jellyfin won't launch since 10.9.11 update

[jellyhank]

Hi all,

I've been enjoying Jellyfin for the past month or so, and recently decided to update to 10.9.11. I'm running a baremetal (Intel NUC) Ubuntu to host my Jellyfin. 

When I run jellyfin in the terminal, this is what i get:


hank@jellyfin:~$ jellyfin

Any advice would be appreciated! In typical n00b fashion, I didn't make a back-up, ah well ...
