OS: Debian 10  
Webmin Version: 1.984  
Virtualmin Version: 6.17-3   
It’s on a clean installation of Debian 10 netinstall, with Ondrej Sury’s PHP repo, and MariaDB’s repo added afterwards.

```auto
curl -LsS https://r.mariadb.com/downloads/mariadb_repo_setup | sudo bash

```

On the first setup wizard, MariaDB configuration fails on the setup step (Default, Large, etc.) with this error:

```auto
Failed to get properties: Unit name mariadb-extra@.socket is neither a valid invocation ID nor unit name.
Failed to get properties: Unit name mariadb@.socket is neither a valid invocation ID nor unit name

```

This error also happens when MariaDB configuration is changed from Webmin (altering the max packet size, etc.).

That’s external added repo, hence don’t do this… I can confirm that SQL is working on Debian 10 and 11 without any mods… I’ve just upgraded 9 so I am using mariadb which is actually replacement for SQL… working exactly same no issues

No it isn’t. Please read the docs. Install Virtualmin on a clean OS. Then add whatever other packages you need to change after installation.
