PMS won't start after upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04

Plex Media Server
24

Holy hell..

That’s important.

Stop the presses!!!

I’m willing to bet you don’t have /mnt/plexdata nounted with exec privilege. ???

Time to fix this the right way.

  1. With PMS stopped
  2. Remove the symlink
  3. Recreate /var/lib/plexmediaserver and set owner plex:plex
    ( Required to have a real $HOME directory )
  4. Create:
    – /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d/override.conf
  5. Contents:
[Service]
Environment="PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/mnt/plexdata/Library/Application Support"
  1. EDIT the /etc/fstab line for /mnt/plexdata . ADD ,exec option

Confirm the path above. Adjust as appropriate.
