You didn't provide any logs unfortunately, so I didn't look into it.

Is this still an issue?

This is an issue for me as well on ubuntu 22.04 default desktop env. I thought maybe it was trying to start before my mouse connected so I added an after bluetooth target as well as a 15 second delay to the systemd command. No change with that

First, please install the newest .deb release from https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/releases/tag/1.5.0 and see if this has already been fixed

I have been having this issue too. I am mx linux which uses sysvinit by default. When I tried to check the status I got an error saying 'Failed to enable unit, unit key-mapper.service does not exist.' I also get an error when I run input-remapper-gtk saying 'System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down'. I finally tried installing the latest .deb package and got another error saying 'dpkg-deb: error: archive 'input-remapper-1.5.0.deb' uses unknown compression for member 'control.tar.zst', giving up'. The full outputs are attached. Thanks.

@DamienHodsall use input-remapper.service instead
