The second columns refers to the "load state", i.e. whether a unit could be loaded successfully. To make this less confusing we actually hide them on output. But you turned that off by using "--all", i.e. you asked explicitly to see them. BTW, systemctl is smart enough to detect whether it outputs on a terminal and will not do autopaging if you pipe it to something else, i.e. drop --no-pager in the command line above. > As can be seen above, when I try to "disable" them, systemctl tells me > that it can't find these services.
