What happened?

Hostcheck Desklet suddenly stopped working. ping command outputs in German, causing string "0% packet loss" and "100% packet loss" not to be found. Changed string search to " 0%" " 100%" (with space) as a temporary fix.

Request: Fix to support ping outputs in multiple languages.

I'm using my system in German too with all language packs installed, but I have no clue how you can get ping to print German output. What did you do with your system to achieve this?

minutogit commented 6 months ago

That's a good question how I achieved that. I have only installed the language packs and Hostcheck has always worked. But at some point the ping with Hostcheck stopped working and then I looked to see what the problem was and realized that the English text was being parsed, but my ping output was now strangely in German. No idea how that happened.
