Of course, I mean, long ago I used webmin alone on debian to quickly setup a server, when i needed to setup a host, virtualmin came handy, then.
I still tried various things out there in the hope I find something most people can install and not bug me, but, in the end, virtualmin is the winner, better to know well the quirks of one panel instead of more, after all, I have to offer the support in the end :P
+1 for virtualmin , its nice when you need a GUI , but I rarely need one these days .
I now prefer debian and CLI.
I've opened a ticket for Jamie about this one. His concern was that anything communicating with MySQL already would break...but, 90+% of the time the wizard is running on a fresh system, and shouldn't need to worry about that. So, it'll issue a warning but will allow resetting the password. That'll probably be in Virtualmin 6 coming in a week or two.
You can follow that discussion here: https://www.virtualmin.com/node/48108
We've been focusing on usability a lot in recent versions, ever since Ilia joined the team, so we always welcome feedback about what people are finding frustrating. Sometimes, we're just too deep in the thing to recognize when something is intimidating (we've been working on Virtualmin for ~13 years and Webmin for 20, so it's all easy and obvious to us...but that doesn't mean it is actually easy or obvious for everyone).
@SwellJoe
Just to let you know I install MariaDB and set a password before opening my browser to set up Virtualmin and I don't get that bug.
Any chance the Virtualmin HTML5 theme could have some speed improvements? I'm still on the old layout (and perhaps a few other people are too) because it takes a while to load.
Great work and looking forward to v6.
