Lorri daemon service refuses to start

[samuela]

Describe the bug After following the install and setup directions in the README, I'm still faced with messages

❯ cd difftaichi 
direnv: loading ~/dev/difftaichi/.envrc
Aug 08 16:31:19.286 WARN lorri daemon is not running and this project has not yet been evaluated, please run `lorri daemon`, expr: /home/skainswo/dev/difftaichi/shell.nix
direnv: export +IN_NIX_SHELL

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run Ubuntu 20.04 with home-manager, and follow the steps in the README:
2. Add

   services.lorri.enable = true;
   programs.direnv.enable = true;

   to your home-manager config. Run a home-manager switch to activate those changes.

3. Run systemctl --user daemon-reload to start the lorri daemon following the cautionary note in the readme.
4. cd into a directory that has been lorri inited.

   ❯ cd difftaichi 
   direnv: loading ~/dev/difftaichi/.envrc
   Aug 08 16:31:19.286 WARN lorri daemon is not running and this project has not yet been evaluated, please run `lorri daemon`, expr: /home/skainswo/dev/difftaichi/shell.nix
   direnv: export +IN_NIX_SHELL

Expected behavior The lorri daemon to have been successfully started, either in the home-manager switch or systemctl --user daemon-reload steps.

Following some debugging based on https://github.com/target/lorri/blob/master/contrib/daemon.md#verify-the-setup I found:

❯ systemctl --user is-enabled lorri.socket
enabled

❯ systemctl --user is-active lorri.socket
inactive

After stopping all existing manually started daemons and running systemctl --user enable --now lorri.socket it's now working.

Does this mean we are missing a step in the tutorial?
