Server Version#: 1.43.0.10492 Player Version#: N/A Linux Mint 21.1 Vera x86_64 Kernel 5.15.0-171 Updated to Plex Server 1.43.0.10492 using downloaded .deb file. No start on the service with immediate core dump on every attempt. Attempted to revert back to 1.42, but still core dumped every start.…

I’m pretty sure Mint is not a Plex supported platform.

It’s built on Ubuntu, just a different GUI. That shouldn’t cause any issues with the 1.43.0 update.

Well it ran fine for 3 years until this version. No time currently to rebuild right now. Going to have to wait.

Do you have your server logs ? maybe there’s something in there. Please provide ALL the info you can so we can help. you might have a damaged DB – which can be resolved

try tossing it into a docker, sometimes buffers against OS compatibilities: https://hub.docker.com/r/plexinc/pms-docker/

I’ll take another backup this weekend and try a few things. If it goes sideways again I’ll remember to pull the core dump down before I restore.

EDIT: Instead of pulling log files, download and run DBRepair for Plex Media Server . It will check for database structural problems and attempt to correct any it finds. It will also optimize the database in the process. # Download latest version. # This overwrites any existing version. Remove …

DBRepair found errors in the fts4_metadata_titles and fts4_metadata_titles_icu and was able to repair them. Subsequent update to 1.43 was successful. I’ll keep and eye on it the next few days. Thanks for the help. I’ll plan on moving it to a Ubuntu install in the future.

Mint is not supported.

Saying it’s built on Ubuntu doesn’t cut it. I can’t tell you how many have tried.
I’ve spent hours debugging Mint without success hence why it’s not supported
Once they go to Ubuntu or Debian, all is well .
