From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

All my ducks seem to be in order and the correct configs in the right place. But i keep getting this message. As you can see the file exists. It is not empty, but systemctl cannot find it. Any help would be very very appreciated.

I made the file this way.
Cd /etc/systemd/system && touch spotifyd.service
Sudo nano -l spotifyd.service
Wrote, saved and quit. Then the commands above. I havent tried sudo systemctl edit —force —full
You surely need to explicitly cause
systemdto process changes after writing to a file. I would be very surprised if it reacted to file system changes automatically.For example, I recall that I need to execute a command like
systemctl daemon-reloadafter editing aservicefile: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/364782/what-does-systemctl-daemon-reload-doYou might get more useful information from resources like https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/systemctl.1.html
My knowledge is limited, but you should be using that command to create service files, from what I understand. There's some extra stuff that happens in the background (like putting symlinks in the correct places) after you write out the changes using that command.
