Using an up-to-date Windows 10 system as host and Virtualbox 5.0.20 I created and configured a virtual Ubuntu 16.04 LTS client. No problem. I booted the Ubuntu 16.04 virtual client (no problem) and installed (from scratch) Webmin 1.801. Everything worked fine excepted that when I tried initially to browse (with firefox) I had to add a security exception to access https://localhost:10000 using https.
After that Webmin 1.801 opened inside the browser, no problem. I updated a few packages (through webmin), no problem. I was advised (from webmin) after the update to reboot. I rebooted.
At this point the boot failed to complete and I was left hanging. The boot console log was as follows (several lines before the point of failure).
[Log removed]
The Ubuntu client restarted, no boot errors were seen and the problem was gone … as, alas was webmin. I have retired this same procedure 3 times, each time with the same result. It appears that Webmin 1.801 and Ubuntu 16.04 do not play well together.
Any ideas anyone?
