Plex will not upgrade

Hi

Long time ago I install plex media server on a virtual machine Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS. Its been working great for years but recently (last 2 plex versions updates) when I run the command to update ubuntu, it does not update plex. I check the plexmediaserver.list.distupgrade and its has the right information. The web page tell me there is an update available but it will not install, how could i fix it?

Have you tried downloading it and installing it manually?

how can i do that from the command prompt?

This is assuming that you’ve installed it locally on the Ubuntu system itself and not in a container. https://support.plex.tv/articles/200288586-installation/ The install will just upgrade the previous installation.

Do you mind posting the contents of the plexmediaserver.list.distupgrade file? I suspect it was renamed/disabled after a major os upgrade in your VM.

deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/plexmediaserver.gpg] https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public main

Here you go:

wget https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server-new/1.41.7.9799-5bce000f7/debian/plexmediaserver_1.41.7.9799-5bce000f7_amd64.deb

dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.41.7.9799-5bce000f7_amd64.deb

Thank you
