Hi,
Just spent ages making a long topic… and it disappears when I click ‘save’ and end up at virtualmin.com without any notification AND the topic doesn’t appear.
NB: Preview works
Edit: this message works, but my original, long one, doesn’t. Uncool!
Edit2: To add insult to injury, I can add a comment to this that contains the same text…but can’t post it as a new topic.
Ideas?
I recently set up a new virtualmin box using the script. It took me a while to realise that the ‘webmin-security-updates’ package wasn’t installed. So, I went to a root shell and typed: “apt-get install webmin-security-updates”
but got: “E: Unable to locate package webmin-security-updates”
And this is where things get weird for me, because my previous machine has it installed!
On my original machine, /etc/apt/source.list contains:
"
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu/ virtualmin-xenial main
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/gpl/ubuntu/ virtualmin-universal main
"
But my new one is:
"
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/apt virtualmin-xenial main
deb http://software.virtualmin.com/vm/6/gpl/apt virtualmin-universal main
"
Thinking ‘whatevs’, I went and copied over the older/original settings to the new box. Unfortuntely, I get this error after ‘apt-get update’:
"

Scratching my head… because I don’t know what the difference between these repos are, nor how to get to my objective and to install ‘webmin-security-updates’… so that I can monitor updates in virtualmin.
Any help appreciated.
The versions are…
New Machine:
OS: Ubuntu Linux 16.04.3
Virtualmin: 6.02.gpl Pro
Webmin: 1.870
Old Machine (originally trusty):
Ubuntu Linux 16.04.1
Virtualmin: 6.02.gpl Pro
Webmin version: 1.872
Comparing ‘apt-cache search virtualmin*’ returns completely different results.
Spam filter. Sorry. It gets everybody…if you include domain names or IP addresses, you have to make them something like “domain.tld” and if IPs something like 192.168.1.1.
We will approve message that get caught in the spam filter as we spot them, though the moderation queue management tools suck, so we miss things sometimes. We’ll be moving to a better forum in 2018. In the meantime, you can always open a ticket when this happens, and let us know you got filtered. Your messages are not lost…just in the queue.
The security updates module has been merged into Webmin core, now (probably under a slightly different name and path, but the functionality is in there). You don’t need another package. Is there a specific problem you’re trying to solve? The separate module has been deprecated and is unmaintained.
The two Virtualmin repos are independent with there own GPG keys. You do not want the old ones. You want the vm6 repos. The old ones will eventually be retired, once we’ve got everyone moved over to the new ones. The old repos have 10+ year old GPG keys; it’s time to begin retiring them. Also, you’d be missing quite a bit of new stuff by switching to the old repos.
