At one point, I tried (and failed) to get sunshine working on my machine. Now, when looking at the system journal via KSystemLog, I see the following error message:
sunshine.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /usr/bin/sunshine: No such file or directory
When running systemctl status sunshine
, I receive the following error message: Unit sunshine.service could not be found
. Appending sudo
produces the same result.
How can I stop systemd from trying to run this non-existent service?
sudo systemctl disable sunshine
Which is pretty much the default for the UK

sudo systemctl disable sunshine.service Should do it…
Oops…posted too late…
I get this error message: Failed to disable unit: Unit file sunshine.service does not exist.
Do you have some file related to sunshine in /etc/xdg/autostart
?
If you have you can remove it, reboot and check the logs again and see if that message is gone.
No, but I figured it out. I had to run systemctl --user disable sunshine
. Haven’t rebooted yet, but I’m sure that will have been it.

That must be it. It’s a user and not a system service then. Good find!
