can't start v0.0.4 - bad config file

[sirber]

Failed to start intel_lpmd.service: Unit intel_lpmd.service has a bad unit file setting. See system logs and 'systemctl status intel_lpmd.service' for details.

the config file is the one by default

[zhang-rui]

which branch/commit are you using?

and how do you reproduce it?

[zhang-rui]

And does the problem exist with tag 0.0.3?

[being24]

I had same error at ubuntu 22.04.

I tried v0.0.3 and get error.

Failed to restart init.service: Unit init.service not found.
Failed to restart intel_lpmd.service: Unit intel_lpmd.service has a bad unit file setting.
See system logs and 'systemctl status intel_lpmd.service' for details.

[sirber]

the config file exists and seems legit.

I just cloned it, compiled it and started it.

 6月 18 13:06:55 being-ThinkPad-E14-Gen-4 systemd[1]: intel_lpmd.service: Unit configuration has fatal error, unit will not be started.

It appears that ${exec_prefix} is not correctly expanded So, change intel_lpmd.service's ExecStart to

ExecStart=${exec_prefix}/sbin/intel_lpmd --systemd --dbus-enable

to

ExecStart=/sbin/intel_lpmd --systemd --dbus-enable

and it works!

[sirber]

that worked!

I'm on Fedoar 40.

[zhang-rui]

so key is to use "./autogen.sh prefix=/" right?

[being24]

Yes shuld I change it ?

[zhang-rui]

yes, please. close this issue.

[zhang-rui]

IMO, this is a duplicate of https://github.com/intel/intel-lpmd/issues/36
