iasl error?

[telepati]

The command doesn't work always giving an iasl error?

[MACscr]

I am in the exact same boat. Trying this on my catalina macbook. Well almost the same

Manually download and install python, it will work after that.

[canyondust]

getting a similar error, even when launching the script terminal with python

[canyondust]

For the record, the script works on my 10.13.6 system. (But not Windows 10)

[patlux]

Same here on Windows 10. I run it on Ubuntu on the same machine and it works.

Don't forget to fix the issue here.

With regard to the iasl issues - you can try downloading the zip from the corresponding link for your OS in the following:

        self.iasl_url_macOS = "https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/acpica/downloads/iasl.zip"
        self.iasl_url_linux = "http://amdosx.kellynet.nl/iasl.zip"
        self.iasl_url_windows = "https://acpica.org/sites/acpica/files/iasl-win-20180105.zip"

Then extract the iasl(.exe) binary to the Scripts directory in the SSDTTime folder and try running again. I know older versions of python have certificate issues that some websites reject.

As for the getpass fix - I'll look into it, but I don't personally use Linux, so I'll run it by @ioiiio who added the Linux portions to dsdt.py.

Thanks for the update; unzipping iasl-win-20180105.zip into the scripts folder works, however a new error is encountered when trying to dump the DSDT (on my windows 10 system):
(It is possibility looking in ./SSDTTime-Master/ instead of ./SSDTTime-Master/Scripts/ ?

[im-not-a-dev]

Latest post seems to be irrelevant and should have its own issue instead.

As for (the Linux side of) this issue, the script seems to either misreport a failed download as a successful one, or does some magic when it comes to the (uuid of the) temp folder. Further debugging would be necessary however I am unable to reproduce the issue.

same issue here.
I got how it happen.
When you right click the SSDTTime.bat , The issue showed.
You can use Windows Power Shell：
win + r
enter 'powershell' and hit [enter] to open the Power shell window.
cd to the path where SSDTTime.bat
enter '.\SSDTTime.bat'
that would help.

Hi, tried your way but still stuck... Any more advise you may have?

[fallen90]

For those who are stuck with this on Windows 10 Try downloading iasl files from https://acpica.org/sites/acpica/files/iasl-win-20180105.zip or get it from ./SSDTTime-master/Scripts/dsdt.py and find the line self.iasl_url_windows

download the zip file, and extract the contents to ./SSDTTime-master/Scripts

then run the script again.

[NiklasBr]

Thanks @fallen90, your instructions helped.

It appears the acpica.org is having certificate issues (Firefox warns with SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER) and that might prevent the downloader.py script from downloading the content:

    def open_url(self, url, headers = None):
        # Fall back on the default ua if none provided
        headers = self.ua if headers == None else headers
        # Wrap up the try/except block so we don't have to do this for each function
        try:
            response = urlopen(Request(url, headers=headers))
        except Exception as e:
            if sys.version_info >= (3, 0) or not (isinstance(e, urllib2.URLError) and "CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED" in str(e)):
                # Either py3, or not the right error for this "fix"
                return None
            # Py2 and a Cert verify error - let's set the unverified context
            context = ssl._create_unverified_context()
            try:
                response = urlopen(Request(url, headers=headers), context=context)
            except:
                # No fixing this - bail
                return None
        return response

Fix the issue with a different file host in dsdt.py.

Swap:
self.iasl_url_windows = "https://acpica.org/sites/acpica/files/iasl-win-20180105.zip"

For this:
self.iasl_url_windows = "https://sad.network/files/iasl-win-20180105.zip"

Hi, I had this same issue on Linux but seemingly due to the fact that http://amdosx.kellynet.nl/ is down.
Luckily, iasl is included in the Fedora repos (and presumably in other distros too) in acpica-tools.
In order to fix this issue for me, I got acpica-tools and copied (or symlinked) iasl to Scripts/iasl.

[kov-serg]

I've changed this line

            response = urlopen(Request(url, headers=headers))

to this:

            context = ssl._create_unverified_context()
            response = urlopen(Request(url, headers=headers),context=context)

and now it works.

was wondering your steps to achieve this

[DrHoulberg]

I'm having this same issue, I'm on Linux Mint. I've installed python and have acpica built in, but can't find a way to get the iasl.zip anywhere.

[yohannesuc]

Hi, I had this same issue on Linux, and like Meleck76 say create a folder in SSDTTime-master/Scripts/ call it iasl copy /user/share/doc/acpica-tools to that folder .
cp -r /user/share/doc/acpica-tools path/to/SSDTTime-master/Scripts/iasl

[Rubendebbarma]

.\SSDTTime.bat

Thanks, these methods work for me

./SSDTTime-master/Scripts/dsdt.py and find the line self.iasl_url_windows (copy the link and open to download)

download the zip file, and extract the contents to ./SSDTTime-master/Scripts

open CMD here: \SSDTTime-master\SSDTTime-master
type "python SSDTTime.py" and you are good to go!
