Oh, now thatâs an interesting installation.

Question: Did you install the Ubuntu SNAP package or from Plex.tv/downloads ?
Beginning to wonder if you installed the wrong one.
Itâs all starting to drive me crazy 
this was my istallation: sudo apt-get install plexmediaserver
If it would be possible for you, could I also offer you Teamviewer or something else?
Open a terminal window.
if you have /var/snap/plexmediaserver/common/Library then you got the snap package installed. sudo snap list will confirm that.
If you have anything else you will have /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library.
dpkg -l | grep plexm will confirm if you have the native package installed.
Please let me know what you have
root@vmd122137:~# sudo snap list
sudo: snap: command not found
root@vmd122137:~# dpkg -l | grep plexm
ii plexmediaserver 1.32.7.7621-871adbd44 amd6 4 Plex organizes all of your personal media so you can easily access and enjoy it.

No snaps are installed yet. Try âsnap install hello-worldâ.
Is Ubuntu the host OS & bare metal on the hosts computer
-or-
Is this a Ubuntu VM ? If it is a VM, what is the host OS?
I am asking because 2 things still do not make sense.
- hostname
vmd122137- this is a very unusual host name root:x:0:plex- plex is not usually in the root group whenrenderexists.
@ChuckPa , it is a VM from Provider Contabo (VPS)
if the sn does not fit, could you recommend an alternative?
maybe I should take a higher Ubunut version, I currently have 20.04?
Now Iâm understanding a bit better.
There is something about how Ubuntu is installed in the VM which doesnât work well.
Theyâve changed things which should not be changed.
Can you install a stock Ubuntu image on the VPS yourself?
(download the ISO from Ubuntu and install it)
If not, can they give you a stock Ubuntu installation without the things theyâve done to it?
Donât know the reviews on this oneâŠ
Google search âLinux VPS providersâ provides a nice list to choose from.
ok, have now reinstalled the VM. Do you want 20.04 or Higher Ubuntu?
If you have teams, I can also send them my contact details.
Ubuntu 20.04 or Ubuntu 22.04 is fine.
I do prefer you stay with the LTS (20.04 or 22.04) releases (Even numbered years)
Odd-numbered years automatically expire in April of the following year.
Ok is installed, what should I do now?
Download plex from http://plex.tv/downloads
x86_64 (64 bit Intel) - Ubuntu/Debian (.deb) package
Put that file on the server in your home directory
sudo dpkg -i put_the_filename_here.deb
It will install a fresh server.
Now, because youâre remote to it, can you handle a SSH tunnel to the server to claim it or do you need my claiming tool or are you ok with using curl manually ?
i have now installed the i386 verison

You want the 64 bit version. You have a 64 bit processor.
Youâre wasting a huge portion of the CPU power.
Sorry my bad, i have reinstall the new version with 64bit.
