Server Version#: plexmediaserver_1.16.6.1592-b9d49bdb7_amd64.deb
Hello,
I’m trying to install a new PMS on an Ubuntu server VM. But the VM becomes completely unresponsive after the installation due to high CPU load and can no longer be accessed via ssh or ESXi remote console. Only reset helps.
What I did:
- Running Ubuntu server 18.04.3 as VM (ESXi)
- Installed plex (sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.16.6.1592-b9d49bdb7_amd64.deb)
- As the VM is no longer accessible after the installation is finished and VM monitoring shown high CPU load, I finally reset the VM (I even waited an hour before resetting).
- Plex is not started. Systemctl status:
lehofer@jakku:~$ systemctl status plexmediaserver.service

- Deleting the database in ‘/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application\ Support/Plex\ Media\ Server/Plug-in\ Support/Databases/’ and restarting PMS makes the VM unresponsive again.
- I tried the steps above several times, always the same result.
- I used PMS before on different VM without issues.
Any idea what’s going on?
