SOLVED: Debian: Unhandled Exception Error

[ExistentialJazz]

Hello All!

I am running Jellyfin 10.8.13 on Linux Debian.

I installed it via command: curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

When I look at the status of jellyfin I get the following:

I am going to presume it should not be doing this

Any ideas on what I did wrong, or that I am missing?

Thanks for the assistance!

Did you run out of disk space? Also, how did you launch Jellyfin? It looks like you ran it manually instead of with systemd since the data directory is in your home.

My disk partition on my boot drive was too small originally and it ran out of space, once I realized my error I uninstalled Jellyfin along with all related components - changed the partition to be much much larger and reinstalled it using: curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash.

I did type "jellyfin" in to launch to get status."

I was presuming that would take care of the error, but it did not, hence why I posted on here.

At this point it is running, but I am still seeing the error - so is this fine? Or did I do something wrong?

You should be starting jellyfin with "sudo systemctl start jellyfin". Swap "start" with "status" to see if it is running.
