Emby won't start after reboot..

[snorkel 15]

Ok, I ran apt-get update then apt-get upgrade and there was a kernel update so I did it with apt-get dist-upgrade then rebooted and

now the emby init won't start the server:

Any ideas, I don't see any log in /var/log?

Ran the server directly and it's throwing an exception:

[Luke 42078]

can you please capture the full and complete console output? thanks.

[snorkel 15]

Luke, that was all the output.

[snorkel 15]

I used the prior kernel and it works again.

I did a dist-upgrade as a new kernel was available with security updates likely for meltdown/spectre.

[Luke 42078]

Thanks for the feedback.

[snorkel 15]

Luke,

The problem was this:

http://www.hauppauge.com/site/support/linux.html

 

I have two hauppauge tuners in my Linux server so I installed according to the directions above.

it pulls down a slightly older kernel with the media tree stuff already installed.

 

Not sure why emby would have a problem with this kernel, could it have been trying to load the drivers?  I did not give the emby user rights to the drivers as it indicates to do for plex.      I know you guys added the hauggpauge support for windows, maybe it's related to that?

 

I just downgraded to the prior kernel and everything seems fine.

[Luke 42078]

I'm really not sure, and no, the windows features wouldn't affect this. 

[dcrdev 255]

Depends on how that kernel is configured -

/usr/src/linux-<kver>/.config

To be honest you'd be better off building that module into the mainline Ubuntu kernel.

[snorkel 15]

It is a main line kernel, just not one from the LTS stack.

When I ran the server from the command line

The output was minimal but it did raise an exception that I posted.

 

Prior to emby I ran Plex on that kernel and the drivers worked fine as did Plex.

 

I can't check anything else right now as that kernel is now gone from my server.

I have this same issue.  Emby was working fine, bought a Happauge tuner, installed as per directions, now Emby won't start.  Getting the exact same exception.

It's not exactly clear to me what steps I need to take to resolve this issue.  How can I switch to a kernel that will play nicely with Emby?  And if I do so, will I lose the ability to use the Happauge tuner?

[Luke 42078]

This is arch linux? do you have sqlite installed?

[Nelkins 0]

Ubuntu 18.04

[Luke 42078]

So it was starting before?

[Nelkins 0]

Yup. No issues prior to following the Happauge driver installation instructions.

[Luke 42078]

Can you try installing the emby package again over the top? Thanks.
