Arch Linux User Repository

I currently cannot get Webmin to start. Anyone else seeing this? In my case, /etc/pam.d/webmin DOES exist. I've rebuilt and reinstalled both webmin and perl-authen-pam with no luck.

systemd[1]: Starting Webmin server daemon...

@8ar10der Please ask webmin support page. I have no clue. If they give solution then I can try implement it. If they say that it is really not supported then I can disable that module.

@amish Hi, how to enable the bandwidth module? It is installed with this package, but show "it is not supported by the system"

RE: Merge request: The current download URL is correct, and is always the correct pattern for SourceForge downloads. Just because there is a redirect, does not mean the PKGBUILD should permanently include the target of the redirect.

By default, upgrade pages are removed because the user is supposed to upgrade Webmin using pacman. However, when I log in, I still see this message:

Webmin version 1.999 is now available, but you are running version 1.998.

This message can be hidden by adding a nowebminup=1 to /etc/webmin/config in setup-post.sh, and I would suggest doing so:

echo -e 'logfiles=1\nlogfullfiles=1\ngotoone=1\nnoremember=1\nnowebminup=1' >> "$archpkgdir"/etc/webmin/config

@amish, thanks for the hint. I was of the opinion, that this is something archlinux related, different paths, systemd-networkd usage or whatever. But sounds like it should usually work after installation ootb. So I will try yay again or manual install first.

But two computers with Arch do not show Network Configuration entry ("... not installed or supported by your os...")

No one else with missing network interfaces?

EDIT: found out at github that webmin scans for /etc/network/interfaces or /etc/netplan. I am using systemd/network/... and /etc/conf.d/... Not familiar with other distros anymore, but shouldn't they also switch to systemd-networkd?

@Tweety You may want to ask at webmin support page. https://github.com/webmin/webmin/issues

Hi all,

so far so good with 1.994-2, but some modules are missing. Did I miss some libraries or limitations at arch?

• At Firewalld just behind "Apply rules to ...":

Selected interfaces: HTTP/1.0 500 Perl execution failed Server: MiniServ/1.994 Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2022 10:19:16 GMT Content-type: text/html; Charset=utf-8 Connection: close

Error — Perl execution failed
Undefined subroutine
&net::active_interfaces called at ./firewalld-lib.pl line 261. 

• Menu item "Networking" doesn't provide "Network Configuration" Edit: Tried to install manually, (install-module.pl net.wbm.gz) leads to:

Install failed : Modul net does not support current os (Archlinux Any version)

Seems like the Firewalld Error depends on the other, because the rules cannot be assigned to the two NICs. Got to do that manually afterwards.

• Is it correct, that for mariadb config the directory is now "/etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf" ?

Any hints?
