.service file issue

[Kaustubh Atrawalkar]

Where u have placed the service file? And which dbus version are u using?

For dbus 1-2-3 & higher the service file should be placed in -
{prefix}/shared/dbus-1/system-services
for lower versions the service file should be placed in -
{prefix}/shared/dbus-1/services

Also for dbus-1-2-3 & higher versions the service file should also contain
one more key

User=root

Check these and get back if doesn't work

Kaustubh (aka silverroots)
