I’ve posted this on several different threads about the same issue:
I’m running Ubuntu 20.04 (and 18.04 before that) and that’s only happened once. I normally don’t work at the physical server, I work on a laptop remotely.
When that happened, I restarted the server remotely and it was still there. But when I went to the physical server and restarted from it, they vanished.
Seems to be an cache issue then I guess. You could also manually check via ssh for updates. If non are there too, then it’s “just” an cache issue. You could try to force restart it.
Good tip. I found this for Webmin/Virtualmin to be important, as well as for my wordpress installs. I basically never want cache so I get latest updates to my changes, but it seems like a contact duty to keep clearing it out.I’m looking for a browser add-on or another tool try and always keep cache flushes and deleted.
You can set your browser to delete cache on exit, but that deletes the whole cache.
Sometimes are forced reload (controll + shift + r/f5) is doing the trick too.
