A dependency job for cockpit.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details

id flag

I've just installed cockpit on Lubuntu 20.04 LTS, but when I run it I get this error:

A dependency job for cockpit.service failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details.

Running journalctl -xe gives the output below. Any ideas for how to diagnose/fix this?

myuser@HP-MICROSERVER:/etc/systemd/system$ sudo mkdir cockpit.socket.d && cd cockpit.socket.d
myuser@HP-MICROSERVER:/etc/systemd/system/cockpit.socket.d$ sudo featherpad listen.conf
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
myuser@HP-MICROSERVER:/etc/systemd/system/cockpit.socket.d$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
myuser@HP-MICROSERVER:/etc/systemd/system/cockpit.socket.d$ sudo systemctl restart cockpit.socket

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
