err msg any thoughts??

Hi.

Trying to restart ssh. I'm getting the following..

Can't seem to figure out what I've erred in settings. Any thoughts??

systemctl restart ssh
Failed to restart ssh.service: Transaction contains conflicting jobs
'stop' and 'restart' for ssh.service. Probably contradicting
requirement dependencies configured.
See system logs and 'systemctl status ssh.service' for details.
