Systemd tries to load units that are "not-found"

I have noticed that some units are required but not-found.

systemctl --all | grep not-found

If they are not necessary why are they required and how to get ride of them ?

why bother ?

You are right but sometimes if it is not too complicated for me I try to understand!

system76-power.service is an example of a vendor specific service.

If you are not using a system76 laptop why did you install something specific for system76?

Keep asking yourself the questions - search for which package provides it.

pamac search --files system76-power.service

You may have installed a package - enabled a service - then uninstalled package without disabling the service - such oversight would leave a dangling symlink which is why tyou get not-found - there is no corresponding unit for the symlink.

I have similar not-found - which is why I asked why bother?

Especially for systemd there is a lot of options - for splitting filesystems of to separate partitions - something that will require the - for the moment - inactive and not-found units to be created and activated.

My system has a list which differ from yours - if you need them you create them or they are supplied by a package.
