it means something went off the rails in the main account.

All that has to happen is a single bit getting switched on or off by corruption or a download glitch. Corruption does happen and it can brick even the most cared for installation.

@ikrupp: You're right regarding the recommendations of Apple Support.

I did a fresh install of MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina on a second hard disk - with the same results. After installation of the "Security Update 2021-007 Catalina" OpenGL/WebGL is broken on Intel HD4000 graphics. Not a single piece of additional software was installed nor was the initial admin account modified in any way. It was the most clean (current) Catalina installation one can think of.

For me, my issues finally stopped after going to a backup in Time Machine from September and rebooting that OS from Recovery. Lost some random files but all the crashing and graphics cards issues stopped.
