I just installed Arch on my thinkpad and wanted to enable the mousepad at launch automatically which is not working by itself. So I creted a unit file with the command in it. When running it manually it does work flawlessy but on boot I get an access denied.
Unit File :
Code:
GNU nano 4.4 /etc/systemd/system/elantech.service
[Unit]
Description=Enable elantech touchpad and trackpoint of thinkpad at boot
After=default.target
[Service]
User=root
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c 'echo -n "elantech" > /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol'
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
I tried with different typrs or other targets none of which worked.
Systemctl status :
Code:
● elantech.service - Enable elantech touchpad and trackpoint of thinkpad at boot

I would be really thankful for any ideas since I dont know what else I could try.
