Thanks a ton my dude! This link has been very helpful. I feel like I’m very close! If I can’t get systemd licked I’m definitely going to fstab my computer lol Thanks again for the help, friend!

I really appreciate your help with this. With your changes we have even acheived some partial success!
I did verify the package location with which google-drive-ocamlfuse, and replaced the ~ with %h.
The current configuration for ocamlfuseStartup.sh is:
#!/usr/bin/env bash /usr/bin/google-drive-ocamlfuse /home/tyler/googledrivestartup.service is now:
spoiler
[Unit] Description=Startup Script [Service] Type=simple Restart=always RestartSec=60 ExecStart=/bin/bash %h/.local/bin/ocamlfuseStartup.sh [Install] WantedBy=default.targetThis current configuration leads to 0=SUCCESS, and boy howdy was I ELATED! Until… I realized that it didn’t actually do the thing… The directory %h/googledrive remains empty unless I manually run the command “google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/googledrive” as before.
Interestingly enough, status shows all good in the hood as far as I can tell:

I feel like it’s so close.
However, with resources from others in this thread I have begun a war on two fronts. Introducing our newest contender ~/.config/systemd/user/google-drive-ocamlfuse.service Which as far as I can tell is another way of skinning this cat that doesn’t involve a seperate .sh file to be called. Seems cleaner than the angle I had started working from, but what do I know. Special thanks to Oscar with his github link to documentation and after some iterative monkeying google-drive-ocamlfuse.service looks like so:
spoiler
[Unit] Description=FUSE filesystem over Google Drive After=network.target [Service] ExecStart=google-drive-ocamlfuse /home/tyler/googledrive Restart=always RestartSec=300 Type=simple [Install] WantedBy=default.targetAnd again 0=SUCCESS and premature elation, but alas no joy. Remarkably similar status and journalctl entries, so I remain stumped. Or possibly double stumped…

I feel that if I can’t get it licked soon I will kick systemd to the curb and attempt another method outlined in the github link provided by Oscar. Most likely the fstab method that he mentioned because it sounds violent and that’s the vibe at the moment lol. Once again thank you for any and all assistance.
I like to have a decently firm grasp of the commands I type into the terminal so either I’m too high or what you’re throwing down is more advanced than I’m comfortable with. Thank you for your help though. Especially regarding the broken environment, I think I am dealing with some of that now as I am now receiving an error 127. I added the full path for the google-drive-ocamlfuse package but am still receiving the error 127 so I will try to load it’s dependencies next time similar to your which sed example.
Thanks for your input! I’ve gone down the systemd rabbit hole far enough to be somewhat committed to making it work. But certainly willing to try other methods. I’m enjoying learning more about linux but at the same time I really just need the shit to work though lol
Thanks for your input, I’ll look into this.
Thanks a ton for your help! I’m not quite there but I feel like I’m learning more lol
With your help I have made the changes you listed as well as some other changes while trying to troubleshoot. In no particular order:
Moved ocamlfuseStartup.sh to ~/.local/bin/ocamlfuseStartup.sh because I now am more familiar with what an immutable distro is and does and also added the shebang. File now reads:
#!/usr/bin/env bash /usr/bin/google-drive-ocamlfuse ~/googledriveMoved startup.service to ~/home/tyler/.config/systemd/user/startup.service, file now reads as follows:
[Unit] Description=Startup Script [Service] Type=simple Restart=always RestartSec=60 ExecStart=/bin/bash ~/.local/bin/ocamlfuseStartup.sh [Install] WantedBy=default.targetI am now getting (code=exited, status=127) when I run “systemctl --user status startup.service --now.” Which I have googled and determined that it is now having difficulty finding the program or one of the dependencies according to the bash man page. I attempted to troubleshoot this error by adding the full location of the program /usr/bin/google-drive-ocamlfuse to the ocamlfuseStartup.sh file. I’m unsure how to proceed from here though. Once again, super appreciative of your help. I’m going to bed now though…
Sarcasm? I guess I’m too high to communicate lol thanks anyway.
Oh I see. I’m still pretty new to linux so I didn’t realize that tumbleweed was immutable and I guess it also didn’t really dawn on me that I was monkeying around in protected directories as I followed along with various resources trying to understand the commands and things. I now see how that could cause some issues.
So I guess a better question would be, what is the best way to go about getting an immutable distro to run that command for me at boot? cron job? Thanks for your guidance.
1·23 days agoThank you so much for your help! This has been a thing I’ve been putting off learning for a few months now. Knowing a little more about Sonarr’s limitations is a tremendous boon, I will probably just delete the series from the seedbox and redownload through Jellyseer. Because I typically try to permaseed (until I need to free up space anyway) hard linking is the priority.
Thanks again for your help, friend!
Interesting, I have tried that before but I didn’t think it worked, however there’s no telling if I waited long enough for sonarr to actually scan for it and add it. The hard link command worked great for a movie I wanted to manually add but since I can’t hard link directories I will try that for a TV show. Thanks for the advice!
Edit: After figuring out how to add a profile and custom format that wouldn’t allow downloads from the indexers, I added the series that I was already seeding but it only imported the first season (of eight).
I think it is getting thrown off by the folder structure? In the directory that my torrent client seeds from the files are in a folder named “Series S01-08” and then there is a folder for each season inside that folder. I’m guessing it just stops after season 1 thinking it’s done finding episodes in that directory? I’m unsure how to proceed. Any advice is welcome.
Cool, I don’t feel as dumb now because that’s how I thought it worked. How do I create a hard link instead of copying in Linux though? The space saving is my main goal because space is finite on my box and there’s no reason to have it on there twice.
The reason I ask is because a specific show my wife and I want to watch doesn’t pull correctly in Jellyseer but I’m almost certain I could just manually download the season I need. I just don’t know how to do what the arrs are doing on the backend.
Edit: Gave her a goog and it looks pretty easy actually. If anyone else is interested in how to make hard links in Linux.
I guess I should mention that I run Jellyfin and the arrs through my seedbox so I have only the vaguest notion of what docker is and does. But I guess a question I’ve never bothered to ask is does the copy command in a Linux system create a hard link? Because that seems like it would solve my problems too easily.
I am very glad you asked this question! After setting up my arrs, and loving the automation with jellyseer, I can’t figure out how to manually download and create the hard links that sonarr and radar automatically do. I look forward to someone answering your question.
Hi, it’s me. I’m one of those people. Currently test driving OpenSUSE Tumbleweed in KDE Plasma on an old Chromebook. Liking Linux well enough so far, and i have no special fondness for windows. Just need to find/learn Linux alternatives or work arounds for a few key things, like Cricut and SketchUp. Then I feel like I could easily switch over my main machine and never look back.
HOLY SHIT WE DID IT!!! I have now rebooted several times and the changes you recommended have made it work automagically! I’m so relieved! I can’t thank you enough, and I definitely owe you a beer.
