Steps to reproduce (if you know):

1. Install system-power and gnome-shell-extension-system76-power
2. Enable and start systemd service
3. Use CLI to change the profile/Try to enable the extension

Expected behavior:

Able to switch modes and profiles

Other Notes:

If you start the systemd service you are able to use the CLI but not the extension. This is the message you see when you try to use the CLI or enable the extension when you boot before starting the service:

Gio.DBusError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.system76.PowerDaemon was not provided by any .service files

We have several issues open about Arch and Arch-based distros (and their kernel versions) already:
#276
#268
#265

If the issue being reported here is regarding the GNOME Shell extension, its repository is https://github.com/pop-os/gnome-shell-extension-system76-power.

I saw those other issues but the errors were different. I filed this against system76-power as the issue is with the main application not really the extension. There is a branch that I made for adding GNOME 41 to the metadata.json file.

Sounds like the Arch packaging is just outdated, and lacks the service file containing BusName=com.system76.PowerDaemon.

[ahoneybun]

It looks like it has that in the system76-power.service file:

[Unit]
Description=System76 Power Daemon

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/system76-power daemon
Restart=on-failure
Type=dbus
BusName=com.system76.PowerDaemon

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

At least in this version in the AUR

[mmstick]

You could try installing system76-power from the systemd branch to see if this improves it any.

[ahoneybun]

So running these commands are still needed as of testing today with GNOME 41.5:

sudo systemctl mask power-profiles-daemon
sudo systemctl start system76-power

I haven't been able to build the AUR package using the systemd branch yet.

@ahoneybun I had this issue in 22.04 (beta)

"Gio.DBusError: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.system76.PowerDaemon was not provided by any .service files"

and was solved applying the same commands.
Thanks!
