How to resolve Heimdall service install and start issues?
I'm trying to install and start the Heimdall service on my Ubuntu server, but I'm running into errors. Initially, I faced a pre-removal script error during installation, indicating that 'heimdalld.service' was not loaded. Later, after reinstalling, the service couldn't be started as it was not found. Can anyone help me troubleshoot these issues?

4It seems like the issue is related to the Heimdall service's installation and its system service configuration. First, ensure that the service file for heimdalld exists at /lib/systemd/system/heimdalld.service or /etc/systemd/system/heimdalld.service. If it's missing, you might need to manually create this service file or reinstall Heimdall using the correct scripts and commands provided by the Polygon documentation .
If the above steps do not work, it might be helpful to look for errors in the system logs using journalctl -u heimdalld.service -f to find more specific issues that could indicate why the service is not starting properly .
Once the service file is confirmed to be in place, you should reload the systemd daemon to recognize the changes using sudo systemctl daemon-reload. Then, try starting the service again with sudo systemctl start heimdalld. Check the service status using sudo systemctl status heimdalld to ensure it’s running without errors .
Another point to consider is verifying the proper installation of Heimdall by checking the installed version using heimdalld version --long. This can ensure that you are running the expected version and that it's correctly installed .
