[Readynas Pro] Plex update refuses to Install
(Readynas OS6 6.9.4. Hotfix 1, still on this version because of an adapted kernel to get vpn working)
Hi There!
Since this morning, i was updating my readynas and all, i wanted to import the newest release of Plex Media Server on my NAS (1.16.5.1554), downloaded the *.deb file and installed it in Frontview, wich came up with an error "could not install plexmediaserver"
The Old version does not start up anymore either :(
the attatched Screenshot shows putty with an print of the "journalctl -p err -b"command, i dont know why he cant find the apps folder ( or parse?) since it is still where it belongs.
I also tried apt-get -f install, that got me another bunch of errors from dpkg, see the other screenshot. (2nd post, can only upload one on this post)
Thanks for any help!
is there anyone who knows how to fix this?
Well, Got it working! after some help, we discovered that python-urllib3 was the problem,
This one made it recover :
apt-get -m --reinstall install python python-minimal dh-python dpkg --configure -a
After that, those erros where gone, and Plex installe dlike a charm, so i guess this would answer for every problem like this, not only Plex.
Thanks for your time to read my problem!
