Messing up

[Lenos]

Good day from Amsterdam (the old world)

I really need your help. I messed up. I had Jellyfin up and running but changed something in OMV (RAID). So, I tried to reset / reinstall Jellyfin. And there this Linux noob got lost in all kind of errors messages and bold responses from my side by removing pgp keys, rm files and mkdir new directories.... 

In the end I once again tried the Jellyfin script.  { curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash }

It looked great in the beginning, but then...

> Waiting 15 seconds for Jellyfin to fully start up.

You should see the service as 'active (running)' above. If not, use https://jellyfin.org/contact to find us for troubleshooting.


You can access your new instance now at http://192.168.X.XXX:8096 in your web browser to finish setting up Jellyfin.


Thank you for installing Jellyfin, and happy watching!

Try running this command.

Code:

sudo chown -R jellyfin: /etc/jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin /var/cache/jellyfin
sudo systemctl start jellyfin

If that still doesn't help, run this command and share the output via pastebin.

Code:

sudo journalctl -u jellyfin -n 200 --no-pager

[Lenos]

thanks already (we haven´t solved it yet)

Tried my very first pastebin:

x

(hope you will see all the stuff I tried to copy there)

[Lenos]

Better attempt (I hope)
Didn´t see how to remove the first one

It doesn't look like parts of Jellyfin are actually installed. What is the output of these commands?

Code:

cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.sources
sudo apt list --installed | grep jellyfin

(Thanks for the effort)
