Issues installing/Uninstalling Plex - Post Script Issue -RN3138

I have a RN3138 which is currently on OS 6.7.5. 

 

I am currently having an issue in which I can not get PLEX to update. 

I got a link in my Plex server that an update was ready.  I clicked on the link and downloaded the file (plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries_1.5.7.4016-25d94bad9_amd64.deb).  I went into apps, as I have done before, and tried to upload the file.  It gave me an error.  I then went to www.plex.tv/downloads and downloaded the latest update they had on their website (plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries_1.7.4.4017-3886b5c85_amd64.deb) and same issue. 

 

I then tried uninstalling the app from the admin page thinking I might have a conflict issue.  This led to another failure, this time the system said it could not uninstall the app. 

 

Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.  I have looked at the logs and appear that I have some "half-configured" installs, although I don't know if that is the issue or not.  

 

Thank you in advance.

      It may have just been a typo... but you're installing 1.5.7 over 1.7.4? I recall 1.7.5 is the latest bulid, as I upgraded to it on my 528X running 6.7.5 just recently. I'm also not sure why cacti would be installing when you request to install PLEX.

       

      In the newer OS releases, the old instalation file in /var/log/readynas is no longer used. Perhaps try looking for the log entries using

       

      journalctl --identifier=fv-app-install

        Cacti I tried installing a couple months back.  It gave me an error, and I gave up on it.  So I find it weird also that that is happening.   Any way for me to clean that out?
