Install the held-back package

Raspberry Pi4, 4GB

OS: Openhabian, OpenHAB 5.2

For the past few months, the following packages have been blocked with openhabian-config.

The following packages have been kept back:
  linux-headers-rpi-2712 linux-headers-rpi-v8 linux-image-rpi-2712 linux-image-rpi-v8 rpi-eeprom
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.

Can I install these packages via “apt full-upgrade” without causing any problems?

How can I find out which openhabian OS version is installed on my system?

Yes, but you’ll need to reboot to finsih the installation. Those packages are the kernel which is pretty much the only part of Linux that usually requires a reboot to apply.

When you run openhabian-config it should tell you the version of openHABian (i.e. the scripts that set everything up) is running.

When you log into the machine (e.g. over ssh) you should get a bunch of information printed to the terminal. Among those will be the version of the OS that is running. You can also run cat /etc/os-release and it will tell you the name and version of the OS.

Hallo rlkoshak and thank you

I installed the kernel and there were no problems.

With cat /etc/os-release I get:

PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

But I still can’t see which openHABian OS version is installed.

The latest version on GitHub is openHABian v1.12.0b

Like I said above. When you run openhabian-config, it will tell you what version it’s running. If there is a newer version, it will ask if you want to install the newer version. openHABian is completely independent of the operating system.
