I somehow updated to 10.15.5 supplemental update. Then I checked again for 10.15.6 beta. It appeared, I clicked on „more info“ closed that window and the update was not there anymore... super strange... removing profile and adding it again didn’t solve that problem.
Got a tip for us?

I somehow updated to 10.15.5 supplemental update. Then I checked again for 10.15.6 beta. It appeared, I clicked on „more info“ closed that window and the update was not there anymore... super strange... removing profile and adding it again didn’t solve that problem.
Finally, it's showed here in Switzerland (and I'm downloading). 3.36GB. Glad I didn't bother with the 10.15.5 supplemental thing.
Okay here is my experience......I have a 27" iMac 2017 64Gig RAM connected to My LAN ( 2 NASs total 16TB) and WAN by ethernet cables. 10 months ago the internal 1 TB SSD failed. Last week the "new" 1TB SSD failed and has been replaced under warranty. The internal SSD runs 10.14.6.
I have 2 external Samsungs 2TB each connected by the thunderbolt ports. I decided to give it a go and install 10.15.4 on one and use it as the startup disk. Now it's on 10.15.5. Well my machine runs brilliantly and very "snappy". No trouble accessing the NASs. The audio and video is a way better using Catalina than Mojave. And I'm touching wood telling this
I think that is right.
I had 10.15.5 build 19F96. It could see the 10.15.6 beta.
I updated to build 19F101 with the supplemental update and could not see the 10.15.6 beta anymore.
I used a bootable usb of 10.15.5 build 19F96 to downgrade to 19F96. It can see 10.15.6 beta again.
Now updating to 10.15.6 build 19G36e.
Of course I backed up each time. So although I only actually ran 19F101 for a few minutes at least I have a backup of it before getting 10.15.6.
A possible reason for this behaviour: Although the beta was released on the same day as the supplemental update it could be that build 19F101 is actually newer than 19G36e - which explains why 19F101 can't see 19G36e i.e., 19G36e can't install over the top of 19F101 because 19F101 is newer.

Either it hasn’t shown up here in Australia yet, or the theory that you can’t if you installed the supplemental update first holds.
Well it's definitely in Australia. That's where I am and am currently running 10.15.6 beta 1. But was only able to install it after downgrading from build 19F101 to 19F96 first.
Unless you want a backup of 19F101 like I did, I think the advice to developers is to avoid the supplemental update and go straight from 19F96 to 10.15.6 beta 1 (i.e., skip 19F101).
I am not seeing it either and have tried using a VPN to change location to the USA and the UK without success.
But I did upgrade to 19F101, so I do believe that I will now have to wait for the Beta 2

This has been supplemented with 10.15.6 Public Beta 1 as of this morning, 2 June 2020.
Anyone have any luck getting this installed overtop the 15.5.5 supplemental update?
Have the horrible scrolling changes introduced in 10.15.4 been fixed/reverted?
No sign of either a 10.15.5 supplemental 'something' or a 10.15.6 beta over "here" in Bulgaria: but, Hey, the Balkans have always been at the bottom of the bag.
I think I'll go out in the sunshine with a bottle of white wine and get sloshed: then I won't need any beta backups as I'll be wallowing down in the gamma department . . . 🤣

I wish they'd bring back the Mac OS MAIL SEND-LATER feature/buttton/functionality ... I miss it!
I just got my MacBook and signed up for Public beta but no update is showing up. Is it because I have 10.15.5 installed? (In the US if it makes a difference)
Code:
alias gfdi 'sudo killall netbiosd NetAuthSysAgent Finder UmountAssistantAgent networkserviceproxy DiskUnmountWatcher diskarbitrationd'This has been broken (in various ways) since all the way back to 10.0.
And even when it does work, the whole Unix approach of "mounting" a network share vs. Windows just transparently accessing files on it (or at least abstracting things enough that it feels that way) seems like inferior UX.
Getting my iMac 5 back tomorrow had a shattered screen and video board was bad. I’m in 10.15.1 from last OCT, will it just to just update to. .6 release or I need to to install .2.3.4 etc etc ???
On any OS best practice is to connect by IP all the time even back in windows NT 4.0 win95-windows xp connecting using a computer name was always flacky. IP connect to share is the best way
so I have 10.15.5 with dev profile installed but its not showing 10.15.6 beta 1? is that normal right now? is everyone else having same issue? i dont get it whats going on? i didnt have my imac since lat oct 2019, so when i got i ran the installer for 10.15.5 from apple store to do the major update, i also installed and reinstalled the dev profile and even tried public beta and nothing?> im confused?
Hi! if you read part of this thread, you might have noticed that everyone who "installed" the latest system security update and moved to version 10.15.5 build 19F101 can no longer install version 10.15.6... Now we just have to wait for the next beta of the macOS Catalina. Unless you go back to an earlier version of the 19F101, you will be able to install the new beta.

i had lots of **** going on, was working on this and that at the same time, Imac was down for 8 months due to broken 5K screen and Logic board so once i had it up and running i was up on the latest build number and was fixing office 365 updates on my machine, so my apologies your Royal haines
What does this return (you should probably see "beta" somewhere in there):
Code:
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist CatalogURLAlso, try running this:
Code:
softwareupdate -lDoes that still not find the beta?
Beta 2 It's a live!
@cponto - I noticed from another thread you have the same problem as me with 10.15.5 with the LaCie external drive not waking from sleep. Did they attempt to fix that yet in 10.15.6?
