LSB = Linux Standard Base

It says "no modules available" simply because there are most likely no LSB modules installed. If you've read the Wiki article you might understand what it can be used for. In short: it is a system that attempts to make various Linux distributions being cross-compatible with each other with a standardized platform. Basically, it tries to reduce differences between the various Linux distributions.

A bit dated article with some information about LSB modules: https://lwn.net/Articles/658809/


About SolusVM: wot sure what you expect from it but what you see there is simply the template name or ISO name. It doesn't represent what really runs inside your VM after you performed upgrades or maybe even installed a totally different distribution by using some tricks. So you upgrading to Debian 10 from 8 will not change what SolusVM says in the panel. Nor will this happen in any other VPS control panel. However, if you have a panel running inside your VM you will see changes if they display the OS information.

I then wanted to continue with my quest today to try and install a Web Server without a panel on Debian 9. I was unsuccessful, but then when I wanted to reinstall the OS in Solus VM I had reached the final number of reinstalls for this month.

If your solution to running into issues is always reinstalling the OS... you won't get really far with that. It's like running away from the issues. Why not actually try to solve the issue and post it here?


Debian 8 was released in 2015. Back in 2015 MySQL was shipped out normally with Linux distributions as there was no big licensing issue (it started slowly though already a few years ago). So given the old age of the distribution, it comes with a lot of old software and software that isn't being shipped anymore nowadays (or has been replaced by better / newer alternatives).


You can remove all installed exim4 packages easily with a single command:

Code: (Select All)

apt-get --purge remove exim4* && apt-get --purge autoremove

The above command should uninstall any exim4 package that is installed and afterward clean up no longer needed software packages that have been installed alongside when exim4 was installed.
