I just fresh installed Ubuntu 18.04. I am having an issue with systemd, which worked fine with 17.10. My service files are located in ~/.config/systemd/user.



I tried a daemon-reload. didn't work. I keep getting an error saying



failed to start. Unit was not found.

  • Could your HOME directory be on a different partition than /etc, or might you have HOME directory encryption? Systemd might not be able to resolve the /etc/systemd/system/* soft links properly in these cases, thus does not find them on boot.
