Hi,
did you try using virtualmin instead of just webmin. Virtualmin is a combination of webmin and virtual enabled servers where it helps you to install FCGID as well.
There is a standard installation script available on webmin site for virtualmin gpl installation on ubuntu 32 bit. It will work out of the box. I recommend you to have that a go =)

In order to not have to enter FTP details every update, you need to be running the app as the user, not nobody. So you should use fastcgi or suphp, or similar.

I have only updated WP from the WP admin panel and as stated above, you must use a php handler that runs scripts as the user instead of nobody.

Change the owner of the files to the user running the web server. www-data in most cases. Chmod -R www-data:www-data /root directory of the site

you have installed the WP from SSH, so your files and folders must be having this user as owner. change the owner and change the files and folder permission to 0755 and 0644.
