How do I roll back to the prior (last stable) version of Plex? Is it even possible? The latest update has broken my remote access and I am going out of town next week! It would be nice if the interface had an option to do just this for circumstances such as this. I’m running plex on ubuntu 18.04 with IPV6 disabled in plex and in ubuntu.
Rolling back on Windows works as follows:
- note down your current Plex Server software version
- Stop Plex Server using its tray icon.
- uninstall Plex Server with the regular ‘Apps’ control panel of Windows. Do not use 3rd party ‘uninstaller’ software like Revo etc. Do not use Registry cleaners/optimizers.
- go to your Plex data folder .
There is a subfolder in there, namedUpdateswhich will contain previous versions of the installer .exe - execute the installer for the previous software version
- reboot Windows (just a safety measure, it may work without rebooting as well)
Found this on google, try it out.

Sorry, just saw you were on linux, try this.
sudo dpkg -i packagename.deb
Look in /var/cache/apt/archives
Thanks - I will give that a try.
No luck - I check the archive location listed above and did not see anything resembling plex. Does any one recall what the ubuntu plex package naming convention is? Perhaps I could do a search for that file name?
To properly change version on Linux:
- Uninstall the package – Do not purge
- Install the new desired lower version.
The installer sees the existing installation and uses it as-is.
If you can take some time and help me understand the problem, you might be able ro leave it as is (with correction for the issue) so you can go out of town without downgrading.
