Problems with System Logs RS and File Manager

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Ubuntu 16.04, 20.04
Webmin version 2.200

All logs configured are listed correctly when opening System Logs RS but when I try to view any of the logs the it fails – the red line at the top of the viewport (the loading indicator) just keep on.

The File Manager fails in the same way. Trying to edit or view any file fails, even the smallest ones.

I have tested to apply the patch Fix setting webprefix for WebSocket URL · webmin/webmin@253d85b · GitHub since I also noticed the lack of stats. The patch fixes the stats problem but makes no difference regarding logs and File Manager.

  • Your Ubuntu is old it is not officially supported
    • (Ubuntu 16.04 End of Life (EOL) is scheduled for April 30, 2021.)
  • Syatem Logs RS is the old module but a lot of work has been done on the new System logs module using journalctl

It’s happening on all our Ubuntu installs, from 16.04 to 22.04.

Thanks for pointing med System Logs, just found out to add out to add more logs to it.

File Manager is still a problem. Not working for us on Ubuntu 16.0.4, 20.0.4 and 22.0.4.
