How to Fix Plex Media Server Startup Issues on Kubuntu 15.04

init.dplex

I have recently installed plexmediaserver 64-bit from the plex site on my Kubuntu 15.04 laptop and am unable to start. I believe it is in the change from how init scripts work?

If you look at the guide for Plex it says to execute /etc/init.d/plexmediaserver start once you have installed it for the first time.

It appears that /etc/init.d/plexmediaserver is an invalid symlink or something?

Not sure where to go to help troubleshoot this…

The above script was already on my system and it still was not working. Upgrading to 0.9.12.4.1192 fixed all issues with systemd.
