That's what my problem is with the current release version (12.0.1)... I have a hub that will only work if it's connected to my USB-C dock (which itself I suppose is a hub). With Big Sur (and the i9 MBP... not sure which of those two is the culprit) I had this hub connected to another hub that was connected to the dock and it worked fine.
Got a tip for us?

This has been a problem since High Sierra. I have a Caldigit AV Pro 2 and a moshi USB 3.1 hub. It used to be the rMBP and now it's the iMac. Either machine won't start unless the moshi was connected to the Caldigit, which is an external HD and a USB hub. The computer would just hang on startup if I connect both directly to the USB port of the machine.
Thankfully, the way it would allow the computer to start is my preferred setup. Shopping for a USB hub for a Mac has become something of an art.
Re dynamic wallpaper: https://www.vyncher.com/articles/macos-montereyOoooh.
What’s the version number?
Does it fix the Safari 120 Hz bug?
Does it fix the memory leakage bug?
Does it fix the M1 battery preference pane bug?
Does it add A new dynamic landscape wallpaper?
Sorry I just wanted to be first to ask the important questions
The chained hub configuration worked fine for me with the i9 on Big Sur. It's not a show-stopper, but my cable arrangement is a bit more awkward now.
Does it happen on all apps? Or are there workarounds if this happens ?? I'm considering upgrading to beta 2 from beta 1 since people said it has a better inertia scrolling fps than beta 1. Thanks!
It's connected to the menu bar. If you hide that by default, there are no issues.
Yes. I have it set to hide in both options (full screen/desktop) and have not run into this issue again. Bit of a shame on the new MBPs, I have just set it to always show but that's unworkable in this beta. Hope for a fix soon.
Yup, worked perfectly on intel/big sur. On M1/Monterey 12.0, 12.0.1 and 12.1 beta one it worked but mounting drives was horribly slow. Beta 2 chained docks/hubs no longer works (even thunderbolt).
Yeah. I enabled the option to show it on fullscreen too. Really liked that. Hmm I'm still considering if it's worth disabling menu bar on full screen for the better scrolling inertia 120hz
Ah that menu bar showing or not is just something that you get used to really. Now I don't miss it anymore lol.
yeah, shame it's bugging like that. was really hoping that beta 2 would be less buggy than beta 1
Hopefully this will fix the random crashes I have been getting. At first I thought it was my Caldigit TS3 Thunderbolt hub that was causing the crashes, but then I unplugged that, and I just have my mouse, keyboard and external SSD drive on my MacMini M1 and I still get crashes. Even when nothing is loaded and the computer is sitting there idle, I'll come back and see that it's rebooted.
This is running 12.1 Beta (21C5021h)

I hope this is better for the 2021 14" MBP /16" MBP issues.

Holy ****. So still with memory leaks. ffs!
Great maybe now someone can enlighten us as to whether the memory leaks are fixed?
The first restart after I installed macOS Monterey (15.0.1), I got a warning stating that some extensions need to be updated before they'll work with the new operating system (Parallels Desktop, for example). In this article, hoakley mentioned that kernel leaks are partly due to third-party extensions:
So for those who are experiencing severe memory leaks, maybe try:
So for those who are experiencing severe memory leaks, maybe try:
- Removing all third-party kernel extensions and reinstalling them one by one so you can narrow down the culprit. Apple likely tweaked the macOS kernel again this time around.
- It seems people who use Adobe products and/or extensions that modify system-level functions, e.g. sound (e.g. utilities like SoundSource → SoundSource itself seems okay though), webcam input (e.g. utilities like EpocCam), keyboard mapping, and content blocker (utilities like Freedom) are the worst hit.
- Purge your memory manually.
