Issues Installing

[Timer]

Hi   ,
so i am pretty new to Ubuntu and yesterday i mistakenly overloaded the system over it assigned storage (which i now set higher), but a site effect of the problem was that i've got the error "System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing". I then tried some things and after that i tried reinstalling jellyfin but now it got this error:
Errors were encountered while processing:
jellyfin-server
jellyfin
needrestart is being skipped since dpkg has failed
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I am running Ubuntu Server 24.04

Let's purging Jellyfin. It is probably borked in several ways.

Code:

sudo apt purge jellyfin*
sudo rm -rf /etc/jellyfin /var/lib/jellyfin /var/cache/jellyfin
curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

[Timer]

When i try
sudo apt purge jellyfin*

it gives me this error

Code:

E: Unable to locate package jellyfin.sh
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'jellyfin.sh'

How did you install Jellyfin the first time? What is the output of this command?

Code:

sudo apt list --installed | grep jellyfin

[Timer]

I have installed it with

sudo apt-get install jellyfin

The output is:

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

Did you modify the jellyfin service file? The "jellyfin.sh" message leads to believe you did. What are the contents of /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d/jellyfin.service.conf?

Not that i can remember

i copied the lines from /etc/systemd/system/jellyfin.service.d/jellyfin.service.conf

Whoops. I told you to look at the wrong file.

This one.

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/jellyfin.service

The contents should be this.

Code:

[Unit]
Description = Jellyfin Media Server
After = network-online.target

[Service]
Type = simple
EnvironmentFile = /etc/default/jellyfin
User = jellyfin
Group = jellyfin
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/jellyfin
ExecStart = /usr/bin/jellyfin $JELLYFIN_WEB_OPT $JELLYFIN_FFMPEG_OPT $JELLYFIN_SERVICE_OPT $JELLYFIN_NOWEBAPP_OPT $JELLYFIN_ADDITIONAL_OPTS
Restart = on-failure
TimeoutSec = 15
SuccessExitStatus=0 143

[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target

[Timer]

No Problem :)

i have compared that with mine and there the same

What is the status of jellyfin right now?

sudo systemctl status jellyfin

And can you retrieve today's log from /var/log/jellyfin and share it via pastebin?
