I am just wondering if all upgrading bugs have now been resolved with the upgrade. I dont update straight away becasue I am not experienced at linux. Thanks

How would we know? If we know about bugs, we fix them. But, in a major version, there will be a period where there are bugs that we didn’t find in testing and that haven’t been reported yet. However, there seems to be some confusion about where issues occur and what “upgrading to Virtualmin 8” mea…

[image] Joe: What are you waiting for? This is the whole point of this thread :smiley: and I was asking if it was time or are there any blocking issues., and there have been some. [image] Joe: Unless you’ve switched to the Virtualmin 8 repo, you don’t need to worry about that. We’re not …

Updated as soon as it happened (like previous versions) with no issues, not sure why your so worried.

[image] shoulders: When you say swap to the v8.x repos, how am I supposed to do this because it appears I already am. First, you update to version 8. That’s all. No need to do anything else in this moment. But, if you want, you could change to the new repos with this command: sudo virtualmin…

@joe is implying there are 2 parallel branches and you choose which one, I am not. :smiley: , that’s how his wording comes across.

When you upgrade to 8.x from 7.5 the install does not change the repro. Pretty shure @joe is saying if you have upgraded from 7.5, works fine, but keep that repro until they tell you to change it or change it if you know how to fix things. I’m sure it was double work on them to make it possible to …

[image] Virtualmin virtual-server module 8.0.1 released This release provides smoother migration to the new Virtualmin 8 repo, whether it’s a manual repo upgrade or an upgrade from GPL to Pro. Upgrading and repo location was an issue in 8.0 now in 8.0.1 it is fixed?

Virtualmin virtual-server module 8 is in both Virtualmin 7 repos and Virtualmin 8 repos. The virtual-server module is just another Webmin module, and you can/should upgrade when we roll updates. You do not (and generally should not) rush to change repos. You will continue to get updates of all of o…

gotcha you are supplying 2 repo streams, they both supply the same software upgrades. You have a new one but are keeping the old one online to prevent old Virtualmin installations not being able to update. Will Virtualmin change the repository being used when I upgrade to 8.x or do I have to do thi…

[image] shoulders: Will Virtualmin change the repository being used when I upgrade to 8.x or do I have to do this manually? No. Upgrading software doesn’t change what repository software will be installed from. But, you do not have to do it manually, either. And, as I’ve said several times, …

[image] Joe: They were with moving from the Virtualmin 7 repos (and its full Webmin package) to the Virtualmin 8 repos (with its modularized Webmin package). You have to go out of your way to break your system in that way. So the software is different. Using the terms Virtualmin 7 repos and…
