What can i do ?

What version of Ubuntu are you on? Your jellyfin repo is configured for noble, but your Ubuntu repos say mantic.

I'm assuming you started on 23.10 and upgraded to 24.04? Or are you still on 23.10?

I'm betting you are still on 23.10.

Hey,

yes, im using 23.10

PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 23.10"

HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/"

Your jellyfin repo is configured for noble, but your Ubuntu repos say mantic.

So, what do i have to do now? Changing the Ubuntu repos to noble?

[TheDreadPirate]

23.10 is unsupported. Both by Ubuntu and Jellyfin. Starting with 10.9 Jellyfin is no longer releasing builds for non-LTS releases, but you can "lie" by putting "noble" in the Jellyfin repo config. And Ubuntu only supports non-LTS releases for 9 months. Meaning that even though you are successfully "lying" to the Jellyfin repo, any dependencies you need for Jellyfin from Ubuntu's repo may not be met. Which appears to be what is happening.

I recommend you upgrade to 24.04 or use docker.

[TheDreadPirate]

Here are instructions for properly upgrading, if you choose to go that route. Which you should do since you won't be getting any OS updates, period, if you stay on 23.10.

Okay, thank you, i tried, but i get the message:

Please install all available updates for your release before upgrading.

i tried:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt dist-upgrade

But it didnt help...

[TheDreadPirate]

dist-upgrade does not upgrade the whole OS. From the link I provided.

Ubuntu Servers

1. Install ubuntu-release-upgrader-core if it is not already installed:

Code:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-release-upgrader-core

2. Make sure the Prompt line in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades is set to 'normal' if you want non-LTS upgrades, or set to 'lts' if you only want LTS upgrades.

3. Launch the upgrade tool:

Code:

do-release-upgrade

4. If you want to upgrade early, before upgrades are officially supported, you can pass the -d option when running do-release-upgrade. Do this at your own risk. It is advised to check the release notes for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS before doing so.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Okay, i've got it now!

Thank you very much for your patience
