As you can see, I can’t recreate it. I just did it again.

What’re the differences here? I have a stock installation in the VM for dev & QA purposes.

Just informing I’m gettting the same issue here. Tried to delete the key, and redo all the steps but the error message persist. Let me know if you need me to test anything.

Plex: Version 1.18.2.2058
Running on Ubuntu 19.04.

For the sake of this debugging, I deleted and recreated Ubuntu 19.04
Below, mistakes included, is my terminal session output.

I cannot reproduce the error on X86_64.

I do get Unknown in the uid section here, and I see from another similar issue that you’ve said that it is not supposed to be Unknown? I’ve tried to delete the key and re-add it, but the result is the same.

If there is an update which is looking for something not provided then I will make it a priority to get it added.

We just need to identify it.

I also see “Unknown” however it did not impede installation

I’m in no rush, so for all i know this will sort itself out. :slight_smile: Let me know if you need more input. Last resort for me is to just reinstall and see if that solves the issue.

12

I’ve forwarded to the build team (which I work with part time).
I’m asking their input as they are the custodians of the certificates.

Right now started update & upgrade on my server.
WTF??? Without problem - got latest updates.

Very strange …

Retry.

I’m suspecting there might be a corrupt file out on one of the cloud systems.

It would help to know which basic georegion folks are. NA - East/West, EU - West, Central, East, etc

Ukraine, East Europe

Looks fixed, thanks a lot
