      Re: PowerBlock driver quick installation fails

      Hello, just wondering if the driver for the powerblock accessory for the raspberry pi works with manajro which I know is arch Linux and not debian so I wasn't sure about compatibility. Above is a link to the old thread

        Here is the terminal output when using the command
        "wget -O - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petrockblog/PowerBlock/master/install.sh | sudo bash"

        It would appear that it was installed but the service is not running. How would I go about starting the service?

          @tacticaltoast I need to take a look into Manjaro - I have not tested the driver with it before. I am sure that the PowerBlock will also work with it. Probably switching the driver to systemd will solve it (comparable to how the ControlBlock driver is installed, https://github.com/petrockblog/ControlBlockService2/blob/master/scripts/insertLine.sh#L15).

          I will come back here soon!
