Hi Team,

I tried to use amazon linux 2 AMI 2.0.20180810 x86_64 HVM gp2

** rpm -U webmin-1.890-1.noarch.rpm**
warning: webmin-1.890-1.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 11f63c51: NOKEY
Unable to identify operating system
error: %pre(webmin-1.890-1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 2

More info about version 2

**cat /etc/os-release**

Thanks - the next release of Webmin (1.894 and above) will support Amazon Linux 2.

Using Amazon Linux 2

Tal - what does /etc/system-release contain on your machine?

[Tal Amsalem]

exactly the same as in Yash's

[T C]

same here:

[user@machine]# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Amazon Linux"
VERSION="2"
ID="amzn"
ID_LIKE="centos rhel fedora"
VERSION_ID="7"
PRETTY_NAME="Amazon Linux 2"
ANSI_COLOR="0;33"
CPE_NAME="cpe:2.3:o:amazon:amazon_linux:2"
HOME_URL="https://amazonlinux.com/"

[user@machine]# cat /etc/system-release
Amazon Linux release 2 (Karoo)

[Jamie Cameron]

Ok, looks like the format is slightly different to what I expect - I'll fix this in the next release.

[Naveed Memon]

Any idea when will this get resolved ?

[Jamie Cameron]

You can try the 1.901 or later devel version from http://www.webmin.com/devel.html which should include this fix.

[Romer]

1.901 is not working on "amazon linux 2" same error

sudo rpm -U webmin-1.901-1.noarch.rpm
warning: webmin-1.901-1.noarch.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 11f63c51: NOKEY
Unable to identify operating system
error: %pre(webmin-1.901-1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
error: webmin-1.901-1.noarch: install failed

somebody could find the fix?

Thx

[Ian]

no fix yet =[
i'm still waiting

[Jamie Cameron]

How about with the 1.902 or later devel version?

[Robson]

1.902 worked like a charm to me.
