Interesting, this is the first time I have had time machine tell me that I am backing up an encrypted drive to a non-encrypted drive.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Seeds Eighth Beta of macOS Mojave to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

I don't think this is a widespread issue.
After reading your post and updating to beta 8, with trepidation I rebooted thinking that this may happen to me too. But it didn't. My computer is fine on this beta and doesn't reboot to black screen.
That's not to say however that it won't affect some other people too. It might.
So maybe you should send apple a bug report.
I am experiencing this as well. Persistence rules the day, but I'm leery of logging out.
No problem on my 2015 rMBP. First startup after install it defaulted to dark mode so I went in and selected light mode, rebooted and light mode was in effect. No blackscreen on reboot. This is on PB7
Still the same issues since beta 1. System Setting freezes and every time a modal window open (eg. at quicktime player to save something) it freezes too. Reported it to Apple since beta 2, but they just closed the issue as they couldn't find anything. Quite annoying issue. Oh and I always have to update via terminal, as the update via system settings freezes
That sounds similar to the issue that I'm experiencing, 2 machines do it, both MacBook Pro Retina mind 2015, same specs
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 - 16GB RAM.
Bug report has been opened, lets hope it's not a major issue.
I'm on the developer beta - may have some differences between the public and developer.
In other news, the other issue that I'm experiencing is with the notification system, and choppy core graphics from wake.
If I leave the lid open and go for lunch, the notification system will still display messages by waking up the screen and then turning it off once it's displayed the messages, this is the advanced notifications system I believe, anyway what I've noticed is that if this happened then the graphics will be extremely choppy and stuttering after waking up, sometimes closing the lid for 5 minutes and waking will resolve, as will a reboot - this has been going on since Beta 1.
Get loads of errors in the console when trying to display things such as the popup folder displays from the dock...

Each Beta build, people keep asking the same question about Mojave, so I’m going to post my experience: Mojave has been the least stable Beta for me. Loud fans, overheating and quick battery drain on MBP 2017 13’. I had to completely roll back to High Sierra. Obviously, the experience will vary from person to person, but if there’s just the slightest possibility to perform bad, don’t install it on your daily drivers. Just wait, the release is maybe a month away from now. I usually wait 3-4 months after release before upgrading macOS, but if you can’t live without Dark Mode, go grab it as soon as the official release is available.
There is a new gatekeeper version 152 which came out the same time as Mojave beta 8.
Sometimes this installs automatically. But if it didn’t you can do it manually via the link here:
http://swcdn.apple.com/content/down...5ce2bki8ekevh6w20tu4/GatekeeperConfigData.pkg
You can check which version you currently have with this terminal command:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print CFBundleShortVersionString" /private/var/db/gkopaque.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
By the way this applies to all systems from Mojave all the way back to Mountain Lion. So even if you are on a much older system you should nevertheless still have an up-to-date gatekeeper.

I have a Radeon 7950 which is supposed to be METAL compatible and works fine in High Sierra, but Mojave install is still a no-go.
Do I have to buy another graphics card? And if so, which one is guaranteed to work? I know RX580, but which brand?

Isn’t APFS encrypted by default? Did you explicitly format it as non-encrypted?
I created a container and formatted APFS (non-encrypted) and clean installed Mojave there.

All good things I am hearing in various threads! Looking forward to downloading it this fall. Dark Mode is going to be great for reading things at night.
my system has detected a windows user disguised as a Mac user
the bloatware word comes from windows 10
it is a tablet or a pc
iOS and Mac OS are not merged
now seriously I respect your opinion , not everybody like the same thing
but I'm sure there are more people that likes Mac OS Mojave dark mode that the ones that don't like it
like you
is not a matter of taste like most people think, some people are just plain bitter and nothing is good for them
maybe you should try windows out, I heard Microsoft uses spyware technology which is awesome
companies don't make software for individuals, they make it for the majority of people
there is no way to completely satisfied a single user because he always going to find something that he doesn't like or he will like to change
the best we can do is configure the system the best we can the way we like it
let me ask you, there is anyway to remove windows 10 tablet components from windows 10 ???
so that way I only end up with a desktop OS and remove all the bloatware
has anyone tried any wacom tablets or astropad with the latest beta? i'm waiting for pressure sensitivity to comeback before i try it again.

I don't believe my card is a Sapphire card, so that might be my problem. Obviously, I will have to find the solution to this elsewhere.
what happen , you can't handle the truth ????
I was respectful maybe a bit to honest but respectful
when you make a comment you know people are going to reply
if you don't like what others write then don't write
I respect your opinion and point of view
I don't agree with you but I respect you
but look at what you said to me
no offense but this what most people do
you give them facts and all they do is they attack you personally
I don't have any personal problem with you
the problem is with Microsoft, we can respectfully disagree
but hey is all good, sorry man but I can't say what you want to hear
Microsoft sucks, windows 10 is a disaster
cheers man, have a good day
I'm not a kid. you just lucky you can't find out what kind of man I am
but I give you a spoiler
don't make me angry
[doublepost=1534960679][/doublepost]
I'm sorry you are right, I called you a windows users and that is a hell of an insult
cmon man
you are attacking iOS and Mac OS on a Mac forum
what do you expect
and just in case I was being sarcastic because that is not an insult
the comment about bitter people wasn't directly to you
I didn't wrote "you are bitter"
I was generally speaking about some other people
but I guess you are really bitter and you included yourself there
not my problem
I don't have any inferiority complex
have a nice day
sir
