My system was installed 03/2021 and I am a few builds back running 20230616.
The wutmpdb package installed, but wtmpdb-rotate.timer and wtmpdb-update-boot.service are both disabled.
Should I enable both ( as you mentioned ) or will that happen when I update to the latest build ?
You have to enable both manually, as the update procedure doesn't know whether you turned them off because you don't want them to run. Until both are enabled, you will not get valid information from wtmpdb.
Last night I dup'd to 20230627 from 20230612 or so. After zypper ref, I zypper in'd wtmpdb, then checked their status to find disabled. Then I dup'd. After, I checked again, and both were enabled. Earlier in the day on another PC, I dup'd to 27 from about 20230512 or so, then installed wtmpdb to find both enabled. Is what wtmp/wtmpdb do something mere mortal TW users actually use? Is it rather a developer thing? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata
