Issue with loading jellyfin on boot - nemobeats - 2023-12-02

Hey all,

I tried to follow the guide installing jellyfin on ubuntu.  But my boot always fails to start the service w the following error:

Dec 01 02:51:56 media systemd[957]: jellyfin.service: Failed to determine user >
Dec 01 02:51:56 media systemd[957]: jellyfin.service: Failed at step USER spawn>

jellyfin opens fine when I execute ./jellyfin.sh.  whats the fix for this?  I am a linux noob so command lines are appreciated...

EDIT: I am an idiot. didn't change username on .service hah.

How did you install it? You shouldn't have needed to change the username in the service file if you used apt to install Jellyfin.
