1st Problem, Jellyfin crashing:
After installing jellyfin, I got "(jellyfin)[7589]: jellyfin.service: Referenced but unset environment variable evaluates to an empty string: JELLYFIN_ADDITIONAL_OPTS, JELLYFIN_FFM>" on my Fedora 43 desktop.
After searching I found this, which was edit IsStartupWizardCompleted to false, and it worked, I went ahead with the wizard setup.

2nd Problem, New devices connecting via webui are shown the setup wizard instead of login page:
On my Desktop and TV works fine, but when I try to connect from my laptop, the setup wizard comes up, whether is the web version or the media player version.
With one more search, I found a user with the same problem, and the solution is to change IsStartupWizardCompleted to true, but it does crush jellyfin.

SOLUTION WAS FOUND and was easier than you think
I did clear cookies on my desktop for web jellyfin, server installation came up, went through it again, and now it works fine! I did login without problems on my laptop.
Will monitor and see how it goes.

Are you using the docker version or the manual installation version? (After using the manually installed version for a while, I suggest the docker one as upgrades are much less painful)
