While I am trying to execute

systemctl --user enable rclone@gdrive

systemctl --user start rclone@gdrive

on reboot time, I am getting following error:

Failed to connect to bus: $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not defined (consider using --machine=@.host --user to connect to bus of other user)

How and where exactly are you trying to run these commands? They indicate that dbus is not running, or you are in a context where you cannot connect to it. – tripleee Jan 03 '23 at 11:26
That may happen when you try to use --user, but are in a root shell without the proper systemd context. – Andrej Podzimek Jan 03 '23 at 15:04
Does this answer your question? Failed to get D-Bus connection: Connection refused – Stewart Jan 03 '23 at 15:14
