Any help will be appreciated thanks Would you care to elaborate? What distro are you using? How are you attempting to install the server. Is it failing on startup or is it simply that the package manager is failing? Please see http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/739-how-to-report-a-problem/.

two wire 2 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 Thanks, for the reply and sorry for the lack of detail. I was viewing my server's terminal this morning while I was trying to figure this issue out and noticed this on the screen: sudo: unknown user: Jerry sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin chown invalid user: 'Jerry So, now I'm thinking this is the root of the problem. I very seldom look at the server's terminal, and therefore, did not notice this before on prior installation attempts. All I saw on on my laptop was an indication of "unable to initialize policy" and "PID not created - installation failed." I have no idea as to what this means and this was the reason for my post. I used PhAzE's plug in to install the server app, and was required to enter some setup information near the end of the installation. I don't know if this info was required by the app or it was something PhAzE required. Anyway, I need to find out why I'm an invalid user. I'm going to make another attempt of another installation using a different name later. A thought just occurred to me. I am currently using MB Theater with a Windows server installation. I'm wondering if there is any connection between the two servers (Windows, Linux) and the names not being the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
