Bug: Webmin service enable/disable toggle does not stick

[flying-sausages]

~$ sudo systemctl enable webmin
webmin.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install.
Executing: /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable webmin

Might be something about this that makes things weird in the panel. It doesn't "toggle" and stay enabled.

As a consequence Webmin cannot be disabled from the dashboard. See screen recording: https://i.imgur.com/Eur0fji.mp4

Getting the same, thought it might be something local to me, glad to know it's not.

In case anyone with a systemd system comes across this and wants to fix it.

sudo systemctl stop webmin

Create a new file: /etc/systemd/system/webmin.service with your preferred text editor and put the following

[Unit]
Description=Webmin

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/etc/webmin/start
ExecStop=/etc/webmin/stop
ExecReload=/etc/webmin/reload

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then run the following commands:

sudo mv /etc/init.d/webmin /etc/init.d/webmin.save

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl start webmin.service

Now the toggle in the panel should work just fine.

Any update for that fix and it no longer seems to be working.. webmin no longer starts at all

Any update on this I am having same issue

[d3vilsown]

Same problem here...

[liaralabs]

Webmin now ships a systemd service -- this is no longer an issue on the latest webmin.
