Failed to Enable systemd-enable.service: Desktop Script Issue
In this article, we will discuss the issue that arises when enabling the systemd-enable.service and how it can be resolved. Specifically, we will cover the problem that occurs when running the startup_test.sh script on a desktop folder that contains an executable file named efg.
Background
The systemd-enable.service is a system service that manages the system's startup process. It is responsible for enabling and disabling various services during the system's boot-up and shutdown process. However, sometimes this service may fail to enable, and an error message may appear.
The Issue
When running the startup_test.sh script on a desktop folder that contains an executable file named efg, the following error message may appear:
madestartup_test.sh: 2: madestartup_test.sh: cd: can't cd to /home/xyz/Desktop/gnome-terminal-e"bash-c./efg"
This error message indicates that the script is unable to change the directory to the specified path due to an invalid argument.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, the user should ensure that the path specified in the startup_test.sh script is correct and does not contain any invalid arguments. In this case, the user should modify the script to remove the invalid argument as follows:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/xyz/Desktop/gnome-terminal
./efg
By removing the invalid argument, the script should now be able to change the directory to the specified path and execute the efg file without any issues.
