Versus just a blank screen? Isn't the effect the same - a locked system? No, a screensaver actively uses resources to operate. A blank screen is off. Plus Cmmd+L locks the screen, no need for a screensaver to do that for you. the screensaver also has a 'blank' mode which has an associated timer... If the user set it at 1 min, I'm sure it's about security with them, not some stupid pipe drawing program.... so I'm back to my original comment. blank screen/screen saver - who cares - end result is the same, a locked system. Yeah, that was going on too! too?

      @Ylian Any thoughts on why my system is demanding having the "cert": line added? I did do a startup based on the install instructions node ./node_modules/meshcentral --cert example.servername.com Does that put the hostname somewhere other than the config.json?

      The new views really make a huge difference. Going to the top bar view, removing the bottom bar, adding dark mode. I have way more screen real estate and feel like I can get to what I need more quickly.

      Exported, cleaned up references to mongo and all better. No Mongo. Export the database (this uses the running database, so I had to have Mongo fixed) cd /opt/meshcentral node node_modules/meshcentral --dbexport" Go in the config file and remove the "mongodb" line(s) in settings nano /opt/meshcentral/meshcentral-data/config.json Restart meshcentral systemctl restart meshcentral # or /opt/meshcentral/mcstop /opt/meshcentral/mcstart Import the database cd /opt/meshcentral node node_modules/meshcentral --dbimport" Restart meshcentral systemctl restart meshcentral # or /opt/meshcentral/mcstop /opt/meshcentral/mcstart

Should, of course. No software ever goes in the /home directory. But need to? No, root can use any directory. Will work on this. Thanks If you are using NeDB, it is super simple to move the data file. If you are using MongoDB, the database is always still there on the same port. Until MongoDB is gone!

      @scottalanmiller said in MeshCentral never updates the display name: I would prefer hostname as a separate "detected" field that is always there, and the display name as one that doesn't change on us. I don't care what the default setting is, as long as it is a setting that I can choose, because I will hate having to update crap all the time.

      Upgraded from 18.04.2 LTS to current. Accepted default answers for individuals packages during upgrade. Had issue with MC and the meshcentral-data/meshcentral.db getting set with root:root perms and this caused a few errors with starting MC from meshcentral.service Changed perms to back to <user>:<user> and all is well. Don't know what would change those perms though? Either way, all is well now.

      @scottalanmiller said in MechCentral Feature Request: Blank Background Wallpaper Option: A feature that I would really like to see on MeshCentral is the option to have background wallpaper blanked out. This reduces bandwidth needs and often goes a long way to improve responsiveness and look & feel when using remote access. Many customers and users have rotating backgrounds that just destroy remote connections. @Ylian Already submitted a request on github?

Easier to just start over? Probably, but never considered doing that! I think @Ylian mentioned that is was possible or was going to be possible. in the main thread.. not 100% sure. Should be, they share a format. I've just never ingested a backup into NeDB before.

      @JaredBusch said in MeshCentral - Unable to update: @scottalanmiller said in MeshCentral - Unable to update: @DustinB3403 said in MeshCentral - Unable to update: @scottalanmiller said in MeshCentral - Unable to update: Non-MongoDB install here. Update went smoothly. Didn't mongoDB just change their license too, to something so practically insane that using MongoDB for even free and open source projects makes it worthless to consider? Nope. They just made it only make sense for open source projects. Yes, they fucked it all up. But as long as everything is open source, it seems to still be ok to use. Yeah. For open source, it works fine. The physical product is good, but just not the license. Have to say, we've been testing Atlas, their "paid" service and it is unstable. So even their paid for product, if you pay to make it okay for non-open source projects, isn't viable. Like seriously unstable. We've had more outages in three weeks of testing with Atlas on Amazon AWS, then we've had with our in house MongoDB on Linode in five years!

      Its actually Upload default server core, when the terminal has gotten stuck for me, I have cleared the core and then upload the default server core to get it to work again properly without rebooting the machine. Clearing the core gets only General, Events and Console tabs and loading the default loads all the rest. Maybe it helps in this case as well.
