    I'm setting up my first Jellyfin server, and on a fresh install, I can't seem to get the web client to work for the life of me. I'm running it on Ubuntu 22.04.3, and whenever I run the install script from the documentation, everything seems to go through just fine. But, when I type in "jellyfin" into the terminal to check the status, it throws out the error "The server is expected to host the web client, but the provided content directory is either invalid or empty: /usr/lib/jellyfin/bin/jellyfin-web" Upon further inspection, I found a Reddit thread where someone ran into the same issue, and they found that instead of the files for the webclient being there, they were instead in /usr/share/jellyfin/web. They fixed it by running "sudo apt purge jellyfin --autoremove" then reinstalling. I tried that, but I still seem to get the same error. Would be possible to edit a config file somewhere to make it so the latter path is used when trying to find the files for the web client? Or would there be a way to migrate the files to the right place?

    Thanks in advance!
