I tried your code (thank you!) and saved it as 1. non-executable and owned by root 2. ending with two paragraphs (that's what I found the other .service-files to be like, but that maybe isn't compulsory) 3. saved it in /lib/systemd/system/powertop.service 4. created a symbolic link by doing sudo cp -s /lib/systemd/system/powertop.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ 5. then sudo systemctl enable powertop.service
Result: "sudo systemctl start powertop.service" WORKS BUT the question is still, why is the service not loading automatically at startup? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1578171 Title: Powertop Fails as Systemd Service in 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/powertop/+bug/1578171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
