fc7 123 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) I just released a new package revision for Debian/Ubuntu that should fix the startup scripts issues. I could only test with Ubuntu 14.04 fresh install so please if anyone out there can try the new packages and give some feedback I will really appreciate it. These are only package revisions to fix the problems reported in this thread, they are not a new Emby release. Thanks.

LongDono 3 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Thanks. I gave it a go on my existing install and the new package doesn't work properly. During installation, there were two errors about prerm not being found (during subsequent reinstall, these errors did not appear). The issue is that, after the server was re-started, the installer ceases to output anything else and doesn't respond to anything, even ctrl-c. I closed the SSH connection and reconnected to the server. Tried to run the upgrade again, but it said the files were still locked (previous process didn't close when I disconnected). I ran "sudo service emby-server stop" and tried the upgrade again, this time it said there were no files to upgrade, so it seems like the installer is starting the server and then not continuing itself until the server is shutdown. I rebooted the system and emby server did not automatically start. At that point I uninstalled emby-server and reinstalled it. Setting up emby-server (3.0.5713.0.git0ddcbaf) ... * Starting emby-server daemon [ OK ] It once again hung, so I opened another SSH session and shut emby-server down... Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-0ubuntu6.6) ... me@myserver:~$ ...after which, the installer resumed and finished. I restarted the server and emby-server still doesn't start on reboot. It still starts with the usual "sudo service emby-server start". Thank you for your efforts, ...Donovan Edited August 22, 2015 by LongDono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fc7 123 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 @LongDono: how did you upgrade? It seems you are install Emby 3.0.5713 (latest beta) while you should be installing 3.0.5675.1 (latest stable). There should be two different packages: emby-server (3.0.5675.2) which is the latest stable and emby-server-beta (3.0.5713) which is a whole different package. And you should be getting emby-server package and not emby-server-beta. If this is the case then something is broken/wrong with the build system. I will look into it when I have some time.

fc7 123 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 It is possible that there was a problem with the repo. I think I fixed now but you may need to remove emby-server-beta (that is the version that I think you got) and install again emby-server. Other people updating shouldn't face this problem and they should stay with emby-server (3.0.5675.2) but just a new revision. Sorry for the inconvenience.

fc7 123 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Just update the package like you update any other packages. $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade emby-server Or update all your packages: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaves 13 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Just update the package like you update any other packages. $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade emby-server Having posted originally regarding the 140+ updates I have been following this thread, the above works, installs all the updates previously listed with no errors and Emby starts.

LongDono 3 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Since my emby and kodi setup is currently broken (can't stream files from Kodi anymore), decided to look into fixing this again. It is possible that there was a problem with the repo. I think I fixed now but you may need to remove emby-server-beta (that is the version that I think you got) and install again emby-server. An attempt to remove emby-server-beta shows nothing to remove, so that does not appear to have been the case. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work because it wasn't trying to replace the broken existing files. I renamed them in case they were needed, and sure enough, after a reinstall, all upstart could find was embyserver.old, from the old /etc/init.d/embyserver.old, that had renamed. I tried purging the conf files and had to update from GIT because of a missing file. I really don't understand why the system needs files manually provided like this, when updating the package should supply any and all necessary files; I assume it was because of errors with the original package.

GSSA1 0 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 So Today I downloaded and installed Emby Server. It doesn't run the service start command. Did you people come-up with the fix? Is it in the package? What's a good command for a first run service start? "sudo service emby-server start" returns "e: unable to locate package start" Would a shut down/restart help on a first run? {KODIBUNTU 14.04.2; KODI 15.2; KERNEL 3.19.6 CHROMEBOX WITH HASWELL, 2GB} EVERYTHING IS A FRESH INSTALL. Thanks for any help for this Noob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 On a brand new fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.3 today upstart is not working and emby will not start normally. This fix required changing the ownership of /usr/lib/emby-server recursively to {USER}:{USER} chmod the emby-server.sh file to 775 After this the upstart seems to work. /usr/lib will require special permission where opt did not. If I knew more about the package install process I would try to help more but hopefully that will help who ever is maintaining it now. Its great to have upstart handeling the server. The auto restart will be helpful. Copy and paste commands: ( you will have to change emby:emby if your not running emby as the user emby. ) sudo chown -R emby:emby /usr/lib/emby-server/ sudo chmod 775 /usr/lib/emby-server/emby-server.sh Thanks for this feedback, sorry I didn't see it before. I was on vacation at the time. I know we remove ownership of the files emby to root because of packaging standards wasn't aware that it caused this issue. I think it might be a typo in the scripts though, because emby's home directory is suppose to be /var/lib/emby-server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSSA1 0 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I'm fixing this stuff in the beta package. Can I ask you try that instead once I'm done. HI Hurricane I am about to install server on another chromebox. Did you want me to "try" something from the Beta you are working on? I know little, but I am willing to help if I can. You were helping me a bit last week, but I never did get emby to use my media. So I am starting over on another box. LMK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 One sec, I will ensure the beta package is at least up to date with stable. And yes I would love to know if the upstart script works. It should, i tested it on a 14.04 system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Actually try the dev package. I can't figure out the version beta is supposed to be at, but it behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSSA1 0 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Well I installed the latest stable, but I haven't done anything with it yet. I can remove it and reinstall the dev, or , if you think it can be "upgraded to the dev, just tell me what to do. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanehrndz 149 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Just run apt-get install emby-server-dev if you want to go back afterwards run apt-get install emby-server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
