I installed Jellyfin via apt last week while setting up my new Ubuntu host, and it streamed several movies and was working great. After a reboot yesterday, it began coredumping with the error above, trying to access a nonexistent /jellyfin path. I've reviewed all my config files and none have a reference to this path. I also ran
ls -ld /etc/jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin /var/cache/jellyfin /usr/share/jellyfin and permissions looked good. I'm not sure what step to take next; I do not know how to inspect the core dump or what to look for.Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Share the output of "systemctl show jellyfin" and "sudo journalctl -u jellyfin -n 200 --no-pager". Both commands will produce a lot of text so use pastebin to share the output.

Did you do anything that may have affected the jellyfin service? There are a lot of things missing in "show jellyfin". No environment file is set, which would include all the data paths and working directories for Jellyfin, the execstart doesn't include any options.
Let's backup your install data and reset Jellyfin.
Code:
sudo mkdir /jellyBackup
cd /jellyBackup
sudo rsync -a -p --progress /var/lib/jellyfin libJellyfin/
sudo rsync -a -p --progress /etc/jellyfin etcJellyfin/
sudo rsync -a -p --progress /var/cache/jellyfin cacheJellyfin/
sudo apt purge jellyfin*
curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash
sudo systemctl stop jellyfin
sudo rsync -a -p --progress libJellyfin/jellyfin /var/lib/ --delete
sudo rsync -a -p --progress etcJellyfin/jellyfin /etc/ --delete
sudo rsync -a -p --progress cacheJellyfin/jellyfin /var/cache/ --delete
sudo chown -R jellyfin: /etc/jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin /var/cache/jellyfin
sudo systemctl start jellyfin
