From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm have some trouble on how to get Jellyfin running on Ubuntu server. I'm Very new to using Linux with the command line so please be patient with me.
i have tried to Duck(duckgo) a solution but i cant find anything that works for me.
If you need some kind of logs please tell me how to get them!
// A very lost linux noob
For possibly more information on why the core is dumping (lol) try running jellyfin from the cli (probably just typing the path to the jellyfin executable and pressing enter)
If nothing interesting is printed, try adding strace before the jellyfin executable (Google strace, it intercepts all system calls and logs them) if that doesn't work tell strace to follow forks.
Other than that you could start using binary debugging tools to see what shared libraries jellyfin is looking for? Maybe run it in gdb...
You want to run jellyfin with the jellyfin user. Otherwise access to all the files, configs and logs get screwed up or are not accessible
That makes sense, I was thinking the executable is crashing without any output because something is wrong with the libraries available or executable itself. I should have made it clear that I don't use jellyfin and the steps above are general debugging advice for applications that crash immediately.
