Fixed an issue which caused some devices (notably FLIRC) to behave badly and have repeat presses.Debian 12 (Bookworm) will only support the merged usr-root filesystem layout. New installations of OSMC will contain the usrmerge package.If you have your own scripts which use Python 2, you’ll need to upgrade these to use Python 3.

As a result, a significant amount of space is saved on the root filesystem and initial installation. Previously, we included Python 2 as this was needed for the Samba server package.

Which command did you found useful? do share with us in the comments.In May, we released test builds of Debian Bullseye for all supported OSMC devices. That’s all! In this article, we have explained several ways to check which Debian version you are running on the system. Hostnamectl – Print Debian Version and Kernel Version The hostnamectl command is used to set or change system hostname and related settings, but you can use this command to check the Debian version along with the kernel version. etc/os-release – Print Debian Version Checking Debian Version using hostnamectl Command The /etc/os-release is a new configuration file introduced in systemd, which contains system identification data, and only available in newer Debian distributions. $ cat /etc/debian_versionĬhecking Debian Version using the /etc/os-release File The above command only shows the Debian version number, if you want to know the current Debian update point releases, use the following command, it will also work on the older version of Debian releases. The /etc/issue is a text file that holds a message or system identification information, you can use the cat command to print the contents of this file. Checking Debian Version using the /etc/issue File That’s not the only way, there are several other ways to find out the installed Debian version as explained below. From the output above, I am using Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) as shown in the Description line.
