Hi all.

Just to show how to deal with this error.
incus 0.6

systemctl restart incus

Failed to restart incus.service: Unit incus-lxcfs.service not found.

#) rm /etc/systemd/system/incus-lxcfs.service
#) cp /opt/incus/lib/systemd/system/incus-lxcfs.service /etc/systemd/system/incus-lxcfs
.service

Thanks for this.

How do you think this issue happened?
Did you start off with a pristine Incus 0.6 installation and then got the problem?

Just because I had a similar issue before, what are your mount points?

I have install incus 0.6 from GitHub - zabbly/incus: Incus package repository. start off with a pristine Incus 0.6 installation and everything goes ok.

After one restart problems arise…

First one appers as incus-lxcfs.service not found.
to solve that I:
#) rm /etc/systemd/system/incus-lxcfs.service
#) cp /opt/incus/lib/systemd/system/incus-lxcfs.service /etc/systemd/system/incus-lxcfs
.service
#) systemctl restart incus

Everyting goes ok again.

Next reboot… Problem appears, but differrent:
#) systemctl restart incus
incus not found…

To solve that I:
#) rm /lib/systemd/system/incus.service
#) cp /opt/incus/lib/systemd/system/incus.service /lib/systemd/system/incus.service

#) systemctl restart incus.
incus is working again… 80)))

ubuntu-22.04

Let me know if I can help with more data 80)
