Arch Linux User Repository

removing the profile in the /root directory fixed the problem :) it was rm -r /root/var

Ok it appears to just be one of my computers that doesnt run plex.... No idea what to do now...nothing much in the log

Cool thanks! I still get the same error though, I removed plexmediaserver and made sure I deleted all left over files: /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/ /etc/conf/plexmediaserver and the log file, installed again and same error, trying on a different PC now

hey jrussell, as I already informed you by mail, I've changed the installscript to handle correctly shutdown of the plexmediaserver, before installation gets started. I think some libraries of plexmediaserver did not got replaced with new one in the package. Give it a shoot and mail back. rc.d scripts got removed and systemd is required for installation by now.

Cant run plex after updating: plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server for Linux Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service; enabled) Active: failed (Result: core-dump) since Sun 2013-02-24 15:13:08 SAST; 1min 2s ago Process: 4979 ExecStart=/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/start.sh (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 4986 (code=dumped, signal=ABRT) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/plexmediaserver.service Feb 24 15:13:08 russell-server systemd[1]: Starting Plex Media Server for Linux...

you need to set a loginshell for the user. usermod -s /bin/bash plexmediaserver and it should work.

@epitron whoops, sorry about that, fixed now

Could someone help me get this to run as its own user? so far I have run: useradd -d /usr/lib/plexmediaserver -M -s /bin/false -U plexmediaserver chown -R plexmediaserver:plexmediaserver /usr/lib/plexmediaserver chmod -R 755 /usr/lib/plexmediaserver I changed the user in /etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver from root to plexmediaserver, but trying to start it now with systemctl I get: systemctl start plexmediaserver.service Job for plexmediaserver.service failed. See 'systemctl status plexmediaserver.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
