oh sry, but I tried the home directory and get the same error…
go: no packages loaded from /home/nona/go/bin/main
go env is in /home/nona/go, i just forgot to try running it ther to
Can you show:
ls -la /home/nona/go/bin
I really would have thought main was the binary; I guess I have no idea what I'm looking at. Can you try from inside the directory:
cd /home/nona/go/bin
./main
I'm puzzled. This is what I did:
git clone [email protected]:GRbit/acupoint-portege-x30.git
cd acupoint-portege-x30
go build # first time will download all other packages it depends on
and that is it, now there's a mmm executable file in the directory.
It's mmm because go.mod says module mmm.
edit: use git clone https://github.com/GRbit/acupoint-portege-x30.git.
ls -la /home/nona/go/bin gives me

Bingo!
Okay, so:
sudo mv /home/nona/go/bin/main /usr/local/bin/
After moving it, check if it runs:
sudo main
If it does, edit the systemd service:
micro /etc/systemd/system/driver.service
Change the ExecStart line to point to the binary:
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/main
Then save, exit, reload the daemon and restart the service. *wipes sweat from brow *

Yep that is it. I guess the file name depends how it's compiled. Who cares, it's the one.
I advise to rename it to something meaningful and unlikely to clash with some other binary, if it's going to end up somewhere in PATH.

Running the program again gives: go: no packages loaded from /usr/local/bin/main. What's happening here? Do I have to install go packages each time on reboot? O_o Running the mmm file I copied from the git also gives the same error.
Running with sudo main gives this?
I don’t know! 
Can you show output of:
sudo journalctl -r -u driver.service

Meanwhile I try to make sense of Getting error: load_input_helper [1883]: XkbGetKeyboard failed to locate a valid keyboard! · Issue #304 · go-vgo/robotgo · GitHub , looks like the problem.
edit: nothing very useful there.

Okay,, I messed up xD. I tried go run out of habit, but just sudo /usr/local/bin/main makes it work fine.
Output of sudo journalctl is....

sure it’s not go run in the service file touchpad.sh?
my service file is
[Unit]
Description=My Excellent Go Touchpad Service
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/main
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
also, I have a terrible bug now. running sudo main makes the touchpad work, BUT once I close the terminal, it ends the drive process and doesn't run anymore. previously, when I ran main.go, it worked even when I closed the terminal.
When run from terminal, the process will be a child of the terminal and go down with it.
But, (assuming fish shell), whatever & ; disown will run whatever detached from the terminal and it will survive it.
This only matters when running manually, you may as well leave the terminal open while testing.
It's of no consequence for the service, in that case main or whatever we want to call it will be managed by systemd and stay up.

I wonder if it is starting too early? Try to change

to

Save, reload daemon, restart service, reboot…

Does it run as the right user tho?
How can I check that? I gave it root permissions if it helps.
Try add User=nona and Group=nona under [Service], and /usr/bin/sudo to the ExecStart command (assuming nona is your username).
Since services run as root by default, sudo shouldn't prompt for a password.
There are subtle differences between root and sudo that I do not understand well, and here the command works in terminal with sudo but not as a service so it may be that. Or not 
.
I get a bad setting error when I use systemctl status.... How do I add /usr/bin/sudo? I already have an execstart comand, the one that runs the main file. o_o
I mean, change it to ExecStart=/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/main.
