I dist-upgraded a working system from Debian 7 to Debian 8 and then to Debian 9 (in 2 steps). But Virtualmin is not showing/getting the correct Operation System now, it still shows “Operating system: Debian Linux 7.1”, but the system runs on Debian GNU/Linux 9.9.
My system:
Webmin version: 1.900
Virtualmin version: 6.06-2 Pro
Kernel and CPU: Linux 3.10.9-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64 on x86_64
Do you recommend uninstalling and re-installing Virtualmin?
I wouldn’t recommend reinstalling, that’s likely to cause some trouble.
To update the OS, if it’s not prompting you to update, try going into Webmin -> Webmin -> Webmin Configuration -> Operating System, and there you can correct the detected OS/version.
Of course I can change it manually. But it doesn’t make any sense.
I have changed it to the correct Debian version 9.9, but now I getting a warning on the dashboard:
Warning!
Warning - Your system is actually running Debian Linux version 7.1.
Here’s it. The /etc/issue file is quite an old file, from 2013, and not updated:Debian GNU/Linux 7.1
