I followed the guidelines in this post - @ - but it seems that this has brought about a new problem, I can no longer update plex due to the error "E: The package plexmediaserver needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it." This is a very annoying problem as I am unable to open Synaptic due to the same error, can someone please find a fix for this.

Download it from here: https://plex.tv/downloads. Then do `sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver-[whichever version].deb`. Then, `sudo dpkg --configure -a` and dpkg will probably stop complaining. – Jos May 01 '15 at 20:45

That didn't seem to work, it put this out after the second command - http://pastebin.com/VgHmE9Dg – Jonathan May 01 '15 at 21:01

The server is built to be controlled by Upstart. Your 15.04 system does no longer use Upstart but uses Systemd instead. Create a `plexmediaserver.service` file as described [here](http://askubuntu.com/questions/600026/problems-starting-plexmediaserver-on-kubuntu-15-04). – Jos May 01 '15 at 21:20

Thats what broke it - the link is in my question to the same post, it's in between the -@-, and its most likely the problem. Also use the answer button to answer its a lot clearer – Jonathan May 01 '15 at 21:28

Firstly the solution for removing plex error i followed this instruction
sudo rm -f /etc/init.d/plexmediaserver &&
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all plexmediaserver
sudo apt-get purge plexmediaserver
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/plexmediaserver
sudo userdel plex
sudo rm /etc/init/plexmediaserver.conf
sudo rm /etc/default/plexmediaserver
After all the above steps I have downloaded from software center plex. that vertion is so old. Then i upgraded to this vertion plexmediaserver_0.9.11.7.803-87d0708_amd64 this vertion is kind of working okay.
And NOW EVERYTHING WORKING PERFECT FOR ME
