Updating from 10.8.0 - Ubuntu

[DeckardTBechard]

Here are the steps I have taken;

Shutdown Jellyfin from Dashboard
sudo apt update
sudo apt install jellyfin
sudo systemctl start jellyfin

With these steps the Dashboard still displays 10.8.0

I also attempted the bash script on the Linux install page and got this error;

curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

Err:18 https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/webupd8...ava/ubuntu jammy Release
404 Not Found [IP: 185.125.190.80 443]

What am I missing? Do I have to uninstall Jellyfin because the current installation can't be overwritten? Please have mercy. I know I'm probably missing something rudimentary. I installed version 10.8 as is on bare metal and have not attempted to update until now.

I'm wondering if the version number is cached in your browser. Clear your browser cache for your jellyfin or ctrl+F5.

You can also check the logs, which prints the server version.

/var/log/jellyfin

No luck with either

[2024-04-04 11:40:59.732 -04:00] [INF] Jellyfin version: "10.8.0"

Did you configure apt to not upgrade Jellyfin? Which version of Ubuntu are you on?

Follow the instructions for installing the repository manually: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/instal...ory-manual

[TheDreadPirate]

Which version of Ubuntu are you on?

[DeckardTBechard]

I am on Ubuntu Jammy 22.04.4

I ended up uninstalling;

"sudo apt-get remove –auto-remove jellyfin"

I didn't purge any config files

Re-installed and added the repo manually 

Attached are screenshots after the re-installation of jellyfin.sources (I think they are correct. I didn't change anything, only checked it.)and the Dashboard in browser after clearing the browser cache.

Stupid question.
Is it possible I could have installed it twice on the same drive, just maybe different directories? Maybe I've been deleting and re-installing to the default locations, but the one I'm actively using isn't the same one? Is there a way to check this?

If you removed it, it is literally impossible to reinstall 10.8.0 from our repo because only 10.8.13 is available in the stable repo.

What is the output of "ps -aux | grep jellyfin"? It should look like this.

Code:

jellyfin    1362  0.4  1.2 5861872 411440 ?      Ssl  Apr08   8:17 /usr/bin/jellyfin --webdir=/usr/share/jellyfin/web --restartpath=/usr/lib/jellyfin/restart.sh --ffmpeg=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg

Also, what is the output of "sudo apt-mark showhold".

Output of the first:

Code:

jellyfin    1972  0.5 13.0 6100236 1054332 ?    Ssl  Apr08  17:30 /usr/bin/jellyfin --webdir=/usr/share/jellyfin/web --restartpath=/usr/lib/jellyfin/restart.sh --ffmpeg=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg

Output of the second:

Code:

jellyfin    1972  0.5 13.0 6100236 1054332 ?    Ssl  Apr08  17:30 /usr/bin/jellyfin --webdir=/usr/share/jellyfin/web --restartpath=/usr/lib/jellyfin/restart.sh --ffmpeg=/usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg

The second code block is the same as the first.

I doubt you marked jellyfin as "do not update" anyway, so let's move forward with backing up your data and purging Jellyfin.

Copy the two Jellyfin data and config directories to some place else.

Code:

sudo systemctl stop jellyfin
mkdir -p /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-data /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-config  #Replace with an actual path but keep jellyfin-config and jellyfin-data
mv /var/lib/jellyfin/* /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-data/*
mv /etc/jellyfin/* /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-config/*

Use apt to purge Jellyfin.

Code:

sudo apt purge jellyfin*

Now we are going to manually delete any Jellyfin install folders and the repo configs.

Code:

sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/jellyfin /usr/share/jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list
sudo rm -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.sources
sudo apt update

Install from our repo via the auto-install script

Code:

curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash

It will automatically start the service so we are going to bring it down before we restore your config.

Code:

sudo systemctl stop jellyfin

Now let's restore the data and configs.

Code:

cp -pR /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-data/* /var/lib/jellyfin/
cp -pR /path/to/backup/folder/jellyfin-config/* /etc/jellyfin/
sudo chown -R jellyfin: /var/lib/jellyfin /etc/jellyfin

Now start Jellyfin.

Code:

sudo systemctl start jellyfin
