Service not found message on updates

Hey guys, getting an error after updating, this started after a kernel issue that ended in a reinstall. I haven’t been able to track anything down by name, or even what logs to check to identity it and remove whatever is causing it. Happens last step after running garuda-update. I say some references to this, but nothing that allowed me to trackdown mine specifically.

Failed to start transient service unit: Unit run-u287.service not found.

There seems to be an old thread about this.

Seems to be a slightly differently named service (I am assuming the u before the number means unit?) but I wonder if the bug is somewhat related?

I have no words right now… literally none. I did restart after the reinstall and the initial update, but clearly not since that. Guess I’ve been running Linux so long that rebooting to fix issues isn’t even a reflex anymore, which is cool, but in this case, embarrassing. LOL!

Thanks for the needed wake up slap!

I just found out that those run- units are likely transient units made by systemd-run.
The u before the number should mean user.

(*) “likely”, because one may well name a regular unit like that, or have a transient one with a custom name.
