systemd unit broken (eventd-git arch linux) about eventd HOT 6 CLOSED

Do you really want to run eventd system instance? If you do, you need to either create an eventd user or change the user in the unit (via a drop-in file, do not touch the installed unit files).
If you don’t, or if you don’t know, then see systemctl --user.

Hmm.. I tried reading up on it, I am sorry if I misunderstood something.
I am trying to use eventd as a local notification service.
Running it in my .xinitrc with a eventd & line works fine. I am basically trying to achieve the same as just running it like that.

Again sorry if I overlooked something, and thank you very much for your time!

Urgh, I am so sorry for wasting your time..

To anyone else who might happen to find this in the future:
run systemctl --user enable eventd and systemctl --user start eventd

I guess I need to read up on some documentation..

No time wasted, I’ll add some more verbosity in the man page.
eventd is a user service, using systemctl alone is for system services.

If you have an user instance of systemd running, then enabling eventd is as simple as systemctl --user enable eventd.
You actually should start the sockets eventd.socket and eventd-control.socket rather than eventd itself (or just restart your session so that systemd does it).
