Unable to start service on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) #59

I'm working on getting this to run between Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04 but I can't get the service to start and I can't seem to figure out why. when I run "sudo systemctl status display-switch.service" and I have the display-switch.ini in the proper directory with Hdmi is my Ubuntu and DisplayPort is Windows. What part am I missing or doing wrong?

usb_device = "1A40:0101"
on_usb_connect = "Hdmi1"
on_usb_disconnect = "DisplayPort1"
