    Hey all,

    I tried to follow the guide installing jellyfin on ubuntu.  But my boot always fails to start the service w the following error:

    Dec 01 02:51:56 media systemd[957]: jellyfin.service: Failed to determine user >
    Dec 01 02:51:56 media systemd[957]: jellyfin.service: Failed at step USER spawn>

    jellyfin opens fine when I execute ./jellyfin.sh.  whats the fix for this?  I am a linux noob so command lines are appreciated...

    EDIT: I am an idiot. didn't change username on .service hah.

    How did you install it? You shouldn't have needed to change the username in the service file if you used apt to install Jellyfin.
