Hello
Recently, I installed openSUSE Tumbleweed and wanted to install the intel-lpmd package.
However, I encountered an issue. When I tried to enable the service, I got an error message saying that the service does not exist.
I tried adding it manually using intel-lpmd/data/intel_lpmd.service.in at main · intel/intel-lpmd · GitHub but it didn’t work.
Any suggestions? Because I tried it on another distro, and it worked fine
is this a problem when packaging the package?
What have you done and how have you it done?
Make a service file and copy it to /etc/systemd/system?
Also please use Code-Tags for terminal output:
Code-Tags
right, I did that. after I did that the service is available but when it runs it dies/not running.
thanks for the response
Doesn’t this part in the servicefile needs an adaption to the actual file path in openSUSE?

What about as root:
journalctl -f
and in a second terminal as root:
systemctl start intel_lpmd.service
this is the respons, i think something wrong
lpmd is read config in diferent directory . read from etc/intel_lpmd/intel_lpmd_config.xml
but intel_lpmd from opensuse put config in difrernt directory
