Display not awakening after Beta El Capitan 15A263e install

Edit at 2:10 pm: I just now looked at Energy Saver Preferences, and Automatic Graphics Switching was checked!! I know I had unchecked it yesterday. Does it check itself on again automatically as a default? I'll see what happens tomorrow. Meanwhile, that may still be the answer to the wake from sleep problem.

--------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, I'm afraid we're back to square one. It froze again.

To recap:

I had run it overnight in Safe Mode and there was no problem turning the MBP on while in Safe Mode.

I then unchecked all the things in Preferences having to do with going to sleep and graphics switching. (Edit--see above comment)

Last night I just left the computer running overnight, monitor plugged in, and this morning it wouldn't turn any display on when I tried, starting at about 8:59 AM. Here is the console report--maybe there will be something in this one. Next step will be to disconnect the external monitor and try it.

Not much there:

• CalendarAgent isn't the issue - it's registering something unconnected.
• The Thunderbolt connection attempts to reset itself to overcome the issue,
• In between there are 3 WindowServer[202] logs that might be beneficial to add to your existing bug report.

The Graphics Switching bug is part of a larger issue with one of the GeForce display drivers bundled with OS X. Your Mac has many display drivers, some of which are basically interchangeable. In safe mode OS X loads display drivers referred to as "classic" - these are less featuresome, but more robust, which is why you don't have this issue in Safe Mode.

The display drivers that OS X loads when booted normally depend on your setup, and the problem appears to be with one or more of the drivers in the GeForceTeslaDriver.bundle. In one case, the only way to get the computer to boot was to remove this bundle. Additionally, one or more drivers in that bundle appears to be the cause of near-daily kernel panics for two or three others on this forum.

And yes, it's quite possible that removing the monitor from the equation, and then restarting your Mac with an NVRAM reset, will work around the issue.

Thanks again, Max. I've resubmitted the bug report to Apple with the console log.

Are you suggesting also that I try removing one or more of the GeForceTesla driver bundles in the System/Library/Extensions directory?

Removing drivers is a last resort. For now, you could try seeing if removing the monitor from the equation, and then restarting your Mac with an NVRAM reset, will work around the issue.

Will do. I'll run it tonight with the monitor plugged in, first making sure that the Automatic Graphics Switching is actually off. If it is off, and the computer still fails to wake tomorrow, then I'll do the PRAM tomorrow after removing the monitor. I don't like the idea in general that an external monitor can't stay plugged in--that should be fixed by Apple if it's the case. I have an up to date Dell P 2415Q 4K monitor. Interestingly, when I first went to the EC Public Preview a month or so ago, I had a lot of difficulty getting the resolution to stay in full 4K mode, with scaling to 1920x1080 at 60 hz, after a normal reboot. It seems to be less problematic now. I reported it through Feedback--maybe they listened.

Removing monitor + NVRAM reset is a method of reverting OS X to the display driver set that would normally be used just for the native screen (this is neither the set employed when the monitor is attached, nor those used in Safe Mode). It's the next step in narrowing down the conditions necessary for the issue to occur.

One thing I'm still not clear on though, is what is causing the display sleep in the first place - I'm assuming that you have Computer Sleep and Display Sleep set to never, and that Power Nap is also de-selected?

My settings under Energy Saver were (are): Auto graphics unchecked, Prevent computer from sleeping automatically checked, Put hard disks to sleep unchecked, Wake for WiFi network access checked, Enable Power Nap unchecked, and set Turn Display off after 10 minutes. There is no slide scale for Computer Sleep, only the Display Off slide scale.

I like the Display Off after 10 minutes (or after some reasonable period) option. If it's there, we should be able to use it, right? But maybe not.

Meanwhile, I went ahead and removed all the Windowserver.***.plist files (2 of them), did the PRAM with the external monitor disconnected, rebooted, and reset the displays, and made sure all the Preferences were set to what I described in the first two paragraphs.

For sure, you need to be able to put your display to sleep or you'll get image burn-in (unless you use a screensaver of course). I just wasn't sure what was causing the non-responsive state that you later discover the system in. Now I understand.

I'll see what happens tonight with the above configuration and monitor plugged in, just letting the MBP sit. If it fails to wake up again, I'll go through the PRAM once again with the monitor unplugged, and see what happens then. A weekend project of sorts.

With the configuration unchanged from the last post above, and with the external monitor plugged in, no problems this morning awakening the computer from whatever state it was in.

Here's the console log. Start time for wakeup was 8:48.

As with the earlier successful wake log - it's dirty - there's a lot of graphics switching happening:

9/19/15 8:48:15.477 AM WindowServer[225]: Found 1 modes for display 0x003f0041 [1, 0]
9/19/15 8:48:15.512 AM WindowServer[225]: Received display connect changed for display 0x3f003e

indicates switching.

Interesting, because I checked multiple times and automatic graphics switching has stayed unchecked for the last two days.

I did have some problem today getting the 4K monitor settings to stay at full resolution. After a couple of reboots, lid opening and closing, and resetting the Display from default to scaled, etc., I got it all back to where it should be. But this has been an issue with all the EC iterations.

In any case, it does seem that the graphics are unstable, whether it's due to the drivers or whatever. The wakeup problem may have been solved or reduced by unchecking the automatic graphic switching box, but there are still problems to be solved.

Update--

Same configuration as yesterday, no changes in anything, no reboots, and after leaving computer sitting overnight--about 9 1/2 hours, lid closed, with external monitor plugged in and without turning it off (monitor goes into low power mode), the MBP would not awaken at 9:29:35 AM.

Next step, I suppose, will be to disconnect external monitor and leave MBP on with lid open.

FWIW, here are the console logs.

Schrödinger's OS 😀

Max, that's very funny, because I am at the moment in the middle of a wonderful book, Einstein's Dice and Schrödinger's Cat, by Paul Halpern.

There remain a few major unsolved existential and cosmological issues, including a unified theory of everything that would incorporate quantum theory and relativity, and the mystery of consciousness. To these we should add El Capitan OSX, along with its graphics drivers and switching processes, all of which may be understood by no more than 10 or 12 people in the world, and all presumably located in Cupertino.
