After resetting my password, I was unable to connect to PMS on a UBUNTU 20.xx server. The command systemctl status plexmediaserver showed a failure:

Checking the logs showed that there was an IP Port conflict:
Aug 24, 2022 20:13:12.579 [0x7f2ebd518b60] ERROR - Error: Unable to set up server: listen: Address in use (N5boost10wrapexceless ‘Plex Media Server.1.log’
using ps aux | grep Plex showed a number of plex processes running and kill didn’t stop them, it was wack-a-more due to SNAP restarting them.
So, I removed snap and used apt install to install the latest PMS and it was able to run without conflict. However, I am now into hour 20 of a DB rebuild, music is done but movies and TV are still being upgraded. What a pain!
Anyone else having issues with SNAP? I’m guessing I was just lucky, the reset email, snap updating PMS and wham.
