  Installed Authentic theme fresh on Webmin and Usermin and went to Usermin, not logos showing

I'm trying (like in #639) to get the custom logos working on Usermin. None of the logos are appearing in Usermin although the images are both kept in /etc/usermin/authentic-theme/images/ and /etc/usermin/authentic-theme/ - I put them in images as well because I noticed that in the code those directories were references.

/usr/share/usermin/authentic-theme/ is also populated.

I'm having difficulties determining why it isn't working because in the sub embed_logo() { ... } function it would appear that it would work regardless. We were trying to check where $root_directory was initialized to see if maybe that was the issue but couldn't find it so figured it's not on GitHub.

The page itself does not show anything with the divs that are supposed to be printed, they are just missing completely.

Thanks

Did you try to reload the whole page, and not just the right frame?

Do you have proper permissions on the directories?

If I upload the logo in Webmin->Theme Configuration->Logos I can see it in both Webmin and Usermin.

At the same time, there is no option yet to have different logos for Webmin/Usermin

[brianforan]

What do you mean by the right frame? I reloaded by refreshing the page/restarting Usermin so I'm pretty sure it was an adequate refresh. I also deleted the theme from Webmin and Usermin and reinstalled to make sure they were the same version because at one point we'd gotten a Perl error because I believe they were mismatched.

This is the permission/info on /etc/usermin/authentic-theme: d-wxr----t 3 root root 4096 Apr 5 16:19 authentic-theme - sorry, I am not very well versed in *nix command line but trying to pick it up as I go.

The logos were uploaded through Webmin/Webmin Configuration/Themes/Theme Logos in the past and are still visible there. The login page/bottom left logo works great in Webmin and it's fine to have the logos be the same on Webmin and Usermin, they just aren't showing up in Usermin I guess.

Thanks for your time.

[iliajie]

I will test it tomorrow for you one more time.

Do you also have updated version of the theme in Usermin?

[brianforan]

Yes, I have the most recent from the list on the Webmin website.

[iliajie]

So after you set up logos in Webmin do they appear in /etc/usermin/authentic-theme?

If you open browsers console, are there any errors?

Are you root user or sudoer?

[iliajie]

Ok, I got back to my PC.

I see the reason why this is happening. I will make a patch to make sure that /etc/usermin and /etc/usermin/authentic-theme get proper permissions.

Permissions should be 755 on the directory /etc/usermin/authentic-theme. In case you still need that sticky bit on it, run the following:

chmod 1755 /etc/usermin/authentic-theme otherwise just chmod 755 /etc/usermin/authentic-theme

It will work for you then.

Mentioned directory /etc/usermin/authentic-theme/images is not needed. It's a referrer to /usr/share/usermin/authentic-theme/images.

[iliajie]

I also discovered another critical bug there. Thanks for reporting!

Please upgrade the theme from the repo.

[brianforan]

Hey Ilia. Thanks for all of your help. To apply the hotfix I cloned the repository, should I just manually upload?

[iliajie]

Cloning should be enough, to both Webmin and Usermin. After you install it, there is new option to check new version from Git. In the future, you will be able to install new Git version with single click.

[brianforan]

Ah.. I cloned to my own host OS so I could upload the files manually. I'm not sure I know how to manually install the theme on my server, although I do know how to clone it. Can you link somewhere I can find how to do this on Webmin? I don't mean to badger you with these questions.

[iliajie]

Just go on your server to /usr/share/webmin and clone it there.

Before that you would need to delete authentic-theme directory. Do the same for Usermin.

Like I mentioned, after this manual update you will be able to enable Git updates from settings.

[brianforan]

Hey Ilia, sorry to bother you with this ticket but I'm not sure what to do. I'm still not seeing any images appear in my Usermin instance. I reuploaded the images from Webmin to see if maybe they were out of sync but that didn't fix it. Also spun up a new instance of the server as a whole and recreated my Webmin/Usermin configuration and still not having any success stories.

The screenshot shows the login page with nothing on Usermin

Also missing the image that should be on the bottom of the lefthand panel.

[iliajie]

Is there a way I could login in check? You can share the credentials using my website. I can't tell why it's not working for you other than what I already did. Or you could wait for the other update of Webmin/Usermin that should be coming quite soon. I guess a week or two.

[brianforan]

Unfortunately not.. I'm doing this for a work project and don't think it'd be appropriate for me to give out my login details.

Is there a version of anything that I can check in this to check if it's actually getting the right update?

[iliajie]

I understand, sure, no problem.

It should be working. After you copied the files or updated the theme and it doesn't work - it might be the cache issue.

You should reload Webmin and Usermin. If it still doesn't work, you could find the processes ids by running:

ps aux | grep -v grep | grep miniserv

The output should be something like:

root     1234  0.0  2.7 210316 113748 ?       Ss   11:28   0:03 /usr/bin/perl /usr/libexec/webmin/miniserv.pl /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf
root     5678  0.0  0.4 101656 17672 ?        Ss   10:34   0:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/libexec/usermin/miniserv.pl /etc/usermin/miniserv.conf

and later after you have the process id, kill it manually, like this:

kill -9 1234 
kill -9 5678 

Where 1234 is the Webmin pid and 5678 Usermin pid.

After that run

/etc/webmin/start

and

/etc/usermin/start

[brianforan]

Did that and still no luck. Should I just wait for the next release?

[iliajie]

It's very strange. Can you login as root user and try again, without using sudo?

