Kernel panic when waking from sleep

Describe the bug
I left my laptop powered on and sleeping all weekend with lid closed, with external display and keyboard attached. When I returned Monday morning I was unable to wake it up so I had to reboot and then I saw the panic report naming BetterTouchTool as the culprit. Not sure if you can get anything useful from this.

Device information:
MacBookPro11,5
macOS 10.14.2
BTT 2.428

That's most likely not related to BTT (BTT runs in user space and doesn't install any kernel extensions).
Unfortunately it's very hard to track down stuff like this. Sometimes it's a hardware issue, sometimes it's some kernel extension that is installed (however in your case I can only see VirtualBox, so if that is up-to-date it's probably not caused by it)

Hi Andreas, and Elliott.

So I'm a longterm BTT worshipper, but I've only had a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar since March. It does seem that if BTT is running and the machine is left to sleep and particularly if the power supply is interrupted (disconnected/reconnected) in any way, the machine will panic in just the way described as Elliott.

I've been trying to troubleshoot this ever since getting the Mac, Apple have found it as difficult as I have to pin down but of course, as it doesn't occur with no third party software running, they don't see it as a hardware issue.

When BTT 3 came out, I was hoping the issue might go away, no luck. The MacBook Pro Supplemental Update came out this week and I was really hoping that, as it was over 1GB and focused on the T2 chip, that maybe this issue would get fixed. The only way I can be sure that I won't come back to a panicked, rebooted Mac is to quit BTT before sleeping it. That surely can't be right.

Now, I don't think this is a problem with BetterTouchTool per se. However at this point I find it undeniable that perhaps due to the way that BTT uses the Touch Bar, or simply the fact that the Touch Bar is doing way more than just sitting there totally unused (as I presume it does on every person's machine that doesn't have BTT), it's causing some flaw in the Touch Bar implementation/hardware to be symptomatic.

However, is there any chance you would take another look at this for us, Andreas? Do you use BTT with a Touch Bar enabled 2018+ MacBook Pro? If there are any troubleshooting steps you would like me to take or any data you would find it easier to look at (even the Panic logs, when related to the T2 'iBridge') chip, are totally unreadable for me)

Yours so very upset about this whole thing,

Chris

I also have been experiencing sleep-wake failures (MacBook Pro spontaneously reboots) and BTT implicated in the panic report. Need to quit BTT before sleep to avoid. Very inconvenient as find BTT very useful.

sorry, there is not much I can do here. This is most definitely a hardware or driver issue ;-(

However it may well be that some function in BTT could access parts of the faulty hardware/driver that could lead to this, but without having one of the faulty machines it's pretty much impossible for me to reproduce this in order to add a workaround. There are many people on the internet (apple forums) with the same ibridge issues, that are not using BTT at all.

Is it not possible that BTT could alter the way it accesses the Touch Bar in such a way as to avoid the issue? Do you have options when accessing the TB - are there any troubleshooting steps to try in this regard? But of course, if you don't have a T2-equipped Touch Bar Mac to test with, there's not much hope of this.

I'm tempted to install the Catalina DP but I'm sure that would have worse reliability if anything. I was just so disappointed when the panics continued to occur after the Supplemental Update - because whatever they say publicly Apple are most definitely aware of the situation.

Andreas, is there anything we can take back when trying to get support for this issue? I've wanted to say, "there's no way that any app should be able to cause kernel panics excepting a faulty driver or hardware" but wasn't 100% sure of this. But that's true, isn't it? I understand you feel this is both outside of your scope of support responsibilites and capabilities, but, as someone with obviously greater knowledge of the Touch Bar and how it integrates with the rest of the system, I know I would appreciate any help you can give us in diagnosing and/or getting support for the issue. (If I had the money I would send you a Touch Bar MBP pronto, but I'm in debt for mine already, which stings doubly as I feel like it's a lemon)

Unfortunately there is only one way to access the TouchBar. I do own multiple T2 Macs but even among the many BTT users there are maybe 20 with kernel panics, I would really need one of these faulty machines but even then it’s unlikely I would be able to add a workaround ;-(

Best bet would be to get it replaced by Apple (maybe due to a faulty keyboard? They replace the complete bottom part for keyboard repairs)

I didn't consider that you'd obviously have analytics. So it sounds like what you're saying is that there are loads of people with the exact same Mac who aren't experiencing the issue, which does suggest to me that it is in fact a hardware fault. OK, so that's something. Anything fixable is good news. Genius Bar tomorrow then. Thanks Andreas

Philip, have you ever used SleepLess on your Mac? If you're not familiar with it, it's a utility that allows the Mac to keep running even when you close the lid (without having to have any external peripherals connected). It would be interesting to know, as it seems this may have - after all this - been a software error. Would be very interested to know if you had also used SleepLess at any point (even if it was since uninstalled)

If anyone is interested, this issue has actually culminated in me being kicked out of my home... I know right? Seems impossible. Anyway I'm back living with my mother now, still no sense in not continuing to troubleshoot the problem

Every time I experience the sleep wake failure with my MacBook Pro, the report gives the process name corresponding to the current thread as BetterTouchTool.

As an experiment I disabled BTT on the MacBook Pro about a month ago. Since then I've not had a single sleep wake failure on that machine.

It's a great pity I can't use the application on the MacBook Pro because I found it very useful, but the sleep wake failures were making me so frustrated.

BTT can't cause sleep wake failures, however it's possible that some interactions with some faulty kernel extensions you have installed can cause this. It can also be caused by faulty hardware, e.g. connected USB hubs.

The reason why BTT is shown as active is because it restarts when waking up from sleep.

I have nothing connected to the MacBook Pro. So how might I discover which "faulty kernel extensions" BTT may be poorly interacting with to cause the failures?

It would be great to find out, because while I miss using BTT, disabling it is the only way I've found of stopping the very annoying sleep restarts.

Unfortunately there is no standard way to debug such things. Uninstalling everything that has kernel extensions one by one is the only real way.

Making sure all the software and the operating system (especially software with kernel extensions like virtual machines) are on their latest version is probably the first thing to do.

One good place to start is with kextstat | grep -v apple to see all non-Apple kexts currently loaded.

Doing that lists Little Snitch and nothing else.

I miss BTT but I can't say I miss the restarts during sleep. But they were intermittent: if they return while BTT is disabled I'll report back.

With BTT disabled I'm still not getting the sleep restarts - and that's now the longest I've ever gone without them. It definitely points the finger at BTT, even if it is an 'interaction' with something.

Is definitely possible that e.g. some specific interaction with faulty hardware or hardware drivers could cause kernel panics. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about that :frowning:

Definitely report your kernel panics to Apple though!
