If so please edit /etc/default/emby-server and make it the line EB_USER the following: EB_USER="emby" I did this but as soon as I run sudo apt-get install emby-server, it changes /etc/default/emby-server back to "ok" and it fails again. I did a sudo apt-get remove emby-server and it fails with the "ok" user, changed /etc/default/emby-server again to "emby" and I was able to remove the package. I run sudo apt-get install emby-server and the same thing happens again with "ok" as the user name.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Strange. I will try and fix tonight. Ps you don't have to reinstall after changing the username you can just run the service command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ps you don't have to reinstall after changing the username you can just run the service command The issue I have is it's stuck in a loop whenever I run apt-get update now since it sees this as a failed install. I'll just remove emby for now, even after running apt-get purge and starting from scratch I have this issue (Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS) $ sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists...

Xtropy 4 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I ran the command and it says "10 question doesn't exist" referencing /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat I ran: sudo nano /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat There is nothing in this file related to emby ? Oh well... I am having a lot of problems with emby after each release, the PPA this week broke scheduled tasks and GUID errors on plugin setups and now I can't install the program itself. I'll just wait a month or so for this project to mature and the bugs to work themselves out. Thanks for the help, I seem to be the only one with issues for some reason....

JoeyMuyo 4 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) I have the same problem. There are always teething problems in initial release. No matter who does them! I am sure hurricanehernandez will sort it out soon enough. In the meantime I will try and clear the error in apt and post if I get anywhere. EDIT: I should mention emby runs fine if you change the username in /etc/default/emby-server like hurricanehernandez suggested. It is just a matter of getting apt to realise the app is actually installed. Edited May 29, 2015 by JoeyMuyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you change the user to emby in /etc/default/emby-server and run: sudo apt-get purge emby-server it will uninstall the program and then you won't get stuck in the loop every time you run apt-get commands. That was the only way I was able to fix the issue. Once you re-install emby-server, this error will come up with every apt-get command as it's seen as a failed package.

That was the only way I was able to fix the issue. Once you re-install emby-server, this error will come up with every apt-get command as it's seen as a failed package. I just changed the init script, which is only going to be a temporary measure for sure, from: USER=${EB_USER-emby} To: USER=emby This stops it checking the /etc/defaults/emby-server file that has the user listed as "ok" Then running apt-get update && upgrade completes. Obviously this is only until the package is sorted, which won't be long, but it gets rid of the errors and lets you use apt-get. EDIT: The GUID error is still occuring with the plugins though, so that does need sorting too. Edited May 29, 2015 by JoeyMuyo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtropy 4 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Confirmed that changing USER=${EB_USER-emby} to USER=emby is a workaround for this issue. Thanks for the tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricanehrndz 149 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 Okay, I found the error. I'm trying to fix it. I'm not sure why debconf and the templates file stopped working. I'm trying to pinpoint the exact issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejr1212 1 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I recently setup Mediabrowser on an Ubuntu Server. Last night I tried to upgrade to the latest Emby-Server version.

Preparing to unpack .../emby-server_3.0.5621.4.gitf352631_all.deb ...

Had to delete that one file manually to get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
