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.

Jellyfin assistance (lemmy.ml)

Hello, I yet again come, hat in hand, for assistance from those wiser in the ways of the Linux. I’m having a bit of an issue downloading Jellyfin on my ElementaryOS laptop. I’ve tried all the guide on the first few pages of ddg only to receive errors after entering the comman “ sudo apt-get update “. I get ERR:3 https//repo.jellyfin.org/debian circle Release 404 Not found.

If someone can point me the way I’d be most appreciative

It seems to have picked up "circle" as the distro. You'll need to replace that with the matching Ubuntu or Debian version of what this version of ElementaryOS is.

Find out by running lsb_release -c in the terminal.

I entered that and got a result of

No LSB modules are available Codename: circe

Elementary 8 circe is based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, which is based in debian 13, which has a codename "trixie".

Assuming this information is correct, OP wants to check a file called similarly to jellyfin.list in /etc/apt/sources.d/ and replace the word circe with noble (for the Ubuntu 24.04 codename) or trixie (if noble gives the same error as circe). Keep in mind you need sudo/root privileges to modify this file.

I’m sorry I’m a super noob but I think I see where I have to fix it. I just don’t know what version of Ubuntu is Elementary 8.0 is. I found a guide that says Ubuntu 20.04(focal) is 6.1(jolnir)
