What happened?

The desklet is set to report connectivity to the router. The computer and router are 8 feet from each other. Hostcheck reports a connectivity issue repeatedly spaced several minutes apart and the outage is reported for about half a minute. it is set to check every 15 seconds. I have a continuous ping running, and I am using the computer. there is no connectivity issue. I had to disable the desklet.

Please concretize the "connectivity issue". What exactly does the desktop notification show? (Please enable the desktop notification for debugging, if you don't have it already.)

RSirois commented 5 months ago

It shows output of a ping command and it says it failed and the desklet changes from green to red

Best regards,

So the exact output of this ping command on the desktop notification would be interesting... As soon as this output reports a packet loss greater than 0%, the desklet says "CRIT". So I think you actually have short network dropouts since I'm not able to reproduce this behavior. It's not that unusual when using WiFi.

Have you looked what statistics your separate ping command in the terminal reports after exiting it with Ctrl+C? Surely it reports a small packet loss >0% too.

RSirois commented 5 months ago

0% from a running ping If it happens frequently in WiFi, which is what most people use, then it is useless

Wow, what kind words. So how would you design a ping check to be "useful"??

RSirois commented 5 months ago

Georg, I do like this desklet. However, it reports a different result than a running Debian ping. The Debian ping shows zero loss of response during the entire time that the desklet reports there is no response. The desklet should report accurate results. Randy

I don't know @RSirois . As you see in the notification output, it internally uses the normal ping command line. Since you are the only one reporting this issue and there is no idea how to improve it, I think this issue should be closed.

Ok thanks
