today I was updating CentOS 5.7 to 5.8 through Webmin. However my browser crashed and the updating process was cancelled at 80%. So I restarted the browser and finished the pending updates via Webmin. Terminal now returns
But webmin System Information still gives me 5.7. I assume that this is a result of the browser crash and the information was not updated in webmin. How can I update the information in webmin? (update from 5.6 to 5.7 automatically changed the system information to the new version)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
simply go to webmin > webmin configuration > operating system
and tick the box "Update Webmin to use detected OS"
I'm running webmin 1.580 on Ubuntu 11.10 and instead of "operating system" I have a config panel named "Operating System and Environment." The panel I have shows the detected operating system, but does not have the checkbox you reference. Instead, it just has a field where I may manually type in the OS version number and a listbox where I may select the OS name. Is there a better version of webmin that can automatically pull this info? It would be nice if I did not need to remember to manually update webmin when I upgrade the OS - which will probably be happening again in a month or two.

In Webmin 1.690 on my Ubuntu 14.04.1 server (which I recently upgraded from 12.x), the System Information page was still reporting 12.x but at the bottom it said "Detected operating system is 14.04.1" and there was a button labeled "Update to Detected Operating System"; pressing that button did the trick.

Hello,
today I was updating CentOS 5.7 to 5.8 through Webmin. However my browser crashed and the updating process was cancelled at 80%. So I restarted the browser and finished the pending updates via Webmin. Terminal now returns
# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.8 (Final)
But webmin System Information still gives me 5.7. I assume that this is a result of the browser crash and the information was not updated in webmin. How can I update the information in webmin? (update from 5.6 to 5.7 automatically changed the system information to the new version)
simply go to webmin > webmin configuration > operating system
and tick the box "Update Webmin to use detected OS"
Detected operating system CentOS Linux 5.8
Update Webmin to use detected OS
