Connection failure - kirnon - 2024-07-11
Hi,
I've just moved to Linux Mint and installed Jellyfin.
While following some youtube things for setup it seems to have broken something.
I now get to the login screen with my username and password and it just comes up with
Connection Failure
We're unab le to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again.
I've gone into the terminal to try get it to run. When I use the command:
sudo service jellyfin status it returns Unit jellyfin.service could not be found.
I don't know what to do?
I've run timeshift to when I first installed Mint and reinstalled jellyfin to no avail?
I'm now stuck.
Please help.

How did you install Jellyfin? Since Mint is based on Ubuntu/Debian, our "one liner" script should do all the work.
On the command line, use these commands to purge Jellyfin and start over. I'm assuming you don't have anything in your Jellyfin yet and don't mind starting over.
Code:
sudo apt purge jellyfin*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/jellyfin /etc/jellyfin
curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bashThat will purge Jellyfin, all the configs and database, and install with our automation script.
If you had a previous Jellyfin server before this, make sure you clear your browser cache since Jellyfin caches data aggressively and moving to a new server can be problematic if you don't clear the browser cache.
