Option to not check for updates

[baryluk]

I just noticed that GeexLab is doing network checks for new versions, and opens a browser to inform about the new version. This is somehow disruptive, and I wish there was a way for it to not do that.

I am using Linux version.

yes you can disable the check for a new version in the init0.xml: just add the check_version="0" attribute.

Or in command line:

Code Select Expand


./GeeXLab /no_online_check

Thank you. That works:

user@debian:~/Downloads/GeeXLab_linux64$ strace -f ./GeeXLab 2>&1 | grep -i connect
connect(4, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
connect(4, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, sun_path="/var/run/nscd/socket"}, 110) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
connect(4, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("77.109.128.2")}, 16) = 0

Would be great if /help actually showed the available options.
