Many thanks for your report.

Is this the complete output? It seems to end in the middle without any error message 🤔. Otherwise, please retry the package install and paste the pull output here:

apt install webmin

Btw, the first error about network time sync that got mixed inside, indicates that you removed systemd-timesyncd but didn't change the time sync mode to "custom" via dietpi-config > Advanced Options.

Hello,

I restoring my DietPi from Backup v. 8.2.2, then I update it to 8.3.0, then I chanching timesync to custom and here is the output from apt install webmin:

The error seems to be to stop the service as the but webmin.service is not yet loaded. If you are hit be the error, could you select the option Change command on the error screen. This should open another window with current command. Simply remove it and type true. Afterwards retry.

MichaIng · 2022-03-29T20:04:08Z

Verified, a strange one:

2022-03-29 22:01:54 root@VM-Bullseye:/tmp/DietPi-Software# invoke-rc.d webmin start
Failed to start webmin.service: Unit webmin.service not found.
invoke-rc.d: initscript webmin, action "start" failed.
Unit webmin.service could not be found.
2022-03-29 22:01:59 root@VM-Bullseye:/tmp/DietPi-Software# l /etc/init.d/webmin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.9K Mar  3 05:10 /etc/init.d/webmin

The webmin package install itself fails to start the Webmin service, but all error messages are suppressed, so it cannot be seen. The service is there, it looks like a valid init script, is executable, but when trying to start it, it says "not found" 🤔.

MichaIng · 2022-03-29T20:05:48Z

Ah, a simple systemctl daemon-reload fixes it. I wouldn't have guessed it is necessary. Let's check what Webmin changed in their postinst script recently.

MichaIng · 2022-03-29T20:11:57Z

Basically here is the upstream report: webmin/webmin#1612

As a workaround, from the error prompt, go to "Change command" and replace the line with a colon :. As the service was not started, it doesn't need to be stopped. We could actually add a check to only attempt stopping it when it is actually running.

MichaIng · 2022-03-29T20:41:25Z

Workaround landed for DietPi v8.3: dbd4b7c
We could do this in general (checking whether a service is running before trying to stop it), but on the other hand if the webmin package wouldn't contain the bug, the service did always run anyway. And attempting to stop it made us aware of this upstream bug, which is a good thing as well 🙂.

MichaIng · 2022-03-29T20:58:35Z

I actually missed that it was you commenting on the other issue. You don't need to run these systemctl commands on DietPi, since we install an own systemd service and start it at the end of dietpi-software run anyway. So for you, just skipping the service stop attempt via "Change command" should work. And yes, assure to try connecting via HTTPS, which is used by default by Webmin, reasonably. If it still fails, please paste the output of:

Danke für die freundliche Unterstützung.

Ja, aber alle verwendeten Browser meckern fehlende Zertifikate an.

Ich habe wie Du sicherlich noch weißt, 6 RasPi-Geräte, 5 davon (1x Zero-W, 1 x RasPi1, 1 x RasPi2, 2 x RasPi3) sind mit dem 32bit-Image von Dietpi versehen, der RasPi4 läuft mit dem 64bit-Image. Und genau der RasPi4 macht die Probleme, die anderen 5 nicht.

Bitte schreib hier, welche Konsolenbefehle ich eingeben muss, damit man danach aus den Ausgaben von Putty die richtigen Schlussfolgerungen ziehen kann. Ich kann der Diskussion nicht mehr vollständig folgen.

Joulinar · 2022-03-30T19:45:11Z

Ja, aber alle verwendeten Browser meckern fehlende Zertifikate an.

This is as expected as the Webmin certificate is not a real one. Nothing your need to worry about. Usually there should be an option to accept the risk and continue.

omavoss · 2022-03-30T20:04:27Z

Danke für alles. Ich habe Webmin auf dem RasPi4 deinstalliert und danach nochmals installiert. Außerdem habe ich die angebotenen Kernel-Updates installiert und nun funktioniert Webmin auch auf dieser Maschine.

MichaIng · 2022-04-02T16:16:45Z

Marking this as closed now. Workaround is in place, will be removed again with next Webmin release, where the missing systemctl daemon-reload has been added.
