I was trying to install Jenkins in my server Ubuntu 20.04 with the following commands

wget -q -O - http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian-stable binary/ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list'
sudo apt update
sudo apt install jenkins

But installation fails with dpkg: error processing package jenkins (--configure):

Job for jenkins.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status jenkins.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
invoke-rc.d: initscript jenkins, action "start" failed.

I've tried this, removing and again installation, changing the content of /etc/securetty here but none of them is working. I'm only facing this problem when I try to install Jenkins in server, while I tried to install my own laptop having Ubuntu 20.04 it works fine.

  • This does not help for my situation. I could have other issues on my system. – Kemin Zhou Jul 15 '22 at 22:40
