    Morning lads,
    I was running a jellyfin server under :
    Code:
    No LSB modules are available.
    Distributor ID: Ubuntu
    Description:    Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
    Release:        24.04
    Codename:      noble
    My server is actually a vm running inside proxmox. Everything was working until a couple of days ago where i notice my vm was still up but jellyfin was not working.
    When I checked the status in systemd I found this :
    Code:
    sudo systemctl status jellyfin.service
    × jellyfin.service - Jellyfin Media Server
        Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/jellyfin.service; enabled; preset: enabled)
        Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d
                └─jellyfin.service.conf
        Active: failed (Result: core-dump) since Tue 2025-07-08 22:47:53 CEST; 691ms ago
      Duration: 636ms
        Process: 2678 ExecStart=/usr/bin/jellyfin $JELLYFIN_WEB_OPT $JELLYFIN_FFMPEG_OPT $JELLYFIN_SERVICE_OPT $JELLYFIN_NOWEBAPP_OPT $JELLYFIN_ADDITIONAL_OPTS (code=dumped, signal=ABRT)
      Main PID: 2678 (code=dumped, signal=ABRT)
            CPU: 519ms
    I was not able to find a way to fix this so I juste uninstall jellyfin using sudo apt remove jellyfin*.
    Then I tried to reinstall it using this command : 

    curl -s https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash
    But the script fail when it tries to run : apt install --yes jellyfin, telling me it's unable to locate jellyfin package.
    So i also tried to install through .deb packages which seem to have worked, because the service is active inside systemd but actually nothing is happening. If i looking into the trafffic of the port i see nothing is going thourhg and i cannot connect it,
    Any help welcome
    Best regards

    It seems I finally managed to solve the issue, for reason I don't get I had a foreign architecture installed with dpkg (arm64) and it seems that apt was seing two architecture and was trying to fetch the wrong one. Here's the ouput of my apt config :
    pt-cache policy jellyfin jellyfin-server jellyfin-ffmpeg7 | head -20
    jellyfin:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 10.10.7+ubu2404
    Version table:
    10.10.7+ubu2404 500
    500 https://repo.jellyfin.org/ubuntu noble/main arm64 Packages
    10.10.6+ubu2404 500
    500 https://repo.jellyfin.org/ubuntu noble/main arm64 Packages
    10.9.10+ubu2404 500
    500 https://repo.jellyfin.org/ubuntu noble/main arm64 Packages
    jellyfin-server:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: (none)
    Version table:
    10.10.7+ubu2004 -1
    100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
    jellyfin-ffmpeg7:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: (none)
    Version table:

    I ran this :
    dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
    sudo dpkg --remove-architecture arm64
    sudo sed -i 's/^Architectures:.*/Architectures: amd64/' \
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.sources
    sudo dpkg --purge jellyfin jellyfin-server jellyfin-web \
    jellyfin-ffmpeg5 jellyfin-ffmpeg6 jellyfin-ffmpeg7
    sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*jellyfin*
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install jellyfin-ffmpeg7 jellyfin-server jellyfin-web

    And it seems to be fixed now, I'm not sure what caused the issue in the first place
