Problems upgrading to macOS Mojave on MacBook Pro 2018

I decided to wait for a new version of the package.

I’m curious to know how you define “everyone else?”

I still have the issue.

I bought the Mac 4 weeks ago, I don’t know if I have to ask for a swap or just wait for the next version.

I don’t know

Great news, I'll have to look up what that file does and is. This is the4 first time I've heard about it.

I know what LaunchCtl is though.

Nothing. That file does not exist in my Mac.

I still can't update to Mojave

Here

we go for the 5th attempt.

I did have that file and followed your instruction.

Going in will report.

GOOD LUCK! Pickle...it should work!

So, dmauch, is Mojave everything You hoped it would be after finally getting it installed, and using it for some time ?

dmauch

Don"t know where you got the fix but I am replying from my updated MBP after a 35 minute install.

THANKS

Thank you iFrog for the added info.

No sysctl.conf on my system. So I'll wait for 10.14.1 instead. If that doesn't work either, I'll test the Ethernet method.

Make absolutely certain that you use the correct spacing.

ls -l /etc/sysctl.conf

(Notice the space between ls and the -l and between the -l and /etc...)

Yep, I'm a command line native, and the file is not there. Maybe it's detritus from older systems before High Sierra? (High Sierra was the first macOS installed on my i9 MBP.)

Let’s be sure were using l as in a lower case ell and not an upper case i.

Wow iFrog. An interesting piece of detective work that indeed does raise a rather fascinating question. Very odd.
