Im very new to CachyOS and after installing the OS and trying to install rog control center asusd fails to start due to start limit being hit. i originally tried to create the directory /etc/asusd/ to fix it but it still doesnt start. according to the Konsole the “unit files have no installation config”. i will put the console log below. if anyone knows how to fix this it will be greatly appreciated. the post i got the idea to create the directory from is here: Asusctl failing on fresh install: Missing /etc/asusd directory
these logs are from after i disabled ‘restart=on-failiure’
‘’’
\#systemctl enable asusd
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, UpheldBy=,
Also=, or Alias= settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance= for
template units). This means they are not meant to be enabled or disabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having these kinds of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit’s
.wants/, .requires/, or .upholds/ directory.
• A unit’s purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, …).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.‘’’
