I’m on Ubuntu. I’m trying to get Jellyfin working. I tried it with the app center and it’s in a folder that i can’t access. Also the path directories aren’t recognized, so i said fuck it and deleted the app.

Now i type “sudo apt update” and get this:

Error: Malformed entry 1 in list file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list ([option] no value) Error: The list of sources could not be read.

    sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jellyfin.list.disabled
    

    This renames the problematic file so it will no longer interfere with your system updates. You can always rename it back later if you want to troubleshoot it, or just delete it.

      thanks that worked, but now it says this:

      All packages are up to date.
      Notice: Ignoring file ‘jellyfin.list.save.2’ in directory ‘/etc/apt/sources.list.d/’ as it has an invalid filename extension Notice: Ignoring file ‘jellyfin.list.save.1’ in directory ‘/etc/apt/sources.list.d/’ as it has an invalid filename extension

      How do i delete the files? I can’t do it through the GUI, nautilus won’t let me have root access?

    It seems your /etc/apt/sources.list has a hardcoded include listed in that file and when you deleted the app it deleted the list file in sources.d directory.

        No worries the /etc/apt/sources.list is a file that stores the config of your software repos you can edit that file by running sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and remove that line that has the path for jellyfin you save by hitting Ctrl + x
