This is not what I asked for. Run EXACTLY these commands.
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt list --installed | grep jellyfinRE: Failed to start Jellyfin Media S…ver. - theguymadmax - 2025-03-19

but when i do jellyfin permissions in term it still saysQuote:dpkg: error: cannot access archive 'jellyfin-web*.deb': No such file or directoryeven after reinstalling it how you said
The first step i said was to navigate to the directory you downloaded the file.
That's probably in your in downloads folder, if so the commands would be:
Code:
cd Downloads
sudo systemctl stop jellyfin
sudo dpkg -i jellyfin-web*.deb
sudo systemctl start jellyfinRE: Failed to start Jellyfin Media S…ver. - Samantha Adamovic - 2025-03-19

Let's purge and start fresh.
Code:
sudo apt purge jellyfin*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/jellyfin /etc/jellyfin /var/cache/jellyfin /usr/share/jellyfin
sudo rm -f /etc/default/jellyfin /usr/lib/systemd/system/jellyfin.service
sudo apt install jellyfin jellyfin-web jellyfin-server jellyfin-ffmpegRE: Failed to start Jellyfin Media S…ver. - Samantha Adamovic - 2025-03-20
i just want to confirm that this is how its should be before continuing
RE: Failed to start Jellyfin Media S…ver. - TheDreadPirate - 2025-03-20
Those "rm" commands won't print anything to the terminal. But the purge output looks off. It should have removed more.
Code:
sudo apt purge jellyfin-web jellyfin-server jellyfin-ffmpegThen proceed with the reinstall.

RE: Failed to start Jellyfin Media S…ver. - TheDreadPirate - 2025-03-20
Ah. You have multiple old jellyfin-ffmpeg versions. I got the impression that this was your first time installing Jellyfin. Is that not the case?
Code:
sudo apt purge jellyfin-ffmpeg5
sudo apt purge jellyfin-ffmpeg6
sudo apt purge jellyfin-ffmpeg7RE: Failed to start Jellyfin Media S…ver. - Samantha Adamovic - 2025-03-20
no it is ive just been told to delete it before. the greyed out part is my password i type it on accident
RE: Failed to start Jellyfin Media S…ver. - TheDreadPirate - 2025-03-20
Much better. NOW try installing Jellyfin.
