You updated what to what precisely? As in did you update javabridge 1 to javabridge 2, or is it a vanilla incremental update ?

#3

You may want to have a look at /var/log/jitsi/jicofo.log. As jitsi still uses SysV style init files there will be little information when using yournalctl.

Thanks,
I have done a full update

apt update
apt upgrade

Now I have installed the older version of jitsi.
After apt remove jicofo jitsi-videobridge2
and apt install jitsi-meet-prosody=1.0.4025-1 jicofo=1.0-549-1 jitsi-meet=2.0.4468-1 jitsi-meet-web=1.0.4025-1 jitsi-meet-web-config=1.0.4025-1 jitsi-videobridge2=2.1-183-gdbddd169-1 jitsi-meet-turnserver=1.0.4025-1

Jitsi is running

best regards
Frank
