[Ubuntu 17.10] Repo not available

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

After upgrading my server to Artful, the repo stopped working. I guess I should have waited a bit more and someone is already working on it, but just in case:

echo deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb ./public main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb ./public main curl https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key | sudo apt-key add -

I am having this same issue. Anyone have a solution?

3

Same thing here, any update?

4

This is an issue with Ubuntu. It was discovered when apt was being tested prior to release of 17.10.
All other Debian-based distributions are working correctly with the repo

5

Whos working on this issue? Is there anything we ca do about it in the meanwhile?

@ChuckPA not sure if this is the specific bug you were referring to:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful/+source/debian-archive-keyring/+bug/1685305

7

Meanwhile in plex pass/beta land… I’m still using a plex-update script/cron job because I’m not aware of any PPA for auto updating beta versions. :frowning: Am I ignorant and the beta packages have been added to a PPA?

Bug #1685305 “Debian keys should not be trusted by default” : Artful (17.10) : Bugs : debian-archive-keyring package : Ubuntu

The PMS repo for debian/ubuntu is not password protected. The bug I refer to is what surfaced with apt version 1.5 . It was incorrectly looking only for the new repo structure instead of looking for both formats.

Do you know if there is a launchpad bug open for that?

10

No I do not. I unfortunately don’t have time to keep current with all the distributions and their bugs.

11

Any news? I still have the same issue.

12

There is no Plex issue here. It’s Ubuntu

13

No, it’s not “Just Ubuntu”

Download links are down for some reason today:

https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb ( no such path )

you can only direct access them via the wget url. I just tried your link (wget -c one) and it immediately downloads

15

The PPA is still broken, and artful is now the current most stable Ubuntu offering.

Is there a timeline for a fix?

16

I am now working directly with the team.

may I have help quantifying the exact issues please?
Console output is important so I can also reproduce.

17

after adding the repo in ubuntu server 17.10 as outlined here:

https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/235974187-Enable-repository-updating-for-supported-Linux-server-distributions

i get the same console output as youri after running apt update:

Check your repo definition statement again as I am still getting.

As additional information, there is no InRelease reference

20

the content of my

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list

is

deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb ./public main

same as yours. or do you mean something else with repo definition statement?
