'Temporary' fix for logid not functioning after boot

[Gusfit1]

With EndeavourOS my system seems to have an issue running logid on boot. sudo systemctl status logid returns with 'Active: active (running)', but is non-functional. It seems it relies on another service to be running first and gets loaded at the wrong time. An easy 'temporary' fix for this is to create a timer for the logid service:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/logid.timer

[Unit]
Description=Run logid on boot

[Timer]
OnBootSec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

• Disable logid.service - sudo systemctl disable logid.service
• Enable logid.timer - sudo systemctl disable logid.timer
• Reboot (possibly need to shut down to confirm timer is set properly for a cold boot)

Now logid.timer will be called and start logid.service 10 seconds later. Note that you might need to edit the timer to suit your own system, for example 1min is much too long of a delay and 5(s) is too quick for my system.

A better fix would be to check that the required services are running before starting logid, but that's above my paygrade.

"It seems it relies on another service to be running first"

Do you know which service? I set up my first linux Mint and logid is active (running) But it is non functional. Even after reboot.
