Omarchy

ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

omarchy install service sunshine fails: unit sunshine.service does not existrevision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 12:10 UTC via poll

What happened

Running omarchy install service sunshine installs the sunshine package successfully, but then fails with:

Failed to enable unit: Unit sunshine.service does not exist.

Because the script (omarchy-install-service-sunshine) has set -e, it aborts immediately at this step. As a result, everything after the systemctl --user enable --now sunshine line never runs:

  • The Moonlight UFW firewall rules (LAN + Tailscale) are never opened
  • The "Sunshine Admin" web-app shortcut is never installed
  • The Hyprland autostart entry is never added

The user is left with Sunshine installed but not reachable from the network and not auto-starting, with only that one error line as feedback.

Why it happens

The currently packaged sunshine (2026.516.143833-4) ships its systemd user unit as:

/usr/lib/systemd/user/app-dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine.service

not sunshine.service. The install script hardcodes the old unit name:

systemctl --user enable --now sunshine

which no longer resolves.

Steps to reproduce

  1. On a current Omarchy install, run omarchy install service sunshine
  2. Package installs fine
  3. See the Failed to enable unit: Unit sunshine.service does not exist. error and the script stops; no firewall rules, webapp, or autostart entry are created

Expected

The script enables/starts Sunshine and completes the remaining setup steps (firewall, admin webapp shortcut, autostart).

Suggested fix

Reference the actual shipped unit name (app-dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine.service) in omarchy-install-service-sunshine, e.g.:

systemctl --user enable --now app-dev.lizardbyte.app.Sunshine.service

or resolve it dynamically instead of hardcoding, in case the upstream unit name changes again. Worth double-checking omarchy-remove-service-sunshine too — it calls systemctl --user disable --now sunshine, which currently no-ops silently (the failure is swallowed by || true), so uninstall "succeeds" without actually disabling the real unit.

System details

  • Omarchy version: 4.0.2-1
  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT (Navi 44, amdgpu driver)
  • sunshine package version: 2026.516.143833-4

Workaround used

Manually enabling the correct unit name and completing the remaining steps from the script by hand got Sunshine fully working (systemd unit active, firewall rules added, admin webapp and autostart configured).

## What happened

Running `omarchy install service sunshine` installs the `sunshine` package successfully, but then fails with:

```
Failed to enable unit: Unit sunshine.service does not exist.
```

Because the script (`omarchy-install-service-sunshine`) has `set -e`, it aborts immediately at this step. As a result, everything after the `systemctl --user enable --now sunshine` line never runs:

- The Moonlight UFW firewall rules (LAN + Tailscale) are never opened
- The "Sunshine Admin" web-app shortcut is never installed
