Can't start Tailscale service in Bazzite (ROG ally)
Hi everyone, I'm using Bazzite on ROG Ally. I heard that Bazzite is already come with Tailscale but when I try to use it in the terminal I got error like below.
The command I use is "ujust enable-tailscale" and "journalotl -xeu tailscaled. service" for debugging the issue.
When I tried to use "tailscale up" will get the error:
failed to connect to local tailscaled; it doesn't appear to be running (sudo systemctl start tailscaled ?)
Hope anyone can help me with this!
Solution:Jump to solution
so basically the fix step is
```
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/tailscaled.service
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/tailscaled.service.d/override.conf
sudo systemctl daemon-reload...

Could you post
sudo systemctl status tailscaled? (there's probably an easier way to grab logs from tailscale itself but this usually gets the useful bit for me)Gotcha I'll get it now
Here should be it
try running this manually
sudo tailscaled --state=/var/lib/tailscale/tailscaled.state --socket=/run/tailscale/tailscaled.sock --port=41641Thank you! I'll try it when I get home and let you guys know 🙇
Hi @asen23 , so I tried the command but I got "sudo: tailscaled: command not found" (Is this something that should not be happening?)
Afterward I tried the command with "sudo $(which tailscaled) ......" and got the result below (there's also a txt file if it helps)
the not found is kinda weird, try
systemctl restart tailscaled
oh also just ctrl+c the last command if you haventoh ctrl+c which command may I ask? 🤔
stop the tailscaled
ah right. So with the systemctl restart tailscaled i got this
try stop then start
Here it is 🙇♂️
try
journalctl -xeu tailscaledGotcha, here it is
also what is
rpm-ostree statusHere it is. When I first got the issue i tried to remove and reinstall tailscale
rpm-ostree reset reboot and try againI reset then reboot and ran all the command here 🙇♂️
oh and I saw someone else on the subreddit having the same issue too 11 days ago, I'll leave the post in case it might help

just noticed that your tailscaled are loading from different file
can you post
cat /etc/systemd/system/tailscaled.serviceGotcha
huh
probably why it is erroring
idk where it come from but just do
sudo rm /etc/systemd/system/tailscaled.service and then systemctl daemon-reloadoh no what is wrong
then restart tailscaled service again
Hmm it's still showing this instead
what is the status
this is it
wut
why is there opt
what is
cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/tailscaled.service
also ls /opt
im very confused, what is
which tailscale and cat /etc/default/tailscaledhere you go
try rebooting first and check the service status, if still fail what is
stat /opti'm on it! just want to say thank you for spending the time to troubleshoot with me, really appreciate it 🙇♂️
here it is
what is
cat /etc/systemd/system/tailscaled.service.d/override.confno such file or directory though
what if you ctrl click the override.conf
oh my bad should be tailscaled
so it should be cat /etc/systemd/system/tailscaled.service/override.conf right
edited original reply
it shows this yes
rm that too
im 99% sure it will actually solve it now
btw what did you do with tailscale? only reinstall it using rpm-ostree or you tried other stuff
oh my you tech wizard i think it works.
back then i tried tailscale but it's not working then I do the following:
ujust enable-tailscale -> tailscale update -> rpm-ostree remove -> install tailscale
really really thank you
absolute mvp
i wonder if the user in the reddit post might having the same issue tho
Solution
so basically the fix step is
mark this with the bot and you can share the link in the reddit
seems like it
they also have their tailscale service in /etc rather than /usr
ah oki i'll do it
really thank you again hope your pillow are always cool on both side ❤️
yw, glad it is fixed now
