how do I restart it ?

dirmngr.service isn't even found :(

─[$] dpkg -L dirmngr | grep dirmngr.service
/usr/lib/systemd/user/dirmngr.service

─[$] ll -h /usr/lib/systemd/user/dirmngr.service

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 250 2016-11-18 19:53
/usr/lib/systemd/user/dirmngr.service

and trying to see if it works got me nothing :(


[$] sudo systemctl status dirmngr.service

[sudo] password for shirish:
Unit dirmngr.service could not be found.


I did do a cat and saw this -

─[$] cat /usr/lib/systemd/user/dirmngr.service

[4:57:44]
[Unit]
Description=GnuPG network certificate management daemon
Documentation=man:dirmngr(8)
Requires=dirmngr.socket
After=dirmngr.socket
## This is a socket-activated service:
RefuseManualStart=true

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dirmngr --supervised

Can you help ?

I actually have this in grub for few years now

─[$] cat /etc/default/grub | grep ipv6

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="ipv6.disable=1"

Maybe this goves a clue, dunno

gpg-connect-agent: no running Dirmngr - starting '/usr/bin/dirmngr'
gpg-connect-agent: waiting for the dirmngr to come up ... (5s)
gpg-connect-agent: connection to the dirmngr established
S # hosttable (idx, ipv6, ipv4, dead, name, time):


Look forward to guidance.
