PMS not running through snap Ubuntu 24.04

Plex Media Server

Server Version#:1.43.0.10467-2b1ba6e69
Player Version#:N/A
<If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled>

PMS installed as a snap on Ubuntu 24.04 worked fine until today, was working last night. Today I am unable to see it in any of my players, unable to browse https://localhost:32400 on the server. SSO I uninstalled & reinstalled. snap saved a backup of my data as snap restore 26. After reinstall, plex was once again listening on 32400:

root@Rez-Plex:~# netstat -an | grep -i listen|grep 32400
tcp6 0 0 :::32400 :::* LISTEN

Did a snap restore 26, and my data was restored. After restore, pms was once again not listening of 32400. I realize I could just do the fresh install, but then plex would lose all my media sources, lose all my watched data, etc. SO I need help getting this working again. Glad to provide any info necessary.

The snap log showing failure:

snap.plexmediaserver.plexmediaserver.service

Failed to start snap.plexmediaserver.plexmediaserver.service - Service for snap application plexmediaserver.plexmediaserver.

Also PMS shows ‘license unset’, as a Plex Pass member, should I do something to change this?

I had already rebooted about 6 times, rebooted a 7th and it started working, go figure.
