JonF 0 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 I'm not much of a Linux guy, but I had an old laptop so I installed Ubuntu on it and have been running it as a dedicated Emby server for a couple of years. Yesterday I took a look at it and there was an update. I installed it. Now when I go go to localhost:8096 I get localhost:8096:/web/index.html. I seem to recall there was an issue with that, but don't remember what. None of the menus or links do anything. If I go to localhost:8096 again I get "localhost refused to connect". I uninstalled: sudo apt-get remove emby-server and reinstalled, but immediately got the same thing. Help, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37109 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi there, are you sure emby server is started and running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonF 0 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 Well it definitely is now. I did: sudo service emby-server restart systemctl status emby-server and got "Active (running)". Still no reaction on the dashboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonF 0 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Made sure it was stopped, then: sudo service emby-server start &> start.txt And then it was running. start.txt is blank. Edited October 30, 2020 by JonF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucryd 216 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) You won't get any output from launchaing the service, if you want to have more you need to launch it by hand: sudo -u emby /opt/emby-server/bin/emby-server You should probably upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu though, it won't kill your laptop or be any slower, and you'll have systemd instead of upstart to manage your services.

alucryd 216 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Wait, you do have systemd, you said you managed to run systemctl? Then you shouldn't use service, but systemctl to start the service: sudo systemctl restart emby-server sudo systemctl status emby-server Maybe reboot before doing that because you probably messed it up running it using service first.

Luke 37109 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 @JonF has this helped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonF 0 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share Posted November 1, 2020 It appears to be fixed. I upgraded Ubuntu to 20.4. I haven't tested everything, but auto starting the server, managing the server, and playback on a client are working. The only loss appears to be that tap-to-click is noticeably less sensitive and it's now hit-to-click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
