SOLVED: Jellyfin Media Server will not start

[ThereIsNoSpoon]

The title pretty much says it all -- I'm looking in /var/log/jellyfin, and there are no log files despite jelyfin being the owner and group, and the directory being chmod'd to 777. The only error message I get is:

Warning: some journal files were not opened due to insufficient permissions.

Help!

For anyone who has a similar problem, it turns out I was missing the libicu-dev package.

On the CLI, I typed...

Code:

sudo apt policy libicu

...it showed that lib-icu was not installed.

A quick...

Code:

sudo apt install libicu-dev

 

...got me the package I needed, and I restarted the server with...

Code:

sudo systemctl restart jellyfin

 
...and voila -- I was up and running!
