Stuck on Ubuntu 12.04 (x86_64)

Dev Community Apps & Creations
1

Followed this guide first, then found this guide, and the subsequent easy install ppa.

 

I'm pretty sure it's just that it's too late and I'm missing something incredibly obvious, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to resolve my dependencies.  I might be in some weird inbetween state that I can't figure out how to fix.

 

To make sure I'm doing this right...First I add the repository for the older version of ffmpeg:

 

 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg

 

 

Then libCEC (didn't have it):


 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pulse-eight/pulse

 

 

Then the plexHT repository itself:

 

 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:plexapp/plexht

 

Make sure we're all up to date:

 

sudo apt-get update

 

Then attempt an install:

 

sudo apt-get install plexhometheater

 

But I keep getting this:

 

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

plexhometheater : Depends: libavcodec53 (>= 6:0.10.5~) but it is not going to be installed or

libavcodec-extra-53 (>= 6:0.10.6) but it is not going to be installed

Depends: libavfilter2 (>= 6:0.10.5~) but it is not going to be installed

Depends: libavformat53 (>= 6:0.10.5~) but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

 

I know the repositories were added successfully (or so I think) - here's an ls of my sources list:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  148 Mar 20 00:00 jon-severinsson-ffmpeg-precise.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  148 Mar 20 00:00 jon-severinsson-ffmpeg-precise.list.save
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  132 Mar 20 00:00 plexapp-plexht-precise.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  132 Mar 20 00:00 plexapp-plexht-precise.list.save
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   70 Mar 20 00:00 plexmediaserver.list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   70 Mar 20 00:00 plexmediaserver.list.save

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  140 Mar 20 00:00 pulse-eight-libcec-precise.list.save

 

So is this something mind blowingly simple that I'm missing, or have I gotten into some weird inbetween state?  Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53

sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53

Ah.  I'd tried this before to no avail:

sudo apt-get install libavcodec53

Ran your command, got this:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libavcodec-extra-53 : Depends: libopenjpeg2 but it is not going to be installed

So I ran:

sudo apt-get install libopenjpeg2

Then your original command...which resulted in:

Should I now try to manually continue installing these dependencies one by one?  I'm not sure why my install of Ubuntu is having so much trouble with this, but thanks again in advance for your help!

Just realized I never re-ran your command after fixing my dependencies!  So I ran:

mediacenter@mediacenter:~$ sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53

libavcodec-extra-53 is already the newest version.

Sorry if this is obvious, I managed to make in through the install process however I'm can't find the command to start plex.  Could someone tell me what it is or link me how to find out.  Thanks for the help.

6

Thanks for the excellent information.  This worked perfectly for me.  

7

The instalation went fine, until I tried to run plexHT, and I got this  :wacko: :

~$ plexhometheater.sh
ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exiting
Exiting Plex Media Server queue...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I'm getting the same error when trying to launch.

Enter the following command in your terminal (or create a shortcut in the launcher to run this command):

plexhometheater.sh
10

If you're trying to run this command over SSH instead of on the machine itself, try exporting the display first.  My display runs on 0:0, so I run the following command over SSH to start plex:

export DISPLAY=:0.0 ; plexhometheater.sh
11

is there a way to automatically start plex when it boot and shutdown the pc when you close plex

Save some time...  Add the repositories, update, and then install plexhometheater with all dependencies (-f)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jon-severinsson/ffmpeg

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pulse-eight/pulse

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:plexapp/plexht

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install plexhometheater -f
