ydotoool.service not found

[rwjack]

I tried enabling the Auto close session option today, but I keep getting this error and nothing happens.

I installed apt install ydotool, but no avail.
ydotool/jammy,now 0.1.8-3 amd64 [installed] <- doesn't seem to be above 1.0.0

Any ideas?

Are you using Ubuntu? If so, it's possible for you to install the latest version, please visit its release page:

https://github.com/ReimuNotMoe/ydotool/releases/tag/v1.0.4

So I just copy it to /usr/local/bin and then what? The service still doesn't exist

I see this, but the way forward is kind of confusing.

Do I need the service or not? Will AWSM start it? Where do I put it initially, in the home dir or in /etc/systemd/system?

@rwjack Is Close by rules (just under Auto close session ) enabled or not?

enabled

Seems to working now after a regular reboot

FWIW, I had the same issue. Copying the ydotool.service file from /usr/lib/systemd/system to /usr/lib/systemd/user resolved it for me.

Hi, I'll close this issue now, feel free to reopen it if necessary.
