Bugs

#1

Hello everybody,

I just found QuickBox and I find it wonderful! Thank you all!

I have a little problem with Plex Request.NET that does not work. I conducted several test and resettlement before my machine and it worked. But now it no longer works. The “Service status” turns red, and I’m the install / uninstall or do a “Refresh”, impossible to launch the …

It connects to the port 3000 and have the page: “Connection failed”

When I try to run it via ssh with “mono PlexRequests.exe” I have this error message:

Starting Up! Please wait, this can usually take A Few seconds.
Version: 1.9.0
Location of the database: /opt/plexrequests/PlexRequests.sqlite
Error loading kind TypeSpec from 0x1b000036 due to Could not resolve TypeSpec token 1b000036

Thank you for your help.

#2

Could you tell me what the output of systemctl status plexrequests is.

Please wrap the output in </> (code brackets) - you may additionally highlight the text and do Ctrl+Shift+C on your keyboard.

Yes, of course, I have this message:

Does it come back to active status after doing systemctl restart plexrequests

Also, are you on Debian or Ubuntu?

#5

No, this command changes nothing. I still have the error message and Plex Request does not.

I’m on debian.

#6

Can you check your apache logs to see if there is an error present within. I had this confirmed with a beta tester that they have this same issue on a Debian install… so it seems this is isolated to Debian only as Ubuntu installs are fine.

Try to also toggle the service off on your dashboard (if the switch says Enabled). Had you done any apt-get updates/upgrades recently?

#7

Bahhh… don’t worry, I have swith to Ubuntu and it’s work perfectly!

Thanks you JMSolo

#8

Glad Ubuntu sorted you out. Nonetheless, I appreciate your report on this. I am going to spend some time later this afternoon replicating and troubleshooting this issue.

#9

I’m wondering if it could be a mono issue, similar to the Jackett issues recently experienced by some

#10

same issue here on my Deb install

Hey @globber,

Can you test a few things for me?

Please ensure your system is totally up to date:

apt update
apt upgrade

Then please ensure your mono packages are totally installed:

apt install mono-complete mono-devel

And please try running plexrequests again

Just ran some test against this and that is what was happening.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mono-complete : Depends: mono-devel (= 4.4.2.11-0xamarin1) but it is not going to be installed

After updating/upgrading was completed I can confirm that Plex Requests is now running without issue.

It looks like we need to address this on the installer:

  apt-get update -q >/dev/null 2>&1
  apt-get install -q -y mono-complete unzip >/dev/null 2>&1
#13

I dislike mono. That is a shit-ton of extra depends :expressionless:

Edit: Wait – upgrades? Seems more like their repo is slightly borked more than anything. Sigh. I will add mono-devel for those few extra depends that are holding back the upgrade/install of mono-complete

I agree. Just about everything you can imagine.

Edit: yes, all 150 of them

Well I guess complete should be “complete” Ah well.

#16

Still want me to fire your commands or wait a bit?

#17

No need as I think we have a handle on this.

box upgrade

and try again :slight_smile:

After the

I ran box again and removed and reinstalled

Do me a favor @Globber and run the following:
