Jellyfin Media Server will not start - ThereIsNoSpoon - 2025-09-03
The title pretty much says it all -- I'm looking in /var/log/jellyfin, and there are no log files despite jelyfin being the owner and group, and the directory being chmod'd to 777. The only error message I get is:
Warning: some journal files were not opened due to insufficient permissions.
Help!

sudo apt install libicu-dev...got me the package I needed, and I restarted the server with...
Code:
sudo systemctl restart jellyfin...and voila -- I was up and running!
