macarrizo 4 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 HI all, I have a Ubuntu Server that runs Emby 3.5.2.0. Last night I ran sudo do-release-upgrade to upgrade it from 16.04 to 18.04. After the upgrade was completed, I did the obligatory reboot and to my surprise, Emby was gone! I had to download and reinstall Emby. All my media is stored on a NAS and I had my configs backed up thanks to the excellent Back and Restore plugin so restoring my Emby Server was not a huge deal, but it bothers me that the upgrade ate my Emby. Has this happened to anybody else or am I special? Emby rules! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37248 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hi, why exactly do you feel that it was gone? How did you determine that? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macarrizo 4 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Hi Luke, First, the web dashboard did not load, so I figured the Emby service did not start. I run "sudo service emby-server start" and I get a "Failed to start emby-server.service: emby-server not found" or some similar error message. Next I look for the metadata folder and I got as far as /var/lib. There was no /var/lib/emby path. At this point I downloaded the .deb and reinstalled (sudo dpkg -i emby-server-deb-etc) and got a brand new Emby setup. I restored my config, rescanned my media, linked my emby-connect users and now everything is running like before. I don't think I did anything that would have removed Emby, so this is really weird. I was mostly curious if you have seen this happen before. Luckily, no harm was done and it was just a minor inconvenience. The Backup and Restore plugin is awesome and saved me quite a bit of frustration. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37248 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 That's very strange. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troed 0 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I just upgraded from Ubuntu 16.01 to 18.01 using the graphical upgrade program and as its last step it shows what "obsolete packages" are going to be removed. Indeed, 'emby-server' is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
