How to tell current version?

General

Hi,
Am I being dumb, or is this not shown anywhere in the GUI? Linux kernel (“Linux: 4.3.3-1”) is shown on every page, but where can I find which version of Rockstor I am running?
Many thanks

@grizzly No not dumb at all, it’s a bug. Occasionally it is shown in the top right of the WebUI but very often not. The work around sometimes is to visit System - Software Update page which if an update is available sometimes provokes the display of the current version above the kernel version you mention.

I have opened a GitHub issue to track development on this bug:- “rockstor version not always visible”.

Please see the screen grab to illustrate the intended behaviour:

The above pic also demonstrates the up-arrow icon to indicate an update is available.

As a work around for now one can tell from the rpm info via:

yum info rockstor

which should show Installed and Available versions eg:

Loaded plugins: changelog, fastestmirror

 * base: mirror.vorboss.net
 * epel: epel.mirrors.ovh.net
 * extras: mirror.vorboss.net