[brianforan]

Still nothing. It's so weird because I was thinking maybe the classes were hidden or something but they just aren't even there (classes being ._logo and ._logo_welcomeand neither is the div they belong in.

[iliajie]

If you open the source, is it there?

[iliajie]

I hope permissions on authentic-theme folder is 755?

[iliajie]

Do you have uploaded logos at /etc/usermin/authentic-theme?

[brianforan]

Logos aren't there. Not sure why, but usermin/ also doesn't have any other files or folders other than authentic-theme. I'm going to reinstall Usermin I think so I can get those files back, I'm not sure where else I'd copy them from.

[iliajie]

What are the permissions on etc, usermin and authentic-theme?

[brianforan]

755 on etc
755 on /etc/usermin
755 on /etc/authentic-theme

I was looking in /usr/share/usermin/authentic-theme for images, it's user/share/usermin/ that only has authentic-theme in it. /etc/usermin/authentic-theme has logo.png as well as logo_welcome.png

[iliajie]

There should be no /etc/authentic-theme but /etc/usermin/authentic-theme. Are you running as root?

[brianforan]

Sorry I missed usermin. The correct third one was /etc/usermin/authentic-theme and it had permissions 755.

[iliajie]

Copy *.png from /etc/webmin/authentic-theme to /etc/usermin/authentic-theme. Will it work then?

[brianforan]

No luck here either

[iliajie]

Webmin logo works?

[brianforan]

The Usermin that I installed from Webmin>Webmin modules>Install webmin.com/usermin on the standard module from ... textbox uses port 20000, and Webmin runs on port 10000.

[iliajie]

Very interesting. I will have to take a deeper look into that. I have never heard of installing Usermin itself as a module.

What is the output of ps command I mentioned before?

[iliajie]

..and what is the output of whereis usermin and whereis webmin?

[iliajie]

It's important, what is the output of commands above?

[iliajie]

The Usermin that I installed from Webmin>Webmin modules>Install webmin.com/usermin on the standard module from ... textbox uses port 20000, and Webmin runs on port 10000.

What you installed is Usermin module for Webmin, that will let you manage installed version Usermin.

[brianforan]

Sorry, was probably commuting/sleeping when you responded.

Result of ps

webmin: /etc/webmin /usr/share/webmin

[iliajie]

..and what is the output of whereis usermin and whereis webmin?

[brianforan]

Respectively:

usermin: /etc/usermin /usr/share/usermin

webmin: /etc/webmin /usr/share/webmin

[iliajie]

..and at the same time /usr/share/usermin is empty?

[brianforan]

Not entirely. Here's ls -lsa /usr/share/usermin - I just think it's strange that it's so 'empty' compared to the ls of /usr/share/webmin

4 drwxr-xr-x   4 root root 4096 Apr 10 15:40 .
4 drwxr-xr-x 117 root root 4096 Apr  7 16:50 ..

[iliajie]

You have strange install. How did you install Usermin?

[brianforan]

From within Webmin I went to Webmin Configuration, then Webmin Modules, then where it says install from webmin.com I typed in Usermin and installed like that.

[iliajie]

No. You could only install Usermin module to control Usermin with it. In case it wasn't installed, you would have to click install button from inside Webmin/Usermin Configuration first to install .deb package. Remember doing it?

[brianforan]

Ahh yes I remember what you're talking about now, vaguely. Maybe I should remove Usermin entirely and reinstall so that I can have all of this from scratch.

[iliajie]

Sure, go ahead. Save configuration first, just in case.

[brianforan]

Ok, I uninstalled and reinstalled. Reinstalled theme with direct github link. Still no logos. How I installed was after I ran /etc/usermin/uninstall.sh I deleted the /usr/share/usermin folder then when I clicked Usermin Configuration it said something like Usermin is not installed, but we can install it automatically for you by clicking here so I clicked that and it installed the tar.gz of Usermin.

Now Usermin works.

[brianforan]

I also made sure /etc/usermin/authentic-theme was set to 755.

[iliajie]

Still no logo?

[brianforan]

Yep, I'm going to see about just getting a fresh instance that I can install webmin from scratch on. Something doesn't seem right

[brianforan]

The problem is not occurring on my own instance of Webmin/Usermin, which I did a complete fresh install with. So I guess it's somewhere in the actual install of my other instance.

[iliajie]

It's interesting for me to find out what is that, really.

[brianforan]

I'm not sure this issue will ever occur for anyone else. I think the install is from a good amount of time ago. I can try to trace through the folders and see what is in the wrong place, though..

[brianforan]

I will note however that the folder /usr/share/usermin/ was created in this install. It wasn't created in the last. I installed Usermin by wgetting it from the website and then used dkpg --install, instead of downloading from the Webmin interface. Maybe I can fix our other server by doing that, I'll try it and let you know.

This has definitely been a learning experience if anything

[brianforan]

On the server that this ticket originated with, I reinstalled Usermin and reinstalled the latest version of authentic from github. logo.png is showing on the bottom left of the authenticated page, but still logo_welcome.png is missing. any idea?

Both logos are in /etc/usermin/authentic-theme/

[iliajie]

I don't see how it's possible. The only thing I could recommend is to refresh the page using browser's reload button or just hitting F5.

[brianforan]

Yeah I was thinking how is this possible? too. I opened in incognito and it wasn't working there either.. I'll try killing the processes again and rebooting them manually and see if that helps

[iliajie]

Sure, go ahead.

[brianforan]

that did it. all working now with the logos, thanks for your assistance along the way.

[iliajie]

You're welcome. I'm glad to be helpful.
