Hi all
So just updated to Catalina after GM went PB. And so far I have installed and set up everything to match my old High Sierra,
But I have one problem, I can't get my disabling of the onscreen volume/brightness to stick.
Here is the approach I use
Enable/disable volume/screen brightness icons - Single user

  1. Boot into recover OS (CMD+R) -> terminal

  2. Code:
    csrutil Status

    If enable - disable
    Code:
    csrutil Disable
  3. Reboot
  4. In MacOS -> terminal
    Code:
    launchctl unload -wF /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.OSDUIHelper.plist
  5. Reboot into recovery OS -> Terminal
  6. Step 2 but enable instead of disable
    Code:
    csrutil Enable
  7. Reboot
  8. Done
To undo changes follow steps, change “unload” to “load” in step 4
Any one who have done this and can get it to stick without leaving csrutil disable?

Bonus info, restarting with csrutil disabled still keeps the change.
