ReadyNAS Pro 6 on OS 6.7.4 - Plex will no longer start
Hi all, - just tried updating Plex to the latest from plex.tv
1.5.6.3790-4613ce077
May 9, 2017
Using Pro6 on OS6 6.7.4 and Plex no longer starts. I see nothing for plex in /etc/init.d (not sure if that's normal) but it appears something may have changed on 6.7.4 for Apps or App Installs... any ideas?
Tried sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade, that didn't seem to fix it. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts?
Thanks.
Checked all the logs with:
journalctl
Seemed to be an abnormally high amount of locale errors so I did:
journalctl | grep locale

Noticed the problem started when I installed Java 8. Plex errors also showed here as (bolded below):

So I ran:
dpkg --list
dpkg --remove plexmediaserver-ros6-binaries
cat /etc/locale.conf
cat: /etc/locale.conf: No such file or directory
cat /etc/locale.gen
touch /etc/locale.conf
vi /etc/locale.conf pasted in:
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales (typed 146 enter)
1. None 2. C.UTF-8 3. en_US.UTF-8
Chose: 3 (enter)
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
en_US.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
Re-installed Plex in frontview, installed OK
Flipped the switch to Enable or Turn on Plex... toggling modal spinner came up (which it wasn't before)
Plex stayed enabled!!!! Problem solved. Plex now works and seemed to be due to the locale issues since I installed Java 8.

Hello givememynameba,
How about remove the Plex app you have and then download the one for Intel 6.x from https://www.plex.tv/downloads/ once done, do the update via SSH?
Regards,
That is the one I downloaded and installed intel 6.x from plex.tv.
