Thank you for this!
I just fresh installed Trixie and then Jellyfin with
Code:
curl -s https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash
Jelly fin could not start,
Code:
Aug 24 10:09:12 Sanctum systemd[1]: jellyfin.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5.
Aug 24 10:09:12 Sanctum systemd[1]: jellyfin.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
Aug 24 10:09:12 Sanctum systemd[1]: jellyfin.service: Failed with result 'signal'.
Aug 24 10:09:12 Sanctum systemd[1]: Failed to start jellyfin.service - Jellyfin Media Server.
I tried starting it manually and got this
Code:
$ jellyfin
Process terminated. Couldn't find a valid ICU package installed on the system. Please install libicu (or icu-libs) using your package manager and try again. Alternatively you can set the configuration flag System.Globalization.Invariant to true if you want to run with no globalization support. Please see https://aka.ms/dotnet-missing-libicu for more information.

nethiether apt install libicu or icu-libs were valid on the debian repository but that search term did bing me here
This:
Code:
sudo apt install libicu-dev
Got me up and running, Thank you!
