not working after reboot on Dell XPS15

See original GitHub issue

Hi. Your script is working properly in the current session. I can see the ir-leds blinking and facial recognition ends successfully. But after reboot it doesn’t work. I have to restart the program manually. I have the latest version and Your fix https://github.com/EmixamPP/linux-enable-ir-emitter/wiki/Issues doesn’t work for me. :~$ linux-enable-ir-emitter boot enable freezes and i have to strike Ctrl-C and launch “fix config” to make everything work again. Until restart… I work on Dell XPS-15, Ubuntu 21.04.

linux-enable-ir-emitter boot status :

Have no idea how to make this script working after reboot.

hehe, I deleted my own post accidentally:) So, it doesn’t matter which folder I put the fix into. It doesn’t work anyway.

The command fix config erase the configuration. So you need to configure again your infrared emitter after a reboot (the emitter should desn’t work).

Ubuntu has a simlink between /usr/lib/systemd/system/ and /lib/systemd/system/ ? Because my installer.sh install the service in the first one but the boot status show the second one. Can you check if it is the case ?

Maybe there are a conflict between the two same services ?
