[Solved] Failed to enable unit: Unit file nordvpnd,service does not ex
I'm trying to use NordVPN, but when I go to enable nordvpnd.service I get the following output:
Failed to enable unit: Unit file nordvpnd.service does not exist.It's the same for nordvpnsd.service. Is it possible that NordVPN failed to install correctly?
I have already tried rebooting, and reinstalling NordVPN, but am unsure where to go from here.
Any help is appreciated.

This one: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nordvpn-bin/ nordvpn-bin 3.1.0_4-1
I installed it using makepkg.

Just running makepkg doesn't install anything. Read the man page or the AUR wiki page.

I'm sorry I should have mentioned I used makepkg -i.

Please paste the output of `pacman -Qi nordvpn-bin` and of `ls /usr/lib/systemd/system/`.

Re: [Solved] Failed to enable unit: Unit file nordvpnd,service does not ex
systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled
UNIT FILE STATE
autovt@.service enabled
getty@.service enabled
nordvpnd.service enabled
telnet.socket enabled
remote-fs.target enabled
5 unit files listed.EDIT: In the previous post I messed up. the service that could be enabled was nordvpnd. After starting the service I can now run nordvpn, but the killswitch doesn't seem to work.

That's a separate issue. Please mark this thread as solved and open a new thread with relevant debugging information, like journal entries.
