Final Cut Pro X Additional Content Question

[Erik]

This may be a "client management question" but does anyone have a post-install script that invokes the FCP X Additional Content?

Once a user installs FCP X, they select "Download Additional Content" in the Menu bar and on the following munki run, it will download the content from my ASUS. I would like for it to at least check on the second run without them clicking on that, as they may not realize it has the content.

[Gregory Neagle]

How about something like:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/softwareupdate -d FCPContent-1.0

or even:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/sbin/softwareupdate -i FCPContent-1.0

If you don't want to download from Apple's servers, append a

--CatalogURL <local SUS server catalogURL>

to the command.

Erik: Did you try this?

[Erik]

Apologies, I have not yet. I had some initial reservations about this method, but I've been a bit busy with other deployments. I'm going to test this next week.

[Erik]

The "reservations" I had aren't as bad as I thought they would be.

I knew that munki was going to just display "running post install scripts" as the display dialog through MSU.app, but in virtualized testing, it went significantly faster than I expected it to. (using -i rather than -d).

I'm debating whether I should just do this with the Garageband Extra Content as well, or just import this one into munki like the former. What I would like to figure out is what that button is invoking inside of FCP X, because then munki will eventually see the update and log it with mwa, etc.

[Timothy Sutton]

You mention it shows up when the user clicks to download additional content. Previously, with the DVD versions of Garageband, clicking the button to get the extra "apple loops" would set some plist values at: /Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Package Registry.plist.


To me it looks possible that the content may just show up as installable based on whether FCP X 10.0 or greater _exists_, from a quick look at the content update .dist file, pasted below. Looks like the Motion content looks for at least 5.0.3. It also considers FCP X content installed if "'/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/Final Cut Pro Sound Effects/Ambience/Airport.caf" exists. Yet another case of Apple not using its own basic installer receipts mechanism.


Since the content packages are readily available from support.apple.com/downloads (or as a simple package, from SUS directly), why not just import this into Munki as well and make it an update_for?

I'm debating this. A few weeks ago, Greg, Heig and I were discussing post_install scripts and apple updates. With the new builds, munki will only offer both ASUS and munki packages if there are no conflicting packages (aka these packages). By importing them, you lose this ability on (some) runs. I'm trying to avoid this.

I actually have them imported in my repo but they are just not active. Running what Greg posted earlier allows me to install FCP X, the additional content and other SU's at the same time, with the only disadvantage being less verbose in the munki logs and the user only seeing "running post installs" during that process.

Not to derail my own topic, but what is the name for the GBExtraContent? I've tried running the -i command with every single name I could think of and all error with "package does not exist". I looked through the .dist and .sucatalog as well.

[Timothy Sutton]

GB extra content fir the DVD version was something with 'loops' in the name, but it's since moved to its own separate download outside of SUS for the MAS version.

I don't have it handy but there's a post on afp548 with its download location, which Allister made on my behalf.

Well I have it imported/active in munki. It's one of the few remaining SUS I am managing now. It's also on my ASUS as "GarageBand Instruments and Loops" with a v1.0 and 5.0. I've tried all sorts of combinations to invoke it, but none of them work using softwareupdate -d.

[Gregory Neagle]

"GBExtraContent-1.0" is the name you are looking for.  From the en.dist for 061-5890        GarageBand Instruments and Apple Loops             1.0:

<choice id='su' suDisabledGroupID='GBExtraContent'>

The suDisabledGroupID is the name you can use with /usr/sbin/softwareupdate.

But it's not magic.

If `softwareupdate -l` does not show GBExtraContent-1.0 as an available update, `softwareupdate -i GBExtraContent-1.0` is not going to have any effect.

`softwareupdate -i FOO` does not tell softwareupdate to install FOO even if softwareupdate doesn't think it's needed; instead it's more like a filter: "Of the available updates, if one is named FOO, install it."

Okay that would explain why this wasn't working for me when I tried that exact name from my dist. Thanks for the lesson. I think you've tried to explain this to me before, but it didn't click.

I'm going to play with this and the plist Timothy posted earlier. Maybe I can use plistbuddy with a post install script to add the keys and then invoke the softwareupdate to install it.

[Timothy Sutton]

This is what I used to run to set this:

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :GarageBand\ 5.0:Show\ Content\ Update true" /Library/Application\ Support/GarageBand/Package\ Registry.plist
