Until today my PMS has been working fine. Then during a random library update it froze, kernel panic I now know, and I haven’t been able to get it to load since. I have completely wiped and installed fresh versions and still it crashes once it loads and then tries to connect to plex web. I ran verbose mode and the kernel panic listed a type 14=page fault with the BSD process corresponding being “Plex Tuner Serv”. I do not have a Plex Pass so I do not use the DVR or Tuner features. As I stated this only started today and after the crash I cannot even get a fresh install to run without a kernel panic, but without PMS running everything loads fine. Any help with this would be much appreciated.
On a properly running system, a user-land process is incapable of causing a kernel panic. A kernel panic is indicative of a buggy kernel, a buggy driver, faulty hardware, or a combination therein.
Also, a page fault is a completely normal aspect of virtual memory which all modern OSs use. If a kernel fails to resolve that fault, the problem lies in the kernel, not the process that was running. If the process were at fault, the kernel would simply kill that process and move on, not panic.
Thanks, but it was not the ram. The problem only occurred when plex was added to load on start up. The computer ran fine if plex was not started. The problem was ultimately fixed by wiping plex server and doing a clean install.
