curiousā¦wondering is this the correct name for file?
It falls out when looking at the rest nameviseā¦
Yes did a QB update shortly before the system updateā¦
Will you do the commands I listed above and also type source /root/.bashrc and then try to check the upgradePlex once more. The output you listed is not in-line with the output that would be returned from the new upgrade method, which is now dynamic in grabbing and comparing versions.
That is just a default location file. That is correct. However, Plex always lives in /var/lib/plexmediaserver. You may even want to do an apt-get autoremove and apt-get autoclean

TheBox:~#Believe it or not, that result is good. This means weāre not facing a permissions issue - or a dependencies lock.
Do you do also the apt-get autoremove and apt-get autoclean
If so, follow that up with apt -y update && apt -y upgrade
Now weāll start cooking with hot water.
Did all the commands mentioned yes and in that order 
No errors on the apt -y update && apt -y upgrade
No - no errors at allā¦
Can you confirm that your /var/lib/plexmediaserver directory is owned by plex?
Going to interject here a minute. Did something change with the FTP server? Mine is timing out since the upgrade. And it broke Sickrage Oy Vey:scream:
@zorak2, nothing in QuickBox makes adjustments to FTP/SFTP. Please open a new topic in regards to your FTP issues - in most instances, the problem could be between your server and your ISP.
We are currently working on troubleshooting Plex issues at the moment.
Will do, thanks again for your help
@Globber, youāre on Ubuntu right?
I am noticing this Plex issue cropping up on Debian installs but havenāt encountered it on any Ubuntu yet.
Just wanted to say real quick if you need a server to test on let me know and I can set you up a VM

nopes Debian!
Ah, @Grayman is currently experiencing an issue like this where the server is simply not found. Debian as well. I have a Debian machine fired up at the moment, however, I cannot duplicate this issue. On his itās status shows as running. Just no servers to be foundā¦ very odd this Plex this update.
You still have my pm with the credentials for my box so if you want to sneak in at have a looksee I wonĀ“t stop ya
Alright, challenge accepted. Let me finish up one more quick thing and I will have a peek. I will do some comparisons. Not sure if a recent linux update foo-bared or what.
I have this issue in ubuntu 16.04 (Kimsufi). It was working fine, then I recently did an apt-get update/upgrade (one of the things on that list MIGHT have been plex) but now a reinstall of it will not start properly.
Is there some log that gives more detailed info as to WHY it wonāt start with systemctl? I thought about going back to a x.9xx version, but not just yet.
