Plex on Proxmox 3.0 Linux, but want to update linux to newer release

I have succefully fumbled my way thru and installed PMC on Proxmox 3.0 Linux server.  I am a windows user, trying to learn linux (so I am a linux n00b).

 

PMC installed relativelty simple.  Here is my step by step process:

 

1. type: apt-get install curl
2. created file plexmediaserver.list in directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d
3. added following entry in plexmediaserver.list file "deb http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/debian squeeze main"
4. type: curl http://shell.ninthgate.se/packages/shell-ninthgate-se-keyring.key | apt-key add -
5. type: apt-get install plexmediaserver
6. answer yes to add additional packages
7. rebooted server

 

I went to the local webpage http://192.168.x.x:32400/web/index.html#!/settings and in ran with no problems.  It plays movies on my connected tv great!

 

I now want to install the pre-release version that is available to me via my plexpass membership. I have downloaded the 9.8.x.deb file but can't figureout the right commands to install the update.  I have searched the forums for how to install an update using linux commands, but can not find the right ones that work.  Can someone point me to a post that might help?

Try dpkg -i packagename.deb

Ok, tried that and got same result before making this post.  It is currently in the /root.  I did type "cd \root" first before trying to install.

dpkg: error processing packagename.deb (--install):
 cannot access archive: No such file or directory
 

Which directory (sub folder) should I place the packagename.deb file in?

Thanks for your help (and knowledge)!

just to clarify here is this on the actual proxmox server or a VM within it? What linux distro are you running?

Thought I have the packagename.deb in the root folder, but it wasn’t (my bad, -noob). So moved it, and then updated plex. Unfortunately, now it doesn’t work work now on pre-release members only .deb version. Not sure how to even begin to fix. Guess I will try and back it off and go back to working stable state. Thanks for your help ZIGGiMon.

Ryan, I have it running in the linux server, not in a VM, not under windows.  I used winscp to edit the sources.list file, then used putty to apt-get the package/install.

I am running the latest Proxmox distro: pve-manager: 3.0-23 (pve-manager/3.0/957f0862)
