Hello,

About 2 months ago, I had setup a user-level systemd service in ~gg/.config/systemd/user/archive-watch.service and it had worked fine until yesterday when it suddenly stopped. When I noticed something was wrong, I logged in to try to restart the service, I received this error:

systemctl --user restart archive-watch.service Failed to connect to user scope bus via local transport: Connection refused

The time that things stopped working was some time before: https://time.is/compare/0200PM_26_Feb_2026_in_Tokyo 3 hours prior to this, things were still fine.

Another strange thing I noticed was that the byobu/tmux session that was automatically created for me when I first logged in to tilde.club was gone. This is not a big deal, but it was surprising. I thought that maybe the system was rebooted recently, but that was not the case.

Anyway, any help getting user-level systemd services working again would be appreciated.

Thanks.
